Awesome Photos of Writers Hanging Out Together
by Emily Temple. Posted on Flavorpill Thursday Oct 11, 2012
There’s something strangely inspiring about photographs of visionaries in the same room — we don’t know quite what it is, but the idea of (what we imagine to be) a profound meeting of minds captured on film always manages to get us excited. To that end, we put together a collection of some very excellent photographs of awesome musicians hanging out together a couple of months ago, but it’s not just musical types who like to gather in inspiring combinations. Writers, it seems, also enjoy each other’s company (whatever they might say to the contrary). Click through to see our photo roundup of writers hanging out with other writers, with a hat tip to the wonderful Tumblr Awesome People Hanging Out Together for inspiration and a few of the shots.
In my minds eye I'd always envisaged Neal Stephenson as a bit of a nerd, but he looks more like a biker. Good writer.
ReplyDeleteNeil Gaiman certainly has marketing figured out.
