When Elvis was King and Albums were Square

Elvis Presley was born on this day in 1935. Two decades later, he would help shape a new world and a new style of music.

Yesterday we learned that the first image was transmitted to 25 cities "across the wire." This was the world that Elvis Presley knew. Just as you were born into a digital world, Elvis was born into a world that was changing.

His first album (and album cover) influenced music across the world. Twenty five years later, The Clash would release London Calling using Elvis Presley's debut album as inspiration for their cover.) Elvis was (and is) King.

What shape is an album cover?

What shape are most Instagram photos?

Let the King influence your work today. Go shoot a photo that can be squared. Title your blog post "Squre." Post one square photo. That's it.
