\"cover<\/p>\n

My good friend and talented street photographer Jack Simon<\/a><\/strong>\u00c2\u00a0(from Burn My Eye<\/a>) has recently turned 70 years old (he looks about 2 decades younger than he is). In honor of his birthday, he recently published a new book titled: SEVENTY<\/strong><\/a> — which is a compilation of 70 great candid photos. He was also generous enough to offer the book free via ebook<\/a>. More info about the book below from Jack:<\/p>\n

SEVENTY is a compilation of 70 unplanned and unposed images. I enjoy the hunt for that moment of mystery, surprise, and humor in my everyday life. I seek images that hint to a larger story, like a publicity still from some forgotten movie. These fragments of fictional stories are drawn from the real world in an odd coupling of my unconscious, my intentions, and chance. As I turn 70, I celebrate these accidental glimpses into other worlds and untold stories that inhabit my surroundings.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
