3 Big Announcements at The Sartorialist
I have been really busy this summer and a lot of those efforts are now big announcements.
1. I have signed a contract with CondeNet allowing them to handle ad sales for my blog.
I have lasted two years with no ads but Condenet is a great partner (an industry leader) that will be able to deliver advertisers that work within the spirit of this blog. I resisted ads for two years because i didn't want to do Google ads or have to hunt for ads myself which would have taken me away form my top priority if shooting on the street. This money will help me with more self-funded trips to places like South America, more of Northern Europe and Asia (just to name a few). Also it will allow me to hire someone that can keep up on computer-based projects like "The Shopping Guide" and "The SartoriaList" while I ,again, can fully focus on shooting. NetaPorter.com will be the first advertiser starting on or about Sept. 6th.
2. I have signed with Jed Root which is one of the top international agencies for fashion photographers, stylist. hair and make-up etc.
I am really excited to be in the same agencies as established star photographers such as Michael Thompson, Diego Uchitel, Koto Bolofo.
Up to now I have paid the bills with a mix of special projects and editorials which have been very time consuming. Now working with the team at Jed Root I will be able to work on editorials and ads that fit my style and schedule while leaving the paperwork, etc to the team so I can continue to shoot.
3. I will also be working with Danziger Projects to handle print sales and exhibits. Again, I am super excited to be in such an elite group of artists. Chuck Close is amazing and I am honored to be in his company. I have been working on prints lately and if you like the quality of the images on the blog then you will love the print quality because it is even better.
I have two or three other projects still in work that I might be able to announce soon.
I just want to thank everyone for their support over the last two years. When i started The Sartorialist I thought it would be fun to put up photos for people to look at but I had not really thought that we would create such a great space to communicate our inspirations, thoughts, and dreams.

Sart, I hope too much money and notoriety wont change you...for the rest, I wish you good luch and all the best!!

Please continue to be fantastic!
Congratulations again, all the best for the future. xo
Sart, is there somewhere we can buy prints now?
I have been a reader and anonymous poster for a year and a half. I'm really grateful for the style topics you have raised, especially the ones that arise spontaneously, when you capture a look that surprises people. I love watching hundreds of people approve of a sartorialist one would never see in a magazine. On that note your blog is so current and inspiring that I rarely buy fashion magazines any more. To get back to the topic of this post, it has been really exciting to watch you form a career around something you love and do well. I look forward to your broadcasts from new places. Bravo, Sartorialist, bravo!
Congratulations! I really like how you take care of your own 'standards'. Keep up the good work!!
Congrats, sir!
I just find it so neat that you've become a "success" (in worldly terms) by going with what you love and doing it on your terms. Good for you!
As a Canadian fashion student I really look up to you and admire your drive and passion for fashion. Congratulations on your success! You are truly an inspiration to me in all that I do! Thanks
you amaze me !!
first a {bow} is in order and a {hats off} CONGRATULATIONS ~!!!!!

Congrats!!! You truly are an inspiration to young fashion bloggers! Pleae oh, please stay true to this blog as it has become my muse (sorry, if that's selfish)!
congratulations! you deserve all these great things. you really are the best at what you do. you have it all, from amazing photography to impeccable taste (...and humility, too.) amazing!
Congratulations! The quality of your work is bound to attract the best-of-the-best and I'm excited to see all the new shots that this freedom enables!
Congratulations! Looking forward to the new developments...
youre gonna make some good money sart! soon designers will be wishing u find someone on the street wearing their creations.
U can be the kate moss of street photography.
"the sartorialist had that dress on his site, SO GOTTA HAVE IT !"
or
"SART had it on his site last year, that dress is so last season!"
Beautiful. Though this might sound trite, I'm so happy that you turned a passion into a way to make a living. And I am really glad people have taken notice of your great compositional skills. The accolades are well deserved.
Virtual Don Perignon, good luck and congratulations!!
Congratulations on your success, and it does go to show--do what you love, and the rest will follow.
Congrats, congrats, congrats and congrats! (Is that one for each project?)
Everything has grown exactly as it should.
Congratulations! You deserve it!
2 years wow! This is an holding on and a believe in oneself!!
Another Congrats from Paris TheSart!
You're inspire us, our dressing room every morning and our emancipated style.
Congrats! You deserve it all. Truly, Sart. I think your sincerity and the fact that you mantain such a positive vibe here are part of the reason for all your good fortune! Your talent, of course, is the other part of the reason. Keep it up. I'm really happy for you.
Congratulations!!!!
You deserve it all!!!
You know we all love you!
hooray! congratulations sart!
congratulations and the very best of luck for your latest endeavours. you are truly an inspiration.
Wonderful news. Congratulations. How wonderful that you are able to do this while preserving the spirit of the blog.
Kudos!
Congratulations from Spain. Good news always bring better situation.
Keep taking!!!
Congratulations Sart! We wish you every success. It's amazing what you've done the last 2 years and how you've done it without any advertising revenue. It's so admirable when many other bloggers & sites set up first with revenue at the top of their minds. Am so glad that you'll be richly rewarded for your incredible talent & hard work now.
Congratulations, Sart! This blog has been a consistent source of instruction and amusement. I only hope you have not sold out to the fashionistas. I suppose time will tell. Can expect to see photos of everyday people, fashion outsiders, and Trad individuals? Also, more Old Man Style, please.
Congrats! Not only do i love the personalities you pick from the street, your photography is awesome!
Hopefully one day you'll be able to come to Singapore. :)
Do announce on your site beforehand if you do, I work in the local publishing industry and will be able to interview you!
Congratulations !!!
You truly deserve it, your work is a constant source of inspiration to me as a designer and blogger.
Good luck with everything.

This little fans in HKG is thrilled to hear the great news from you...wish to see your print work one day in bookstores and hope to see you around in HKG :)
Hello from Barcelona!
You should come to the catalan city, is plenty of design. I recommend you to come while the bread and butter fair.
good luck on your new projects, you deserve it.
You have a keen eye on fashion. Rgrds.
Scott:
Many congratulations and I, too, would encourage you to think about a book. Oft times during a day, we will take a break and look at what you have posted and it always sparks a good discussion. Sometimes about composition, sometimes about characters (our favorites are the senior men!), sometimes about age, sometimes about the influence of place on style-or indeed, style on place! Lots of good chapters there.
You and your readers have inspired me to "take another look around" and truly see on many a day. Hope all of these wonderful new opportunities do not cause you to forget to be blissful as you "follow your bliss".
I am so happy for you! You are a truly unique talent and your rise and recognoition is very well-deserved!
David Zyla (green seersucker)

Congrats.
Keep up the good work.
Congrats, such exciting news Sart!! Your dedication to personal expression is quite lovely!!
So exciting and so well deserved. Good choice about the ads, good opportunities with the other two bits of news. As you can see, we, your readers, are all behind you on these new ventures.
Congratulations! It's great to see such a great and talented person get more freedom to pursue his work.
Congratulations!! I am so happy for you --
I wanted to use to opportunity to thank you for what you do, you are such an inspiration.
You deserve this!
Congratulations and good luck!
Congratulations! Keep on doing what you're doing. Watching your blog grow and checking it every day to see your beautiful photos is wonderful and inspiring!
Congrats.
I know it's been said, but CONGRATS!
I look forward to seeing your shots in Buenos Aires!
Congratulations!
You deserve it, congratulations!
Hi Sart:
At the risk of sounding trite, I find it inspiring that you found a way to "succeed" by doing something that you loved. Also, the thing that really separates your blog from the pack is the complete absence of snarkiness. It's quite the opposite actually: You come across as a guy who loves fashion -- and also likes people. I hope your Conde affiliation doesn't compromise your voice or exuberance.
A Fan
Congratulations. This is still one of my all-time favourite blogs - best way to start my day!
Complimenti, I am so glad this will enable you to explore further on the world's fashion scene.
prints - yes please! I hope you'll include the shops from Italy and the sleeping barber in those.
This should tell you that by trusting your eye for beauty and style, you'll have the world at your feet. Can't wait to see this next level!
Big kisses to you, Sart. Keep it up. I will miss the clean look of this blog once it is cluttered with ads....but if it means more pictures and greater freedom for you, then I say yes. Yes!
hy Mr Scoot!!!
congratulations man!!!
i look your blog every day!!the photos are so nice and fresh.beautiful!!
the change is about your beautiful,passionate and hard work
keep on!!!
i live here in barcelona and when you will need "help" tell me,ok??
good luck!!
hug
alan nei
Wow! Great news.
Congratulations!!!!
Great news. You deserve it. I stumbled on this blog not long ago and am now totally hooked. i am a designer and it is a constant source of inspiration and so much more relevant to me than contrived fashion magazines. I especially love that you feature many shots of stylish 'mature' ladies. This is something you almost never see in mainstream media. Well done sir!
Alright! So when will we see a casting call for your computer guy?
Thanks for being such a real and positive influence in the world of fashion...
It breaks my heart that you will now accept advertisements. More and more, I feel surrounded by marketers on every side, to the point of claustrophobia. Your site has been such wonderful sanctuary from commercialism. I will probably stop visiting now.
I realize that you need to make a living and I am very happy that your work has landed you a job with a top agency. Best wishes for continued success in the future!
Dreaming is living! Congratulations to you and much success in these new endeavors.
Your blog provides us with a visual template for our times.
congratulations! =)
I love hearing success stories that start with blogging. Congratulations!
You're a remarkable talent, Sart and it's been a privilege and a pleasure to visit you here.
It's wonderful to see one of the good guys get ahead. Well done!

Conrads! Well deserved! Jed Root is awesome!
You do such amazing work. It's wonderful to see all of this coming your way.
Congratulations--so deserved! :)
Congrats...this blog is amazing I check it multiple times a day...and that goes to show that so many others do as well.
Congrats! Love. This. Blog.
Sincere congrats to you. I look forward to the work you will be coming up with in the future and wish you the very, very best.
However...does this mean you will no longer be posting as regularly as you have been? That will be quite a disappointment.
Congratulations! As a long time reader I have seen your photos go from strength to strength. You are an inspiration to us all.
Best Wishes
congratulations! it is fantastic and inspiring to see that you are able to support yourself and your family by doing something that you love to do. everyone should be so lucky as to turn their passion into their career.
(and chuck close is fantastic too!)
congrats ... i adore this blog. it is my biggest inspiration for my own fashion world. i hope this site will stay free for everyone all around the world !!!
thx a lot for this great BLOG
Congratulations on your well0deserved success. Your pictures always bring a smile to my face.
Add my congrats to the chorus of well-wishers.
It's such an up-right and responsible thing to not only announce your career plans, but to choose ads that fit the spirit of the blog.
All the best!
Congrats!
Good luck with all you new adventures. Good to know that SouthAm is in your fashion radar ;)
Congratulations! I love your blog and visit daily ... there really is nothing else like it. All the best!
thanks again to everyone for your support and congrats!!!
and yes, Virginia, i will be posting more not less
Great..! Congratulations.
Continue on your great work, and projects.
We'll wait for you in South America...!
Congradulations, Sart. I certainly admire that you been able to accomplish so much in a short period of time, without even really attempting to do so.
I'm hoping your work with Danziger Projects will result in a book at some point!
congrats-amazing!
i am really looking forward to your trips to south america especially- I was recently in Argentina, and keep on thinking what a great addition Buenos Aires designers/style would be. Not that my opinion matters all that much, but i think that your timing has been impeccable with business choices. I can't wait to see where you go from here!
Wow!! You've become an associate of Jedroot! That is such an accomplishment for a fashion photographer. Congratulations, you have just become the envy of many people!
congrats! i love your blog and follow it daily. Im glad your going so far and keep it up!
Bravo. Thanks for keeping your readers up to date and in the loop with your developing projects.
Good for you, Sart! You deserve it! Just keep the same spirit.
Well sorry but I don't wanna write my comment in english...
Te felicito por todo el trabajo que has hecho hasta ahora, todo este tiempo has marcado la pauta para iniciar un moviemiento en internet sobre la moda urbana alrrededor del mundo y has dejado un registro increiblemente estetico para futuras referencias y para todo aquel que este involucrado en el mundo de la moda.
La verdad has sido inspiracion para todos aquellos fotografos que sueñan con trabajar en casas de moda o simplemente expresar su talento, yo me cuento como uno de ellos por que gracias a tu blog decidi darme una vuelta por Nueva York el pasado mes de abril y gracias a tu blog he empezado a hacer algo de styling y fotografia para una revista en mi ciudad ( claro que no es nada comparado con tu trabajo).
Me da gusto saber que quieres visitar sudamerica, aunque no exista la cultura de la moda y el consumo tanto como en los paises del primer mundo, pero estoy seguro que captaras con tu lente a muchos personajes con estilo.
Me despido deseandote la mejor suerte del universo y al mismo tiempo disculparme por escribir mi comentario en otro idioma.
Un abrazo!
Yave*
Yeah times four and how many other great things you have going on for both you and us, your readers!
Great example of turning a job into a passionate, profitable pursuit, Sart!
Inspired,
mltt
Congratulations! I couldn't be more pleased for you that not only your photography. but your writing skills have paid off big time.
Bravo!
That's great news for you and the blog! I look forward to all the posts that come out of these new ventures and opportunities. Congratulations!
Congrats!
I love your work and I check you're blog almost everyday!
I love your work so much because sometimes reading Vogue can be such a bore as it lacks the life and evergy that all youre photos possess! Hope that you go really far and that someday I'll see you're work in the glossies at my local newstand! For now wishing you the best of luck! =)
Congratulations on the many good things coming your way!
You have been such an inspiration - living your passion, and remaining so grounded as success found you.
Best of luck with everything else, and cheers to many more years of The Sartorialist!
The fact that you followed your heart and continue to do so is such a wonderful example. I am thrilled it has paid off. You are truly a worldwide success story. You remind me of the poem by e.e. cummings: "To be nobody but your self, in a world which is working, night and day, to make you, just like everybody else, means to fight the greatest battle there is to fight, and never stop fighting" Great job Scott!
wow!
that is so fantastic -- congratulations, and thank you for your creative expression and dedication to your wonderful blog!
Congrats from Chicago. You deserve it all!
Congratulations! Does this mean, though, that we won't ever see the Shopping Guide? 'cause you will be busier than ever!?! Again, all the best!
Congrats Satorialist! I hope this doesnt make you neglect this site though!
Congratulations! You bring us so much pleasure and inspiration. Good to see you getting some rewards for the work.
Congratulations, indeed. It's always heartening to read about someone who's doing great work *and* getting to enjoy the rewards.
I can hardly wait!
You've been my favorite blog since I discovered you almost 2 years ago when I was 16.
Your blog, and later your section in GQ, has made me realize how much I love fashion and has done more to develop my sense of fashion and style than other medium I've encountered... I'm glad you'll be expanding and that you have done it without compromising the quality I have come to expect when I check your blog every day.
You had me at "Chuck Close". Wow.
Enjoy the fruits of it all, you have earned all these blessings and I am truly happy for you. It's nice to see the deserving get good things :)Hooray!
By the way, this blog always brightens my day - so thank you again.
Being only a recent finder of Satoralist Im glad to say how impressed I am not just with your thoughful eye as a photographer, but the unique connection you have created your other devotees. No easy task!
Your site is uncluttered and inspirational on so many levels it is impossible to fault.
Well done and congratulations on your new developments.
Devoted Follower of Inspiraiton
congratulations!!! your hard work and talents made them happen. just please don't forget us, the anonymous netizens reading and being educated by your blog every day. :)
Wonderful!
congratulations sart! this blog is perfect the way it is though look forward to changes. your a real inspiration x
Hey
I definitely suggest you sign on with a publisher and print a book or two with just photos and comments from previous years.
you can even make a series.
you'd make it super big! i know i would absolutely love to own a book of my favorite photographer's work.
Olga.
congratulations! with your talent and modesty and integrity, you derserve every success.
Dear Scott, I'm so happy for you!
You deserve all that, you're the best!
Love from Paris :-)
Its good to see someone with creative edge talent and drive make it.
You Deserve this and more!
wow, congratulations to you--terrific and inspiring.
guess things have to go forward, but... guess you're a good one, so Good Luck!
Congratulations!! I love your pictures and wish you the best in this future task.
I'm sure this will work out great for you and the blog. And maybe make you abel to travel to Norway to do some shots here?!
congratulations sart, you totally deserve it. Working on this for the past 2 years shows so much commitment and passion. I only hope that your newfound commercialism does not impede that passion, or restrict the enormous scope of style and beauty you showcase. I think that's what makes your site unique, the fact that it's not just glamourous model types, or partying fashionistas, and I sincerely hope this new path will only help you grow further.
Congratulations and thank you for a fantastic blog! I live in Cape Town - the bottom tip of Africa...your blog let's me see what's happening all over the world (well at least in the cool parts, where people dress well). Thank you for jazzing up my boring desk job and helping me justify spending my entire life on the internet (I'm a disgruntled web-designer) All the best!!
I'M SO HAPPY!
You are my daily contact with the coolest samples of street-style...I introduced to your blog and, above all, to your unique "eye" all my best friend.
Thanks again!
Sorry I am late, I was on holiday, but I cannot stand expressing my congratulation for these great opportunities you achived!
Go on Sart!
ps: I hope that with help of your new partners sometime you will visit Eastern-Europe capitals as well! Maybe you would be surprised!
Sart,
I agree with anon 2:13, a book seems like the natural extention of your work.
Now, a Sartorialist coffee table book, that's one I will get in line for.
Congratulations. Like so many before me have said, your work is pure INSPIRATION.
Kisses.
You deserve it!
COngratulations!! I'm totally hooked on the sart!!
Great work!! Congratulations of the news!!
I can't for what the future brings!!
Hearty congratulations Sart! You're an inspiration.
Congratulations! When you said you will be able to travel more, i couldn't help thinking you really should come to Helsinki sometimes, for example when visiting Stockholm as well. It's a small city, but individuality can be found more and more often. Especially at small clubs like La Perse etc. Shops like Daniel Palillo's Wunder, ivana Helsinki, Myymälä2 etc. make it possible to create so many different styles here as well!
Best of luck with all your future projects, if they are even half as successful as this website then that is a real triumph.
Hello, Sart! With love from Russia! It's really very kind of you to share your plans with all of us so we can feel that you need us as mush as we need an inspiration we get from your photoes! Thank you! Also it's very interesting to read Your notes below the pics to understand Your attitude and how You personally see this or that picture.
way to go sart!you don't have to be ashamed to grow in this project,a little more money and opportunities won't make it less personal and unique.You are an example to people like me who work in the fashion business but have to make it to the end of the month anyway!
congratulations. It's just great how u've worked things out on your terms. It must be lovely. looking fwd to seeing u india sometime or the other now!
So good news. So good to hear, you deserve it.
I am in love with your blog. Congratulations on the well-deserved opportunities!
CONGRATS!
sounds very exciting!
...where can i send my resume for the "help" position you spoke of??
Congratulations! You only got what you deserve. Am looking forward to spot you on the streets of Singapore!
congrats! your work is a joy. you deserve all of this and more!
dear Sart, try to go to Morocco for one of your "style" trips!
I went in June for a music festival and was just amazed by the beautiful looks the young guys and girls are able to put together. A mix of traditional + Italian labels + pretty hippy: very inspiring!
I went to Essaouira for the Gnawa festival, but I imagine everywhere 20something hang around will be good ...
CONGRATULATIONS !
This is fantastic and i am very happy for you and yes a book would be fantastic and what about the perfect satorialist smell/ perfume, you capture fantastic images and your words are very inspiring and delicately to the point, so go for the smell to go with this all.
L'oreal whenever you guys read this please act and go for it.
I still hope that we meet one day and that i can tell you in person how fond i am of your work and maybe maybe one day we can work together as well
ENJOY !
I am so haapy for you. You make me haapy every day, I whish you al the best.
awesome - congrats, Sart!!
Congratulations Scott, you've made a huge impact in the lives of real people and that really matters.
Not bad for doing what you enjoy.
Congratulations, you deserve the best, for me your blog is the best.
Best wishes.
OMG Congratulations!! Ive been with your blog from the start, I stumbled on it & check it religiously every single day. Im so happy for you!!!!!!!!
Yes, I hope to see pictures of Tokyo soon :-)
Congratulations! Hope to see you in Paris one of these days!
well done Sir, glad to see your ambition and hard work will pay off and let you expand. Eric, sweden
what a sellout
Dear Scott,
Great Great news and you deserve it all. Loved seeing you in Stockholm and who knows where next.
Kisses from Paris,
Diane
I LOVE the sartorialist :) Well Done, Great to know you might be coming to Asia. Come to Singapore!
yes. Business is required, even for art, so well done. I remember when WALLPAPER magazine was a tiny tiny independant and it sold too big too fast. I am cautiously optimistic that it's dulled eye and ad-bot features will not be your fate.
Congrats to you! :)
You deserve all this great success, wow this is so exciting! Saw your shoot with Stacey from UK Elle today, have been waiting for it to come out. Looking good!!
PS - I would certainly buy a Sartorialist book...
Congratulations! I absolutely love what you do.
Congrats! The ad stuff sounds very intriguing.
good for you sart!
congratulations!!! hope it all goes well!!
i might get an intership at condenet. MIGHT.
comment on the site: it would be great if you permalinked to a page which just the one photo. anchors are wacky cross-browser, and it's hard to send links to friends. thanks.
Congradulations!! You totally deserve it!
Congratulations! Richly deserved success -- you have an terrific eye and technical photography skills. I look forward to seeing more of your work. Please always alert us to where it appears (or complete online portfolio, perhaps?) so we can track it.
Congrats on your obviously careful approach to your 'expansion', too.
Congratulations! I cannot tell you how much it delights me to hear when dreams come true.
Congratulations!
You have earned all of your success. This rally is wonderful news.
Congratulations a million times over! So happy to hear the Sart-Empire is growing!
I've always wished for you to come shoot in Asia! I was even thinking of getting a camera myself to do it but, now I'll leave it to the pros for a bit - till I get a good camera. You must come to my city in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia! I wouldn't say it was the biggest fashion hub but it's fun to see how people dress up to their limits. There are Muslims here too who have a great sense of style!
Sart., please use some of that ad money to spend time here in Tokyo. I think the everyday level of men's fashion here will blow you away.
Congratulations -- I'm thrilled that these new developments will free you to focus on your photography. Look forward to more inspirational work from you.
Congratulations Sart! You love what you do and it shows in this fotos, and in everything you do.
You're inspiring and a muse in your own right. I wish you continued success in everything you do.
Beijinhos.
congratulations. great to see authentic creativity and flair rewarded.
Chuck Close! how wonderful.....
that is such a huge honor.
congrats
scott,
congratulations!. We met years ago at william Reid and TheSmiths. Keep up the good work!
Wow, congratulations on all 3 ventures. I wish you the best of luck and contiinued success!
hey, come to shoot in Moscow! :)
congratulations! i have really enjoyed your site since i discovered it over a year ago. i am constantly inspired and grateful for your contribution. continued success.
i just want to say congratulations on all of it! i've been checking out your photos here for a few months and am in love with the way you capture people, not just their clothes. very inspiring. i simply LOVE your style.
best to you.
After commenting once before, I had another thought... People who dresses with flair are almost presenting themselves as mobile works or art. Your subjects spend time on grooming and bear the expense of maintaining a stylish wardrobe, which they graciously exhibit to the public, at no charge. Until now, you have been a collaborator, contributing your camera skills on a pro bono publico basis. By accepting sponsors, you will be turning a profit on the freely-given artistic expression of others.
I am delighted that your hard work and excellent skills have earned you a job with top agency. You will now be fairly compensated for working with models who are also compensated and did not provide their own clothes. Congratulations! You deserve every penny!
Congrats!
ypu deserve all the best, good luck!
i've just discovered your blog through a fashionista friend and style.com. it's only been two months for me as a reader of your blog, and i'd like to say congratulations! to more!
any chance you'll come to malaysia?
Congratulations! I've really benefited from your eye and some of yr opining (I've even embraced mid-thigh shorts), so I'm glad to see you doing well.
Congratulations!!!
I love The Sartorialist so much so i hope your good jobs.
Take care of your health.
I'm looking forward to new stage of your job.
Everyone else pretty much said everything I could say, but I'll repeat it nonetheless.
Congratulations!! I'm happy to see the success your blog has had. You've shown that if you just do what you love with passion, without regard for any fame and accolades you may receive, you CAN be really successful. Finally best of luck with your new endeavors!!
I'll still be coming back.
P.S. one advice though: I know you have money now, but please dont ever redesign the blog!!! lol The simplicity is what makes it so great.
You have sold your soul.
I love to watch your pics and read your comments. What I love most about it is that you truly love style in all its different sizes, shapes and budgets... Your blog is an inspiration! I am glad you are starting to have ads, it's only normal since you keep so many people logged on everyday... And I am sure you won't let them spoil the essence of this blog. Very happy for. Looking forward to the development of your activities and hoping they reach Lisbon.
Congratulations!
I love Michael Thompson and everyone at JedRoot. You are in good company.
Ahhh, congrats mate. Upwards and onwards.
Do ya' thang. :)
Felicitations, dear Sart! You are a rare breed; someone of great talent and integrity plus genuine kindness. Wishing you all the best! We love you!
Hey somehow my congrats didn't make it up. Just wanted to make sure you know how happy I am for you!
Sart, should you ever consider a redesign of the site,
could you consider a separate pop-up window for the large versions of the photos? That way, one could read the comments side-by-side with the photo.
(I sort of cheat now by simultaneously running two windows for your site. It works, but requires a little juggling!)

I have been reading your blog since close to when it first started and even though i read and post as anonymous and you are a stranger to me, i feel very genuine and personal joy at your success. Congratulations! And thank you for the very definite and very positive influence you have had in my life.
Sart - congrats - this blog is such a treasure and
I am hoping for more pics from London from now on
You're beyond deserving. So good to see someone brilliant starting to get their dues.
Congratulations! Your blog is one of my biggest style inspirations - here's to the beautiful things you'll be able to do with your new partnerships!
Ah, well, I'm happy your skills are getting their due recognition, but... Conde? I mean, not that 98% of your street subjects don't look like runway models already, but I fear it'll only be exacerbated now. You're now an official relative of AW's.
Well, good luck to you. Hope you go to Buenos Aires soon, some serious stylish people down there.
Good things will happen to good people. It was no surprise, this blog is such an inspiration!
WOW! Chuck CLOSE! That is truly amazing, I work at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Madison,WI and we just had his show last summer and he is a great artist. I envy you (= CONGRATS
Great news Sart! Many many wishes for more success! You are a constant source of inspiration!
