We just received our copy of Harry Benson: Photographs and it’s getting Rave Reviews.

“Brilliantly designed by Randall J. Lane from Williamsburg-based GHAVA, with additional sequencing by Gigi and Harry, I think this is easily among the best books we have done, and if we were to stop tomorrow, there could be no finer final note.”- Daniel Power, CEO and founder of powerHouse Books.

“You can never go wrong with a sumptuous photo album from a legendary lensman. Spanning 60 years of starlets and presidents, Harry Benson: Photographs traces the buoyant trajectory of the American spotlight.” –Vogue

“As powerHouse Books’ new monograph Harry Benson: Photographs demonstrates, he relentlessly and patiently wormed his way into hotel and locker rooms long before high-powered publicity firms began restricting access.” –New York Magazine

It’s up! We just finished hellohealth.com and here’s what people are saying about it:

New York Post: “A ‘revolutionary, new’ practice that ‘has managed to do what the federal government has not yet — namely, provide fast, affordable, high-quality, easily accessible health care.”

GOOD Magazine: “The platform is as straightforward to use as scheduling a trip to the Genius Bar on Apple.com.”

CNN: “We still see our doctor the same way our grandparents did. I think we’re about to see big changes in this area.”
