    even better

    graduate school photography departments...don't even get me started on that "my daddy just bought me a new hasselblad for graduation" steeze. or better yet the classic chick who just gets drunk and takes random instant cam picks at parties a couple days before crit (there's at least one in every dept).

    what's really surprising is how a court of law hasn't charged him with ripping off terry richardson wholesale - from the photos to the moustache.

    i do not know of the picture takers that you all speak of which either makes me cooler than cool or lamer than lame.





    well, i have heard of cobrasnake but that's only cuz it's always featured in the free publication here in LA. anyways, let me reiterate that i am cooler than cool.

    Just read that article in full...never been in one of their shops & haven't paid all that much attention to their ads. That guy looks wacked out. My students say they make overpriced doo doo. Is this a fair evaluation?

    I'm undecided by her stuff, more into the concept than the actual image...but even the concept is a little too esoteric. Not sure if her photos can be appreciated unless you get the context/reference.

    I like how she's both the subject/object and the viewer. I think she's a total badass.

    I haven't seen much of the new stuff. But I've always been kind of scared of clowns and wooden legs.

    wow. taking into account the amount of hipster bashing around here, you all sure do pay a lot of attention to what is hip. i mean, me, i dont like it so i dont really seek it out. of course, it's hard to avoid here in la, but still. i am just saying.

    anyways, so what if dude get's all freaky with his coworkers. i mean, i buy tshirts made by 6 year old bangladeshi kids cuz that's all i can afford. props to that weird moustachio dude for even making attempts at sweat shop free clothing. and NO, ive never been inside that joint. but they look all swanky from the window looking in.

    in other news, i saw some skinny hipster kid get the shit kicked out of him by some bouncer dude. that was amusing.

    a. Just because they use some freak ad campaign doesn't mean every woman working for the company should expect to sexually harrassed. C'mon, that is the classic "She asked for it" excuse.

    b. I was a graduate photography student so screw all y'all! but seriously VICE's staff of pseudo-fashion photogs can go fuck themselves and their pretentious overrated asses. Color me not impressed. Taking pictures of strung out junkies doing coke off each other's asses is SO 1980's Nan Goldin. I'd rather check for some Thomas Kincaid- the painter of light!

    i wonder if its just me but i think i've come to the conclusion that photography is the most pretentious and consistently overrated "artform" on the planet.


    More overrated than DJing?

    I saw a Nan Goldin show in Montreal. She had a slide show of her various white trash images. Very Good stuff. It was accompanied by Eartha Kitt's rendition of "All By Myself". Bangin. That version is from a tv movie and I cant find a copy of that shit.

    Yea - I saw it in NYC - pretty heart-wrenching and beautiful. Try one of the galleries that rep her - you might be able to get it through them.

    Charney-not directly, I manage one of the retail stores. Thankfully, he doesnt come around here cause none of the girls here will go down on him. Serious. I never thought I would be tired of looking at ass and titties. This job has killed a little part of me.

    Seems like killing the part of you that likes to look at A&T would be grounds for a lawsuit.

    Seriously, I've wondered how Hooters and companys like AA get away with putting their employees into such a sexually charged atmospher. If a fire station, or construtcion site can not be a sexually charged work place, than how can these guys get away with it?

    Airlines have long stopped baseing employment on age and sex and appearence.

    I don't think I've heard of American Apearal before, but I might have gotten a catalog a few years ago that I thought was dangerously close to child porn.
