About the Book
Verified: A testament to the ever-changing, ever-evolving obsession with modernized phenomena of likes, followers, and views. They are the new human metric - the new scale to which we measure success and credibility.
We search for reassurance in an image or sound that we have accessible to us in the time it takes us to move our fingertips. We search and browse for the blue check like our livelihoods depend on it. In music, in photography, in journalism - we allow it to dictate our levels of talent and our limitations. This book is distilled counter-culture to that.
We, those without the blue checks - the unVERIFIED - determine our own talents, our own limits, our own passions. I hope to make a statement that recognition and value should be correlated with mutual support from within our immediate creative communities and the industry as opposed to ephemeral digits on our social media pages. This publication is our own scripture to say that we are VERIFIED because WE say so.
