Everything That Happens Will Happen Today

Posted on 23:23 by election
From the Guardian:"As a foreigner in New York," Eno explained, "I was surprised by how little attention Americans paid to their own great indigenous musical invention: gospel. It was even slightly uncool - as though the endorsement of the music entailed endorsing all the religious framework associated with it. To me gospel was a music of surrender, and the surrendering rather than the worshipp...

And Now, a Word from Our Sponsors

Posted on 17:57 by election
WhoresI am not naive. I live smack dab in the middle of our mass consumer culture and know that every object, institution, idea and tradition carries at minimum a small stain of commercialism. This modern fact of life causes minor tremors of nausea when I ponder the specifics in detail, so mostly I avert my eyes and hum to myself. However, every once in a while there is a cataclysmic lowering...

Of Killer Rabbits and Fireworks

Posted on 19:21 by election
Over the past four weeks I have been aggressively focused on making new images for Domesticated. This typically involves weekday trips to Matamoras with my intern, Olga, to scout locations and work out the details and then a return trip on the weekend to shoot. The journey to Matamoras is about 200 miles round trip and on a summer weekend it can take upwards of two hours to get out there. ...

I've Been Hijacked

Posted on 16:50 by election
I just received two copies of the wonderful new photo book, Hijacked Volume One: Australia and America. The book was edited by Mark McPherson & Max Pam and is an excellent survey of emerging photographers in Australia and America. They were kind enough to include eight of my photos over twelve pages in the book. Also included are friends Jon Gitelson, Lisa Kereszi, Bill Sullivan, Shen Wei,...

Not MySpace Anymore

Posted on 21:05 by election
I just watched NAS perform "Sly Fox" on the Colbert Report and it immediately struck me that every time I visit or promote MySpace I am supporting News Corp, Fox News, The New York Post and the whole Rupert Murdoch evil empire. Screw that! I am done with MySpace. Just pulled the plug. And if you are sick of Fox News and their "fair and balanced" propaganda pap you should cancel your account...

He Would Look Good Above the Couch

Posted on 15:33 by election
Amani © Jon FeinsteinOn Thursday I went to the opening of the I'll Be Your Mirror...So You Can Break Into Endless Shards group exhibition at Heist Gallery. No air-conditioning plus a steady stream of hipsters usually equals bad news in my book, but I was hanging with Amani Olu, Tim Briner, Geoff Ellis, Greg Wasserstom and Ali Malone, so the evening turned out to be a blast. We were on the...

What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

Posted on 16:44 by election
From National Geographic News:Bees Enlisted to Attack Crows in TokyoConservationists hope bees will repel the crows, based on the insects' tendency to attack anything dark-colored that approaches their hives.This year beehives from rural areas were relocated to the top of a large water-treatment facility near Tokyo's international airport, where as many as 4,000 birds known as little terns nest...

But The Good News Is...

Posted on 09:24 by election
From The Pod People series © Peter SnyderThe bad news is that for globe trekking foreign fighters Pakistan is the new Iraq (which was the old Afghanistan), the Senate just sold out your privacy and chicken tastes better with money. But the good news is...You can still see lots of great work from the 2008 Review Santa Fe participants at Flak Photo. Highlights so far include work by Peter Snyder...

Light Rail Coyote

Posted on 18:17 by election
Inspiration rarely lands fully formed in my lap ready to party. Sometimes inspiration comes in fevered flashes of random images as I sleep; most of the time it comes in a slow march of real world dots and dabs that eventually add up to something grand. For Domesticated some of those dots came from the now defunct band Sleater-Kinney. Sleater-Kinney's exploration of the tense space between...
