Some overdue links from the past few weeks…

(Hybrids by Klaus Thymann)

An important post at Popphoto on a New York Times article covering the Dead Celebrity Law, and how it affects image rights and celebrities in California

Oliviero Toscani, still controversial, interview in Time

VII Agency joins the growing photography community in Dumbo (and recently welcomed two new members)

Via Serif, an amazing retoucher’s amazing site…showing his workflow

And Klaus Thymann has a new book out..The Hybrids Project. You might have attended the launch party in New York two weeks back. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Klaus and it’s always great when successful commercial photographers take the time to pursue personal projects

140 Years of Harper’s Bazaar. The Avedon and Brodovitch years are especially memorable

Continuing my semi-obsession with Karl Lagerfeld…an interview on Charlie Rose via The Business of Fashion and an interview with Randolphe Marconi over at On The Runway whose documentary Lagerfeld Confidential recently came out at the Film Forum. Great viewing!

The economics of running a magazine, in light of the recent and sad shuttering of House & Garden’s doors.  I would love to see an analysis of this for something like Dazed & Confused or Purple or POP…

A new photo editor at Men’s Vogue… 

and lastly it seems there’s another anonymous blog, The Imagist out there, this time a model agent?  Though this blog is more concerned with art and fashion from an inspirational and culturally relevant point of view…
