Very cool. A question about the timing: the photos were taken on 9/23 and the mag was available for purchase on magcloud two days later. Magcloud's "how it works" indicates that it may take 2 weeks for the publisher to receive proofs. Did Derek skip the proofs? [Update: I missed Derek's link below. His description implies that he proofed it directly, w/o a cycle through magcloud.]

Thanks so much for the post, Rex!

I emailed every photographer and asked them for submissions. All photographers retain their copyrights.
