I had a lot of great experiences with this month's issue
of DELUX. I had the opportunity to interview an interna-
tional shoe designer who grew up in St. Louis. Going to
the photo shoots and interviewing the subjects on set
was fast and exciting. I can't wait to pursue my career in
Magazine Journalism, and I will hopefully be getting my
Master's Degree from the University of Missouri's school
of Journalism and Graduate Studies. When I get out of
school, my dream job would be to work for a magazine
such as NYLON or Zink.

Jay Baker
Photographer
Jay Baker is not the hair stylist, nor is he the wardrobe guy, nor the assis-
tant, nor the intern that goes and gets the coffee for everybody. He's just
the photographer. (But he can do that other stuff if he needs to) Jay gets
called on to shoot anything & everything and he wouldn't have it any other
way. "It keeps life from getting too monotonous," quips Baker. "I just like
to make cool stuff. One day I'm shooting a bottle of Bombay Sapphire, the
next day I'm doing fashion work." Jay has been shooting commercial work
in St. Louis for 15 years and has been at FK Photo since 1999.

Brian Cummings
Photographer
When DELUX first contacted designer turned
photographer, Brian Cummings, he jumped at the
chance to work with our team. "DELUX has a fresh new
approach to the STL scene. Working with people who
are pushing the boundaries of creativity in art, fashion,
and music is what drives me."

Seven L. Maxwell
Copy Writer
When I initially embarked on this journey, I was already the current
Editor-in-Chief of two entertainment magazines based out of the West
Coast. Working my way up to the top was exciting; however, the prestige
which was felt on the West Coast wasn't as celebrated by those who
matter most--people at home. When I was invited to add my style to
Delux Magazine, I was inspired again. I had another opportunity to utilize
my gift to recognize and celebrate the people and places in the city in
which I reside (and party). You see, my confidence is unique, but my
strength comes from the words I place on paper and through those words
I invite you to dream. Challenge yourself to embark on a journey with
DELUX and I promise you nothing short of a brand new experience--The
DELUX Experience!

graphics, Renee is a perfect fit for DELUX Magazine. Her
punk rock foundation drives her rebellion against boring
art, compelling her to be the best at what she does and to
continuously strive for perfection. A graphic artist for over
8 years, Renee has worked for clients from local bands to
giant corporations, bringing her cutting-edge style to the
masses. Now, she is excited to bring that same vision to
her work with DELUX Magazine.
