Joan Baez, 2017 Rolling Stone Interview
“When Joan Baez shared a bill with the Indigo Girls about 20 years ago, a young fan approached, asking for an autograph – for his grandmother. "Tell your grandmother to go fuck herself!" [...] Baez winces at the memory. "I felt so awful and said, 'I'm sorry – of course I'll sign it.'"

“Even if my assignment is one portrait, I’ll go above and beyond and try to put together a story,” says Justin Kaneps. His work ethic and his ability to combine portraits with storytelling have caught the eye of photo editors. “His pictures are suffused with natural light and rich colors and textures that give them a vivid, dreamy quality,” says Bloomberg Businessweek’s Clinton Cargill, who assigned Kaneps to shoot a cover story on Levi’s. “They also fit clearly in the tradition of the early color photographers…. It gives his pictures a sense of nostalgia that worked perfectly to portray an iconic American brand like Levi’s.” Kaneps breaks down his approach to photography like this: minimal gear, respect for subjects, let the work speak for itself. He balances the meticulously placed and the arbitrarily happened-upon, the thoughtful and the spontaneous. At art school, he was heavily influenced by the New Topographics photographers, but when he started making portraits in 2011, he looked to the work of Walker Evans and Lewis Hine. Moving forward, he hopes eventually to dig into long-term storytelling projects in places as far flung as Alaska, Guatemala, Latvia or Sweden. Kaneps credits human connection and communication with both peers and editors for the advancement of his career thus far. “I wear my heart on my sleeve, but it’s helped me forge deep connections to my peers, mentors and subjects,” reveals Kaneps. Meeting individually with editors in their offices has been more helpful for earning assignments than attending portfolio reviews or festivals. Speaking about marketing his work, he says there’s a lesson he’s learned: “Keep a fire in your heart and if you really want it you’ll get there with a fine balance of patience and persistence.”

Happy birthday Joan Baez! In our new interview, the singer discusses the end of her touring career and how her "pretty fucking gloomy" worldview informed her first album in a decade, 'Whistle Down the Wind.' "I have a new range and a new way of expressing myself," she says, "and it really reflects a lifetime of singing, among other things." Head to RollingStone.com to read the full story.

Jerry Brown is a towering figure in California. He is closing out the last of four terms as governor – completed in two eras, bracketing 28 "out" years in which he served stints as a progressive radio host, mayor of Oakland and state attorney general. In our new interview, he discusses his 50 years in politics, important next steps for climate change, Trump and more. "Now, it's true that if you spend enough time at something, and you're paying attention and you're curious and you listen, you can learn a lot," he told us. "I've been doing that longer than anybody in California. It gives me a certain familiarity with the work." Read the full interview at RollingStone.com.

- Interesting variety of subject matter - lighting is nice in the first and last image - not too sure how to interpret the blackish blue hands
