Launch of New Magazine

IRM will be no longer as of April 1 2009. But do not be sad; for the birth of “Main Street Mag” begins!

Toronto (ON) - Estimated web version launch date of the new magazine “Main Street” is April 2009- followed by a published version in the summer of 2009. This hot new magazine with ‘attitude’ is focused on the ladies of today who want more!

“Main Street” will have sexy hot pictures of men—that’s right ladies, from Maxim to the swimsuit issue of Sports Illustrated, men have had their fix of sexy ladies for years, now it is our turn! Of course we are not one dimensional, (kidding guys) so you can find a food section, letting us know about the latest chefs, restaurants, and reviews. Also you will find reviews on books, movies, music.

Articles pertaining to relationships, art, women in business and health and wellness. A monthly fun article called “Alfa Male” the voice of a man in this ‘women’s world.’ A Ladies Magazine will not be complete with out shoes, right? Fashion trends that ladies will wear, want and need will be included. Lifestyles including cigars, wine and cars. This and so much more will give the ladies what they have been craving.

The brain child behind “Main Street?” No other than celebrity author, writer, and former radio host “Tilly Rivers.”

Tilly’s focus as Sr. Editor and owner will be coordinating the monthly magazine, as well as writing the monthly feature article.

I will be staying on as a consultant during the first few months of transition, only too enjoy my retirement on a beach of choice.

Have a blast chillin@mainstreet!!

TR: Can you describe the process you go through when
creating a piece from start to finish?

DC: This is difficult. Let me see if I can explain. For example, I will have a vision of a landscape with a barn, animals and people, I will take a lot of photos that match my vision, between 60/80. I sort the photos, and begin to change color, add shadow, shape, l blend everything put some light here and there, so many thinks can be done when you have your imagination running like crazy ! If the result reflects what I have in mind I am happy, sometimes it could take 6 to 9 months before l like it.

TR: You have won many awards for your works. Can you give us a few examples?

DC: In 2004- I proudly took not only first place for my b/w but “best of the show” at the annual NORTHEAST PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB - EVEHART MUSEUM in SCRANTON PA and the NORTHEAST PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB - Photographer of the year. Awards for 2005 included WESTMORELAND ART NATIONAL’S 1St Show - PITTSBURGH PA. - Best of Show and THE TENTH ANNUAL SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY SHUTTERBUG- I won the “People's Choice” photo. In 2006, AFA GALLERY SCRANTON - Best of show, continued to win awards in 2007 and took first place for at the ENDLESS MOUNTAINS COUNCIL OF THE ARTS. A complete list of my awards is on line.

TR: What has been the biggest challenge in the work you create?

DC: My biggest challenge is to show to the people that photography is not only a straight shot, you can do so many different things with photography art, you can open a new vision in photography, it's hard especially with old photographers, they do not too see photography skill in my creations.


TR: Do you still see the magic when you create?

DC: Yes absolutely, I feel this pulse each time I create; last year I created “Midnight Transpennsylvania” it's the reflection of my dream on the night of March 8th, 2007. It was a delightful dream, the one you have only once in your life, the sensation of peace was so intense that I had the urgent need to do an Artwork of it. It took me more than 3 weeks to realize this work, 54 photos combined together- images came to my mind as if I was guided, somehow I was back in time.

I have a gallery in Olyphant today, but I am looking to move to Vermont, Maine... I would love to give lessons and pass my passion for creation, I always think that Art brings civilization, and I know they have a lot of Artist over there.
