ROUND-UP

Friday, September 3rd, 2010


Why do we all love a show that, in so many ways, is getting away with totally sexist crap? Calling women “hyenas” and “hippos” is not cool in our day to day lives, but when the Situation does it, somehow it gets excused? [Jezebel]

Maybe it’s not okay to resurrect the spirit and breasts of Princess Di to sell lingerie? Or maybe, it’s a brilliant way to get some negative press? [Telegraph]

Imagine your brain ate a giant piece of bubble gum and then traveled to outer space in a blanket made of your worst nightmare and furry faces. Eric Sandberg makes art. [Mob Living]

Ryan Keely talks and it’s interesting. [Street Carnage]

God it sucks being poor, but we forgot how great this site is for day dreaming and home decor inspiration. [The Selby]

Aram Bedrossian. Weird name, beautiful photos. [Touch Puppet]

Could we love you anymore C. Love? Seriously #90s #”Seattlemadeyou,bitch” #Nardwuar [Slut Meets Whore is Back]

Makes No Difference

Tuesday, July 6th, 2010

Photo by Zyanna O’Connell that will appear in Makes No Difference.

Zyanna O’Connell first started taking photos when she was only 6 years old. She would head to summer camp with rolls and rolls of film and “would cost [her] mother lots of money developing them,” Zyanna says. So from a young age she has been documenting her life, but it wasn’t until later that she realized she might be able to do more with it. Zyanna had her first solo exhibition when she was 20 years-old, later this year she will be publishing her own book through CONTINUE DE CREUSER and she has organized a photo show called Makes No Difference opening this Saturday.

The idea behind Makes No Difference, is to showcase young female photographers and artists with talent (and we happen to be sponsoring it). All the ladies in the show, are friends through each other, but everyone in the show has a different style and enjoys different subject matter so you can expect a selection of skateboards, boobs, nature and portraits, basically “some really awesome stuff you will want hang on your walls,” Zyanna says.

Makes No Difference will feature work from Michelle Ford, Alexis Gross, Laura-Lynn Petrick and Mimmi-Johanna Torell and Zyanna O’Connell. We caught up with Zyanna to talk about her craft and the upcoming show. Check it out below.

Makes No Difference
Opening July 10, 7-11pm. Show should be up for about a week.
The Baitshop, 358 Dufferin Street, Suite 117 Toronto, Ontario.

FINALLY BELLA!

Friday, April 16th, 2010

Considering the magazines her beautiful photographs have been published in and the clients she has worked for, it’s a wonder why Bella Howard just got her website up and running now. Needless to say, the site is amazing and full of her best work.

Bella–who used to publish the highly popular zine, Planet Bella–is a 23-year-old fashion photographer who lives in London. She has worked for Dazed and Confused, Nylon, Elle, Vice, Spin, Pig, New York Times, i-D…the list goes on. Her website is finally up, and all eyes are on her dot com.

Check it out here. More pictures from Bella below.

POST-LOS ANGELES

Tuesday, April 13th, 2010

The concept for L.A. Based photographer, Matt Logue’s new book came when he was driving home in freeway traffic. Titled, “Empty L.A.” the photos depict usually sunny and suffocating L.A, as a nearly post-apocalyptic city–lifeless as an empty swimming pool. For this reason, it took him four years to perfect the process of creating “people-free” images. “While seeing each image gradually emerge, I would experience a surprisingly intense feeling of what I can only describe as relief, finally getting to see the empty freeways and downtown,” Logue told Science Fictional.

“I think there’s an underlying sense of hopelessness in many people about what we as a species have done and are doing to the planet, and underneath that, a feeling of guilt. We’re so entrenched in our way of life that it feels impossible to do what needs to be done in time to keep massive climate change from happening, and seeing the world emptied of people, if only for a few minutes in a series of photographs, gives us a respite from that.”

JOHNNY’S BIRD

Tuesday, January 19th, 2010

With a style reminiscent of the almighty Terry Richardson and adding hints of Bella Howard, fashion photographer, Moni Haworth is managing to make her own way by paying attention to the little details. You know life’s special secrets like a weird piercing, abandoned note or charmingly blemished cheeks. We stumbled across her site, Johnny’s Bird, the other day and have fallen head over six-inch clear heels for her seedy sharp images. If you google Moni’s name, you will see a few of her editorials at Platform, some random model forums and a slew of blogger’s furiously re-posting her work. Here are some select photos from her series, “Strip n Rock.”

Check out her work here.

TERRY’S DIARY

Wednesday, January 13th, 2010

terry richardson terrys diary

Like everyone else on the planet, Terry Richardson has started a blog: TerrysDiary. The blog, which is only 7 pages old, features what appear to be cellphone and point-and-shoot snaps of notable moments in Terry’s everyday life. However, unlike most people, this photo diary is littered with extended-arm-hug-shots with models, Jon Bon Jovi, Lindsay Lohan and Marc Jacobs. Categorizing his fame and adventures into Terry, Diary, People, Models, Random and TShirt of the Week, the blog serves as a pleasant reminder of the sky-high cultural credibility of this 45 year-old hipster.
