So as my 4 or 5 regular readers may have noticed there’s been a lack of posting of late.  Between post-holiday syndrome and whatever else (laziness, 24 and LOST) I’ve been delinquent and I apologise.
There’s been so much doom and gloom every day and obviously our industry has been directly affected.  Domino Magazine closed last […]

So I’ve been horrid on my posting but here are some things to see that you may or may not have heard of…
TOYING WITH REALITY
This show occurred before the holidays so apologies to Martin Glenn, but he had a successful one night show in the East Village.

His work can be viewed and purchased at Moon […]

Is now with these guys.
(No, I don’t mean our new president.)
 

I subscribe to Creativity, which most of you might know is AdAge’s great monthly magazine covering all things related to art direction, design, production and interactive in the advertising business.
Recently, Creativity had an article on how producers build great directors.

The producers, directors and production co’s they asked are a who’s who of the business, from Radical Media […]

I was dropped a line not too long ago by one Jesse Miller, who recently started the photography agency Tinker Street and acts as agent and producer.  We exchanged a number of interesting emails before I realised I hadn’t conducted a Dialogue in long while..so here was the perfect chance.

I decided to venture onto the new LIFE Photo Archive, hosted by Google, to have a look around. So far about 2 million of the 10 million images in the archive have been uploaded…and soon they will all be available.  What an amazing treasure trove of images!
So of course I typed in “Thanksgiving” and here […]

While we are not an ad agency nor a magazine, we get our share of portfolio drop-offs (though unlike many agencies and magazines, we do not have a drop-off day…these are largely unsolicited.)
I try to look at as many as I can and when I do, I try to leave a note of some sort so […]

Uber-stylist Melanie Ward is now with the Collective Shift.

Was dropped a line by photographer J Wesley Brown recently about a new blog that he has recently launched.
Manifesto:

Some upcoming things…first up, Norman Jean Roy takes a departure from the pages of Vanity Fair…

A MILK GALLERY PROJECT is pleased to present Traffik, a solo exhibition by photographer, Norman Jean Roy.  The show is open to the public at MILK Gallery, 450 W. 15th Street, New York, NY 10011.

In case you somehow haven’t heard…William Eggleston is having his first retrospective in the United States at the Whitney (November 7th to January 25th)/
The man has come a long way from how his first show at the MOMA was viewed, back in 1976, which was described by one observer as “perfectly banal, perfectly boring”.
Reviews at New […]

 
So, before we start getting even more media coverage of the new President-Elect…from PDN Pulse, the 5 photographs that helped Obama the most.
