&lt;p&gt;A glimpse at the “Coffee Masters” segment of my new personal project &lt;strong&gt;THE&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;MASTERS&lt;/strong&gt;. This photo essay features the skilled baristas and barbacks at the &lt;a href="http://www.tobysestate.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Toby’s Estate&lt;/a&gt;. The only American base of the celebrated Australian coffee company boasts a unique feature not shared by many other New York specialty coffee companies: they perform their own roasting right here in their Brooklyn shop. Also on display, front-and-center, is Toby’s crew of baristas - all of whom hand-craft each cup backed by their years of training and experience. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ABOUT “THE MASTERS” PROJECT&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;THE MASTERS is a long-term documentary project chronicling artisans whose living comes from the work they craft with their hands. From coffee slingers and brewmasters to metal workers and fashionistas, THE MASTERS examines the personalities, the tools, and the passion that bring these sometimes unappreciated and mysterious crafts to life.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A glimpse at the “Coffee Masters” segment of my new personal project &lt;strong&gt;THE&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;MASTERS&lt;/strong&gt;. This photo essay features the skilled baristas and barbacks at the &lt;a href="http://www.tobysestate.com" target="_blank"&gt;Toby’s Estate&lt;/a&gt;. The only American base of the celebrated Australian coffee company boasts a unique feature not shared by many other New York specialty coffee companies: they perform their own roasting right here in their Brooklyn shop. Also on display, front-and-center, is Toby’s crew of baristas - all of whom hand-craft each cup backed by their years of training and experience. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;By the way, one of my favorite parts of the project: getting to meet Toby’s founder and CEO, Toby Smith. He just happened to be in the states from Australia for a coffee event and made some time to get to know me. Toby is the dude second-from-the-top. &lt;/p&gt;

I heard that their new bar Underballs is pretty swell. And yes, I also wanted to type “under” and “balls” in a professional environment.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Troy House’s Newspaper Promo&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;“Photographers hate it when we hear an art director shot their own job, but why are we art directing our own promos?” &lt;a href="http://troyhouse.com" target="_blank"&gt;Troy House&lt;/a&gt; posed this valid rhetorical question as he and I were discussing his recent newspaper promo, which I received a couple of weeks ago. House hired a copywriter and art director to help him put together a newspaper that told stories behind a series of images he made for a single campaign. The copywriter was a member of the client team on the shoot, so he was able to write short stories from House’s perspective, and, House says, he remembered a lot of details the photographer hadn’t.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;House wanted his personality to come through in the promo. He’s hired for big travel jobs, he says, and when a client’s going to spend 30 days with a photographer, personality matters. “They want to know about you,” House says. The promo is funny and self-effacing, and shows House’s commitment to his work. One headline, attached to a photo of people on a roller coaster reads: “Man Rides Roller Coaster 41 Times in Drag.” House wanted clients to understand that if they hire him, “we’re going to have a great time and do great photos,” he says.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;House printed 10 thousand copies of the newspaper, mailed seven thousand, and has been using the others as leave behinds. He’s also dropping stacks in coffee shops near the offices of ad agencies, guerrilla marketing style. Thus far he’s received 50 emails from recipients of the paper, he says, more than he’s received as the result of promos in 18 previous years in the business combined. House says he’ll never try to art direct his own promo again.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://jonathancherry.net" target="_blank"&gt;JONATHAN CHERRY&lt;/a&gt;: When did you last see the sunrise?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://carsondavisbrown.com" target="_blank"&gt;CARSON BROWN&lt;/a&gt;: Right after this past new year, it was an early morning road trip north with some friends. Pretty sleepy and for some reason we were listening to a book on tape about wolves or something. It was perfect.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;JC: Are any emerging artists inspiring you at the moment?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;CB: Here are some music artist that are on repeat right now: &lt;a href="http://xxyyxx.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank"&gt;XXYYXX&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://pegase.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Pegase&lt;/a&gt; &amp; &lt;a href="http://tonstartssbandht.bandcamp.com/album/hymn" target="_blank"&gt;Tonstartssbandht&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;a href="http://bangbangboomerang.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Mary Rothesburger&lt;/a&gt; is an artist from Palouse, WA. I love her work, but I think her most beautiful, inspiring project is the way she lives her life. &lt;a href="http://www.brettltd.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Brett Carlson&lt;/a&gt;’s work always gives me that good jealous feeling, where you get excited about doing your next project better. I guess that’s what inspiration is.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;JC: What is your current project all about?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;CB: Most recently I was the ‘documentarian’ for the roaming artist residency &lt;a href="http://cabin-time.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Cabin-Time&lt;/a&gt;. Such a fun group/project to be apart of. For me it involved a short film, photos, and I’m putting together a little zine that will be available at the show. I can’t say enough good things about CT and all the inspiring/creative people that I’ve met though it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;JC: Where are you currently living and how is it shaping you?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;CB: I’m currently living in Grand Rapids MI. For a smaller mid-west city there’s a pretty strong creative community, which I’m happy to be apart of. These’s also something beautify about Michigan in every season.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;JC: One piece of advice to recent photography graduates?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;CB: Be nice, ask questions, and work hard.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;JC: Any big plans for 2013?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;CB: I’ve been talking about a few trips with friends; Nova Scotia, Pacific Northwest, NYC, and a Colombian road trip. Not sure if I’ll be able to do them all, but definitely 3 out of 4.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;JC: Favourite tree?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;CB: Ones with forts.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Introducing #PublicArtGIFs&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We want you, The Creators Project community, to try your hand at creating GIFs from public artworks. &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&amp;v=Fj2JV9gZUNM" target="_blank"&gt;Watch Mr. GIF’s tutorial&lt;/a&gt; and then &lt;strong&gt;send your attempts via &lt;a href="https://mail.google.com/mail/?view=cm&amp;fs=1&amp;tf=1&amp;to=editor@thecreatorsproject.com&amp;su=Public%20Artwork%20GIFs" target="_blank"&gt;email&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="https://mail.google.com/mail/?view=cm&amp;fs=1&amp;tf=1&amp;to=editor@thecreatorsproject.com%20&amp;su=Public%20Artwork%20GIFs" target="_blank"&gt; &lt;/a&gt;or as a &lt;a href="http://thecreatorsproject.tumblr.com/submit" target="_blank"&gt;submission on Tumblr&lt;/a&gt;, and we’ll showcase them across Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and on the blog.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you’re wondering what to make them from you could choose any kind of public performance or artwork, old or new, like &lt;a href="http://www.dougaitkenworkshop.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Doug Aitken&lt;/a&gt;’s recently unveiled &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mirrorseattle.org/" target="_blank"&gt;Mirror&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt; on the facade of the &lt;a href="http://www.seattleartmuseum.org/" target="_blank"&gt;Seattle Art Museum&lt;/a&gt;, or sculptures like Anish Kapoor’s &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://anishkapoor.com/210/Cloud-Gate.html" target="_blank"&gt;Cloud Gate &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;in Chicago.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://thecreatorsproject.vice.com/blog/the-reaping-image-as-an-artform-mr-gif" target="_blank"&gt;For inspiration take a look at Mr. GIF’s “Heard NY” GIFs.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

I heard that their new bar Underballs is pretty swell. I also just wanted to type “under balls” and “swell” together.&lt;/p&gt;
