I love watching how other photographers work. Here’s a video of Geoffrey H. Short at work on a series of explosion pictures. I came across his work when he was included in the reGeneration 2 show (the Aperture catalog is available for sale). One of Short’s pictures would look great on a wall across from [...]
Talent to Burn

Amelia Bauer is kicking my ass. I came across her photo work but her found wood sculptures are even more compelling. Check out the veneer work on this piece: In an interview for the Cairo Blog she states: “One of the most consistent themes in the decorative arts (and to me the most compelling) is [...]
Sunday Afternoon Pick-Me-Up
Dec 12, ’10
5:43 PM
This (NSFW) video for El Guincho’s track Bombay has got a million lo-fi tricks up it’s visual sleeve and is a perfect pick-me-up for this late Sunday afternoon’s winter “white skies / coffee cups /strewn newspaper /photo editing / trying to decide which documentary to watch on Netflix ” kinda vibe. If you want a [...]

Still feeling the slap of winter after returning from Miami, FL and Tulum, Mexico. I’m getting the weekend started right by singing along with The Walker Brothers:

There is a John Cohen photo hanging on the door to my local supermarket! It’s a flyer for The Dust Busters, a band that he collaborates with, but finding it amongst the fruits and vegetables was a rather shocking place to see such an esteemed photographer’s work. Here’s a link to Yasha Aginsky‘s 2009 documentary [...]

4:07 PM
I’m diggin’ this airplane shot from the Nathan Harger show which opens tomorrow (Dec 9 – Jan 29) at Hasted Kraeutler. The images are high contrast black and white, mostly architectural details, and prove you don’t have to go far from home as it looks like they were shot within a 10 mile radius from [...]
Anndra Neen Sisters

A new pic of jewelry makers Phoebe and Annette Stephens, of Anndra Neen, for the Ladies of Castor & Pollux. I was 30 minutes early so happily found this park a couple blocks away while checking out their neighborhood. While Fall may just be NYC’s finest season (I love some hazy yellow light) I am [...]
On the Road Jack

11:55 PM
I’ve been traveling a bit these past few late-fall/early-winter weeks. DC, West Virginia, Miami and Tulum. Miami was work, DC/WVA was family and Tulum was vacation (although I managed to score some work in Tulum in January so I’ll be headed back when NYC is at it’s most, um, challenging weather-wise… I just high-fived myself).
