Detestingly Beautiful War / Photography Exhibit
With incredible depth and a staggering amount of content, the exhibiton entitled ‘War / Photography:: Images of Armed Conflict and Its Aftermath‘ will test you. Originally put together in Houston’s Museum of Fine Arts, the exhibition will be traveling nationally – first to the Anneberg Space for Photograph in Los Angeles, and then on to D.C. and Brooklyn. Here is a synopsis from the site (link above): “WAR/PHOTOGRAPHY encompasses over 150 images going as far back as 1887 through present-day […]

CHINESE Conundrum.
Confuscious once quipped: “A man who runs in front of a car gets tired, A man who runs behind a car gets exhausted.” It seems like he knew what a negative effect automobiles were to have on his fellow countrymen down the line (WWCD?). Now-a-days China has become a juggernaut & is gagging on its own growth. Influenced by pop-American lifestyles, Chinese now practice gown and tux marriages, eat fast food, smoke cigarettes, and drive cars in ever-increasing numbers. Emulating […]

Gerald Ford vs Pele.
Skimmin through AnotherMag’s site, I came upon this classic photo of Gerald Ford hanging out with an incredibly suave lookin Pele. With impeccable soccer form, Gerald Ford shows how much grace the average American had back in the day – not too mention fashion sense. This photo then also helped to recall a very humorous SNL sketch of Dana Carvey impersonating Tom Brokaw and discussing plausible causes of death for Gerald Ford (he was delicious).

International Photographs to Contemplate on Your Sunday.
Rounded up from the past 10 days of New York Times LENS photojournalism happenings, here are some modern events worth contemplating. Probably my favorite is the Vatican’s dinky chimney – one would think that with the seemingly standard opulence of the church city would carry over to the signaling device for the new pontiff? MULLLL

Ridiculously Outrageous Fashion IDIOCY
While we’re on the topic of ‘Tight Pants’ and fashion hilarity, we should view some of modern day’s high fashion and consider how outrageous it is. There are few things more evil in this world than high fashion, Dick Cheney being one of them. Maybe at some point I’ll attempt a simple Photoshop job with Dick Cheney in some of this high fashion garb (maybe the smiling picture Eric gave me ;} ). FASHION BASHIN’ !!

AWESOME / Experimental Documentary Entitled “Leviathan”
“Exploring the space between art film and documentary,” ‘Leviathan’ is a highly innovative survey of life on a ground-fish trawler off the coast of Massachusetts. Originally learning about this project through the New York Times homepage, further investigation only caused greater intrigue. The film is a product of Harvard’s “Sensory Ethnography” department, and is just flat out awe-inspiring. The cinematographic execution is extremely original, and stands as testament to the incredible versatility and vantage-possibilities that the GoPro, and other similar […]

What’s Goin’ On? This week’s World in Pictures.
It’s quite a blantantly obvious statement to make, but: the variety of events that occur on this planet in a given week is mind-blowing. From quitters leaving decadent religious cities, to people surviving in humble mud structures – from the intertwining technicolor smoke trails of air-shows to air-strikes that turn buildings into rubble – the Earth’s happenings are staggering in their complexity and volume. Here’s the latest collection of favorites from the past week from LENS. PONDER PERSPECTIVE. Thanks to […]
