 Foto-Qualität - Laszlo Maholy-Nagy                                           Background This is the Cover for  Foto-Qualität (Photo-Quality) Magazine,  created in 1931  by  Laszlo Maholy-Nagy in the category of a commercial magazine. The intended goal was to spread the style of modern technology non-traditional to art.

I find the work culture here in America to be draining, excessive, and sometimes dehumanizing given that there are folks that work more than 40hour a week to make ends meet. Not everyone has the freedom to rest when they want to.
