 20060214 LaPorte, Indiana by Jason Bitner
Here's a headsup that my friend Jason Bitner, who co-created Found Magazine, is publishing a book called LaPorte, Indiana. He's not from Indiana, but once while passing through he stopped at a diner, and in the back he found boxes of studio portraits of local townspeople. 18,000 in all, taken by one man over 30 years. He sorted through them and pulled out his favorites to make this book. The pictures are fascinating.I think it comes out in March, but it is available for pre-sale on Amazon. In the meantime, you can see a few sample pages. 2

 Hi, I'm Zach. I grew up in Fort Wayne, Indiana and graduated from Wake Forest. After college, I moved to Manhattan to get serious about a company I ran with friends. We sold it to Barry Diller's InterActiveCorp in 2006. I just wrapped up with a project I co-founded called Vimeo and left CV to focus on being a twenty-five year old. I have another blog called Copy and Taste, where I post about learning to cook. I live in Brooklyn now.
