Yikes!

My buddy Euthanasia Design made me into a zombie.
I love it!

Matthew Scott

Some really good images from the project Book of Matthew.
I also like the concept of Last Call...

Peter Beste

I found Peter Beste through the Upper Playground book Backyard Shakedown.
Check out the projects Houston Rap Culture and True Norwegian Black Metal.
While image quality is not the best, there are some really powerful images on his website.

Lars Tunbjork

A couple days ago, I showed a postcard by Lars Tunbjork. He is a Swedish born photographer shooting lot of social documentary. I really like the humor within his photographs.

More images found here.

Meet my Dad

They call him Pete.

Mona Kuhn

Mona Kuhn is a photographer born in Brazil but of German decent. She went to college at Ohio State and now lives in Los Angeles. Her monograph Evidence was photographed at a French nudist colony that she stays at every summer. The photographs from this project are amazing. They not only are delicate, soft and beautiful, they are powerful. You can feel the connection Kuhn has with her subjects. They are all perfectly at ease, completely nude.

Postcards

Mike Hernandez sent me this postcard from an Annie Leibowitz show at the Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco. That black smear is blood from a child getting hit by a car. Crazy.

The show runs through May 25th. I hope I can make it.

Postcards

I picked up this postcard on my visit to Needles and Pens in San Francisco a few weeks ago.
This card was a promo for a show called Green River that Nick Meyer is having at the Iceberger Gallery. It is running through May 4th.

35 DAYS!

ohhhh man, coming up quick.
Before I know it, I'll be gone before I left.
Lets hang...

If I was you...

Tonight, Los Angeles!
I'd go. But work+life aren't letting me.Let me know how it goes.

I wish...

I wish Morten Anderson had a website or a better venue for me to look at his work. I did find this and this, but that was about it. Someone buy me his book!

Postcards

Whenever I take a trip I like to collect a postcard or two. I can usually find them in gallery or book store. I will be posting some that are in my collection as well as ones I will get in the future.
But, even better than buying them, is getting a postcard in the mail. Occasionally I get one from the friend who has been to a good place. Lets be snail mail pals.

Skara Summerland, Amusment Park, Sweden, 1989
Photograph by Lars Tunbjork

I bought this at the Photo Eye store when I was in Santa Fe, New Mexico last year.

MegaBus!

I'm going up to San Francisco and I found the cheapest way to do it. $35 bucks!

East Coast kids don't worry, they have service from NYC to Buffalo, Washington DC, Boston and a couple other places. If you book a trip in advance (I'm talking months) you can save a good amount of dough.

Ralph Eugene Meatyard

Really cool stuff. Too bad there isn't more online. Here and here.
And sadly he passed away in the 70s. It would have been great to see how he matured.

The Pause to Begin dudes

Most everyone knows about the Pause to Begin project. I stumbled upon Ethan Aaro Jones and David Wright from the RIT alumni website. I really like both of their work. Ethan's Fish Story project is my favorite while David Wright's Utah is very beautiful. Keep it up guys!

Thanks Justin!

SF MOMA

This past weekend I was in San Francisco and stopped by the SF MOMA for the Lee Friedlander exhibit. It was really intense with 400+ photographs. The photos were grouped by time period and it was interesting to see Friedlander maturing as you walked through the exhibit. I only wish there were more than a handful of color photographs. It was well worth the $7. Runs through May 18th.
