Editor in Chief of New England Home magazine, Jenna Talbott, stopped by the Boiler Room for a conversation and to sign our copies of It’s Lonely in the Modern World: The Essential Guide to Form, Function and Ennui, a book she co-authored with writer Molly Jane Quinn. Published in 2011, their book expanded on their now infamous Tumblr, Unhappy Hipsters, that struck such a nerve that within hours of the first post TheNew York Times took notice and made it viral. Quickly, they had a book deal on their hands. And this all started with them making up their own “imagined and irreverent” captions to the gorgeous photos in Dwell magazine.

Over the years photographer Greg Premru has shot many of our finished projects. Having him in the Boiler Room allowed us to get to know his origin story as a photographer. It was also a look back to the time of film-based architectural shoots, where it could easily take over thirty minutes of prep work to line up one shot.
