From athletes to movie stars, South's pages have been filled with some of the world’s most interesting folks. There seems to be an interesting trait that most of these people seem to have. It's hard to put a finger on it, but it's best described--and often is--as star power, a confidence and magnetism that few possess. This makes them unique and Frankie Brooks, photographer Dan Winters & publisher, fascinating, so it's always fun to get to know them Michael Brooks at Telfair Museums’ Jepson Center. DAn's work is on display through november 11. a little. A big part of this power must certainly be their drive. They seem to have an extra gear. I guess it's because they're doing what they love, a profession that they're truly passionate about. If you've been lucky enough to find such a career, you know that it's not only enjoyable, but it fuels your desire to be the best at it that you can be. Just think about all those late nights and weekends, when others were “enjoying” time off, spent perfecting your craft. Which brings us to Dan Winters. This issue’s editorial features photographs of many of Hollywood’s A-list celebrities. His work is so powerful that it has led to his very own celebrity status. He also scores points with us for having a house here in Tybee, Georgia, where he loves to spend time with his family. See his feature on page 66. Dan also reminds us that there are "celebrities" in every profession, most who the average person will never come to know. And though they may not be professional athletes, rock stars, or big-draw actors, they still possess a similar quality. I know because I've gotten to know many clients, employees, freelancers and editorial subjects who have that same drive, that same rare magnetism—that spark that we all aspire to have. But here's the thing I've come to believe: we all have the ability to have that spark. It's just a matter of finding what you love and deciding to put in what it takes to get it, to decide to not settle for less. This issue is full of people that have made that decision and are sharing their stories. Their message is remarkably similar: Find your love. And find your star power. And if you've done the same, we'd love to hear your story. Hit us up at southmagazine.com or at our Facebook page. We'd love to get to know you a little, too. T H IS R A R EFI ED STAT US .
Many thanks and keep reading,
Michael Brooks Publisher/Creative Director

Miss Georgia 2010 and reporter Cassady Lance was up for anything, and lent her talent for the shoot. "I wanted to incorporate food in an unconventional way for the cover," South art director Sara D'Eugenio says. "Combining the sustainability of the farms featured in the issue and the beauty of fashion in the dress created a fall feeling."

ost known for capturing subjects including celebrities, political figures, shuttle launches and slice-of-life characters, Dan Winters stepped in front of the camera for this exclusive portrait on the cover. The photo showcases his signature minimalist style and lighting, and only hints at the striking photography Winters has on display at the Telfair Museums' Jepson Center until November 11. The show there, Dan Winters's America: Icons and Ingenuity, features a range of his work including media that some may find unexpected. Winters also has close ties to the Savannah area—his family has been making memories at a house on Tybee Island for about 14 years. The second home is "one of the greatest gifts we ever gave to ourselves," Winters says.
