Natural Disaster as Visual Metaphor
Posted on 18:22 by election
On Gallery Hopper, Todd Walker points to an award winning anti-smoking campaign that uses Robert Polidari's Katrina photos to make a visual metaphor to the body of a smoker. As Todd mentions, the whole idea of tragedy as art is off-putting to begin with, but this campaign takes it down a rung on the good taste-ladder.The effectiveness of this campaign relies on the target audiences' lack of...

Hola from Madrid
Posted on 03:28 by election
We just got to Madrid yesterday morning and hit the ground running with photo openings and delicious wines and cheeses. Most of the time when travel I suffer from serious jetlag that throws me off for most of the trip. This time I decided to take some Ambien to get my clock right, right off the bat. Voila! It´s like my husband says, America is great at two things these days: making bombs to...
