We're kicking off a new series on the creative process in its many forms, and for our first installment, the incredibly talented street art team Alynn-Mags let us tag along as they executed a new piece. Paint was spilled, cameras were spattered, and it was all good.

Have a listen to "Weekend Edition's" Rachel Martin interviewing director Steve Lickteig about "Open Secret" in advance of its US broadcast premiere.
We're pleased to announce that "Open Secret," a film Bret edited about the not-so-secret story of director Steve Lickteig's adoption, will premiere on Al Jazeera America tonight at 9PM EST.
Despite living so close for so many years, we've never had a chance to explore the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, a maze of tidal waterways and agricultural islands that would be underwater if they weren't protected by earthen levees. Todd recently had a chance to spend some time out on the islands and on the water, and came away with this short piece for Greenpeace's "Postcards from Climate Change" series.
You probably remember the movie "Free Willy" ... but do you remember Keiko ... the whale who played Willy? We were just a few years too old to fully appreciate the phenomenon that was "Free Willy," but let's just say he had a complicated life that was every bit as dramatic as the film in which he starred. You can learn all about it in Bret's latest edit for Retro Report on the New York Times homepage this morning.
We were very fortunate to have been able to work on TIME's "One Dream" package commemorating the 50th Anniversary of the March on Washington and of Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech. It launched today, so have a look if you can.
It's fascinating to revisit major news events where the collective memory of what really happened isn't quite on the mark. Remember Y2K? Was it really "much ado about nothing?" Watch Bret's latest Retro Report edit on the NYTimes homepage to find out.
Remember in the 80s when we heard that "crack babies" were being born in droves and would pose a catastrophic drain on our public resources? If you want to know what REALLY happened to them, check out Bret's latest "Retro Report" edit on the NYTimes homepage this morning.
It isn't often that you are able to sit in a room with living history. Bret was lucky to have that chance in his recent shoot for TIME's upcoming series commemorating the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington. Here's Harry Belafonte and Clarence B. Jones, who is the last of MLK's living advisers and one of the architects of the "I Have a Dream" speech.
