Fraction Magazine was started in a little coffee shop in Albuquerque, New Mexico in March of 2008 by Joshua Spees and David Bram. In 2009, Josh got married, moved to the East Coast, and is now pursuing other photographic avenues.
Today, Fraction Magazine is edited and curated by David, and often includes guest curators and writers such as Melanie McWhorter, Mary Goodwin and Larissa Leclair.
