History
Chief Magazine was founded by A.P. Smith on September 11, 2006. For the second issue, Smith partnered with Ed Zipco to run the project. Zipco and Smith originally became friends while attending the Pratt Institute of Art and Design. Smith went on to work for COLORS Magazine while Zipco went to work for Vice, until the two decided to launch their own independent magazine in 2006. Nick Chatfield-Taylor, whose former projects include the film B.I.K.E. and directing Matt & Kim's 'Yea Yea' music video, joined on as Photo Editor in mid-2007 and was promoted to Junior Editor in early 2008. Jacqueline Lewis, former writer of Gawker's now defunct "Bloghorrea NYC" column, became Managing Editor of Chief in 2007.
In 2009, Zipco, Lewis and Smith ended Chief Magazine and went on to work on other projects.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Jesus Christ belonged to the true race of the prophets. He saw with an open eye the mystery of the soul. Drawn by its severe harmony, ravished with its beauty, he lived in it, and had his being there. Alone in all history he estimated the greatness of man.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“For a transitory enchanted moment man must have held his breath in the presence of this continent, compelled into an aesthetic contemplation he neither understood nor desired, face to face for the last time in history with something commensurate to his capacity for wonder.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
“If man is reduced to being nothing but a character in history, he has no other choice but to subside into the sound and fury of a completely irrational history or to endow history with the form of human reason.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
