Whalebone

Last spring I pitched Whalebone a story on tugboats and their captains of the NY Harbor for their Slow issue. The photo essay was greenlit and the issue is out now! If you are not familiar, I highly recommend checking out this gorgeous magazine. “I’ve been fascinated by tugboats since moving to New York City nearly 15 years ago, admiring these small vessels as they do their mighty work along the East and Hudson Rivers. Whether at my previous home on the Upper East Side or my current residence in Battery Park City, the tugboat has always fascinated me, always caught my eye and – yes – tugged at my heartstrings……” Special thanks to: Deborah Feingold for the pep talk! Jordon Kaplan for green lighting this project! Steven Schafer of Stella Mar Oysters for trying to connect me with tug companies. @joshrobinsonstudio Simi Friedman and @photosbysiegel for assisting. Last but not least thanks to the tug companies and captains that participated and allowed me onto their boats. 🙏🏻 Mike at Vinik Marine Services Rachel and Dean at @henrymarineservice Brian and Gordon at Carver Companies

This is fun to share. The 2024 line-up from Whalebone. The Adventure Issue | Feb/March The Photo Issue | April/May The Throwback Issue + The Surf Thing | June/July The Sports Issue | Aug/Sept The Kind Issue | Oct/Nov The Japan Issue | Dec/Jan '25 Here are a few ways to get involved:  1. Whalebone on Bleecker. 1950 sq. feet of retail space in New York City’s prime West Village. Take over our bar space for an event, wrap the photo booth, host a comedy show or simply sell your brand’s product. Not a shop, but kind of like a shop.  2. The Surf Thing. Porsche, YETI, Lee Jeans, Dip, Bulleit and Sun Bum are just a few of our previous brand partners supporting three days of bliss in Montauk. Surf, sun, live music and panels make it an unforgettable experience.  3. A print publication making a difference. Did you know Whalebone Magazine community has grown paid subscribers 124% in 2023 and has a monthly subscriber retention rate of 97%? Not too shabby for the world's ninth-best publication that is kept and shared by quality humans like you in markets like New York City, California, Austin, Nashville, Charleston, Chicago, Seattle and other places you'd find good people. Did you know Whalebone has created custom-themed issues for brands such as Callaway, YETI, Spartan Race and Design Within Reach? More coming in our 2024 opportunities deck soon.
