Over the course of the past two
months, I’ve had the opportunity to
work some of the most talented
people I’ve ever met. I have
watched this issue bloom into
something amazing. This issue is
going to be a billion times better
than the first and I can’t wait to
start working on the next. Drew is
probably one of the greatest
people I’ve gotten to work with;
she is full of ideas and creativity
and awesome. I hope you guys
enjoy this issue as much as I
enjoyed creating it, and keep your
eyes peeled for the next!

Jennifer and I have spent
countless hours working to
discover the most talented group
of young people on the internet
and we feel we’ve accomplished
just that. Staying In has grown
greatly since the last issue and I
cannot thank you all enough for
taking the time to read and
contribute this magazine. I feel so
incredibly lucky that I’m able to
work with such lovely, artistic, and
all around awesome people who
appreciate their art just as much
as I do. I can’t wait to see what
happens next.

SI: When did you first become interested in photography? GL: When I was really young, I remember closing my eyes, opening them quickly, and then closing them again. I could see the image in my mind.
I could see the image in my mind. I did this
before I even knew what a camera was. When I got my first
camera when I was in grade school, I was
hooked. It was almost like a second nature.
“I hope to achieve a sense of carefree youth, and curiosity. If my work does, I'm a happy man.
I hope to achieve a sense of carefree youth, and curiosity. If my work does, I'm a happy man.”
SI: If you could photograph anyone, dead or alive, who would it be? GL: Kurt Cobain SI: Who is your favorite photographer? GL: Juergen Teller. I especially love the stuff he shoots for the Marc Jacob's campaigns.
My favorite photograph that I have taken would be the one of my
cousin and my friends walking down to the beach in the summer. It was my first roll of film. It all came
together in the viewfinder. I was looking at the sea, and then saw
them all walk down in front of me. When they were lined up, I shot.
SI: What music are you currently listening to?
GL: I'm currently getting into a lot of shoegaze/chillwave stuff. Check
out anything from Teen Daze (teendaze.bandcamp.com) or
Kynan (kynan.bandcamp.com)
SI: What are some of your favorite films and books?
GL: I really loved the movie Hanna. The music, videography, and pretty much everything else
was amazing. My favorite book is The Catcher in the Rye.
SI: Who or what influences you the
most? Why? GL: I think the people I surround myself with
inspire and influence me the most. I keep
my friends and family super close.
SI: Which do you
prefer- film or digital? Why?
I definitely prefer film over digital. You have
to think about, and know exactly, what
you are doing. Shutter speed, f stop, focal
length, the iso of the film. It's way more
thoughtful, raw, and intimate. No post
production, no 16 gb SD cards. Just you, the
camera, and 24 moments to capture.
SI: Where do you see yourself in ten years? GL: Hopefully off doing something I love. But who knows.
SI: "What did you have for breakfast this morning?"
(question by Richard Ramirez Jr.)
GL: I had an amazing casserole for breakfast, with hashbrowns
and a nice coffee.
SI: Lastly, what would you like to ask our next interviewee?
GL: City or forest?

JAMES EVANS
16 / philadelphia / canon xs
SI: When did you
first become
interested in
photography?
JE: I first started
becoming interested
in photography
when, as a child, I
played around with
disposable cameras.
Though my
equipment has
changed a lot since
then, my motives
have seemed to stay
the same.
SI: Who (or
what) is your
biggest
influence?
JE: As far as
photography goes,
I love Annie
Leibovitz. Her
work is very
honest. I also take
bits of inspiration
from Salvador
Dali, Leonardo
DaVinci, and
Vincent Van
Gogh.
SI: Which do
you prefer- film
or digital? Why?
JE: As much as I
love the textural
elements of film,
digital
photography is
much more
convenient/cost
effective in this
day and age.
SI: Who are your
favorite artists?
JE: I would probably have
to say Cecilia Beaux.
When I was young, I saw
her work at an exhibit at
the Philadelphia Academy
of the Fine Arts (where I
hope to study one day).
Her bold painting
technique is really
amazing in person. I really
admire expressionists.
SI: Which artistic medium do you prefer to use?
JE: On top of photography, I also paint and draw quite a bit. I’m
planning on going to college for art education at a high school
level. I love oil paint and oil pastel, but I also really enjoy
graphite and charcoal.
SI: What music are you
currently listening to?
JE: My tastes are incredibly
fickle. One day I’ll be listening
to Iggy Pop and the Stooges,
and the next I’ll be listening to
Mahler’s Piano Quartet in A
Minot. I love classical music,
but I’ve also always had a thing
for 1960’s rock and roll. That’s
not to say that I don’t listen to
contemporary musicians as well.
Recently I saw St. Vincent at
live in Philadelphia, and it was
truly phenomenal. I also really
like Hunx and His Punx,
Devendra Banhart, and Girls. I
could really rant all day about
music.
SI: What are some of your
favorite films and books?
JE: I’ve always had an affinity to
Hitchcock films. My favorite is
“Spellbound” (1945). It features
dream sequences directed by
Salvador Dali, and stars
Gregory Peck and Ingrid
Bergman (two of my favorites).
Also, “Brick” (2005, directed by
Rian Johnson) is an amazing
take on a modern film noir.
“J'ai tué ma mere” and
“Les Amours
Imaginaires” (both of
which are directed by
Xavier Dolan) have so
much style, it’s
ridiculous. As for
books, I love Lolita by
Vladimir Nabokov, A
Single Man by
Christopher Isherwood
and pretty much
anything by Roald
Dahl. Also, I love the
1990’s television
program “Twin Peaks”.
“I’m in love with too many people who no longer are living.
I’m in love with too many people who no longer are living.”
SI: Where do you see
yourself in ten years?
JE: To be honest, I have
no idea where I’m
going. As I said before,
I’m considering art
education, but I really
have no serious plans.
My life is moving fast,
and that excites me but
it also terrifies me.
SI: If you could have
dinner with anyone,
dead or alive, who
would it be? Why?
JE: These are the
questions that often
keep me up at night. I’d
love to have dinner
with Gregory Peck or
James Dean. Or Van
Gogh, come to think of
it. Actually, in all
honesty, I wouldn’t be
able to choose. I’m in
love with too many
people who no longer
are living. It’s a
problem I’m working
on.
SI: "What is your
favourite art piece?"
(question by Meghan
Reilly)
JE: Probably
“Daughters of Edward
Darley Boit” by John
Singer Sargent.
SI: Lastly, what
would you like to ask
our next
interviewee?
JE: What would you
describe your style as?
(This could be about
your art or your
fashion sense/musical
tastes.)

equipment
SI: When did you first decided to pick up a camera and start
shooting? AE: I picked up my first camera
in high school, I went around shooting conceptual, abstract
things that captivated my eye. It just kind of grew from there!
SI: Who or what inspires you
the most? Why? AE: As far as inspiration goes,
everything around me inspires me, to be honest. To music to people watching, I love when
inspiration captures you from nowhere and kind of pulls you
into creating something new and fresh.
SI: What's your favorite photograph you've taken?
AE: The Wanderer. I believe it entirely represents me in every
way and in a sense I feel like it doesn't even touch a single
strand of who I truly am.
“I just want to convey honesty.
I just want to convey honesty.”
SI: What message do you hope to convey with your photos? AE: To not be frightened by emotions, to allow yourself to go to those depths, to those places inside you that you feel as if you have to conceal. I just want to convey honesty.
SI: Which do you prefer- film or digital? Why?
AE: I actually prefer both. Both have their advantages and
disadvantages and I love film for its honesty, there is no editing,
no tricks, it's just raw and what you see is what you get. Where
as digital, its what our society entirely adores, it's fast and
allows you to work towards a perfected shot and I suppose
that's a grand thing to have in certain situations.
SI: If you could photograph anyone, dead or alive, who would it be? AE: Emily Dickinson. My favorite literary choice! SI: Who is your favorite photographer? AE: I have handfuls of those who I admire, it is quite arduous to solely choose one!
SI: In terms of photography, where do you see yourself in ten years?
AE: Hopefully, still continuing to shoot, even if its just for me, even if my eyes only set their sights on it, I just hope I
continue.
SI: What music are you currently listening to? AE: Eisley, My Morning Jacket, Of Montreal, T Rex, Bic
Runga, Cursive Mostly The Lord of The Rings Soundtrack!
SI: What are some of your favorite films and books? AE: LOTR, Willow, Labryinth, Inception, Dark Knight Returns, The Dark Crystal, The Never Ending Story, Big Fish, Everything Harry Potter. Collection of Emily Dickinson Poetry, All works of Sylvia Plath Robert Frost Poetry, The Chronicles of Narnia, LOTR, W.B. Yeats, All works of Virginia Woolf. SI:. Who is your fashion icon? AE: As far as style that has personality, I love Sherri Dupree-Bemis's style from the band Eisley. It's quite honest, fearless and it entirely reflects her personality. I love that she wears whatever she wants! SI: Lastly, what would you like to ask our next interviewee? AE: If you could create one last image, what would it be? What would you want that piece to say?
