Holden's List
The second Soybaby shot you have posted looks EXACTLY like something Kate O'Brien, aka eye candy for the broken hearted, would do. Mar 08 07 02:44 am Link . Mar 08 07 03:03 am Link okie. I was an agency shooter for quite a while, but stopped when they thought that my demand for at least a little money wasn't unrealistic. How do I separate the fetish in my portfolio from the excellent fashion/portfolio I've done. Mind you, mainstream folk are assholes and look for ways to rip you off. Should I have two portfolios?

Mar 08 07 08:03 am Link On Rafanan Rafanan, again young and early in his career, is at the exciting point in an artist's life where we begin to see a fight with the cleavage of the relationship between the taught and the unknown. His work posits that a constant state of joie de vivre, mere composition and craft/technique, is impossible in that in the absence of the sensory experience, the sensual experience of life and the ability to cognitively appreciate and remember these experiences, is lost. At times silly and maddening, the work is riddled with its own sexuality, becoming an envelope to a new age of post-trauma. Like inkhorn terms, wanting to be remembered and accepted and forgotten as teachers, the work is full of tension, anxiety, a sound of the orchestra tuning. Against calligraphy, a capture of how we begin to understand. Mar 08 07 11:42 am Link I don't know if that was serious or not. Good morning. Mar 08 07 11:51 am Link On Chauncey Not too long ago, there seemed to be a fair amount of debate about photographers and models partaking in what was called "Urban". We didn't even talk so much about glamour then, it was a question of "If I'm 5'5" and can't be a fashion model, I'll do urban!" to which inevitably came the response, "Urban don't pay." There was a tacit understanding that Urban work was heirarchically subaltern to Fashion--without, it ought to be stressed, any overlap, which is a silly presumption, of course--to where women of color, hips larger than 35", and breasts were cast. Chauncey's work is Urban. A definition of the term, actually. While there has always existed in art a vague idea of what is "good photography" and "bad photography" having much to do with concept, some definition of commodity production v. artistic process. What is truly glorious about Urban work, particularly Chauncey's direction, is that is creates an erasure of the notion that the ephemeral competes with the classic, that there is a difference between vernacular and the law. Much like graffiti and its opposite (photography), the work both adds to and takes from its environs, momentous and challenging the original. As to an earlier question about what constitutes a "real diptych"--my only assertion earlier was that it was not just throwing two pictures together--I commend the viewer to pay attention to the circles. It's a fine balance, without eschewing the requisite tension, where we go from left to right, Camera One to Camera Two. Mar 08 07 12:03 pm Link Aaron S wrote: Excellent, then. Good morning Aaron.

The second you pulled a 180 on your "I wouldn't want to be a mod" belief, you became much more than the messenger. You became arbiter elegantiarum.....judge, jury, magistrate, queen, oligarch, and one of the powers that be. Mar 08 07 03:04 pm Link K. Holden wrote: I don't even know. Remember, I'm a futurist.

Holden wrote: We went up to the three snorting machines to caress their breasts. I lay along mine like a corpse on its bier, but I suddenly revived again beneath the steering wheel - a guillotine knife - which threatened my stomach. A great sweep of madness brought us sharply back to ourselves and drove us through the streets, steep and deep, like dried up torrents. Here and there unhappy lamps in the windows taught us to despise our mathematical eyes. `Smell,' I exclaimed, `smell is good enough for wild beasts!' Mar 08 07 03:10 pm Link |
