Our second mentee to launch a Kickstarter project did so earlier this week, and it’s a good one. November 9, 2016 (One Thousand Cranes) is an art / photo book by Brent Nakamoto. After the 2016 election, Brent took the November 9th edition of the New York Times and folded it into 1000 paper cranes, as a means of personal mediation and contemplation after the, well, shit show that had just gone down.

I love the concept behind the project, and it carries special significance for me, as my first son was born on November 9, 2016 (yes, that was crazy). The photo book looks gorgeous, and $80 for a signed copy is a steal. I know I will cherish my copy for years to come.

Please check out the project and do consider becoming a backer.
