Found in the Mail : Steven Harrington Arkitip No. 0052
I cherish my Steven Harrington issue of Arkitip. These publications are a work of art in themselves. My signed copy came with a bookmark and a scarf. I love it.

Dorophy Tang
Dorophy Tang's Diana+ Lomo camera has been starred in my Google Reader since August. But I just discovered more of her work which is equally cool.
Tang is a Chinese designer/illustrator who uses imagery from Ming Dynasty ceramics and the babies from Chinese New Year posters, to create work with companies like Lomo, Addidas and Epson.

My New Favorite Time Waster
Poladroid: An application that makes your photos look like Polaroids. Easy and fun. It does not, however, reconcile the sad news from earlier this year that Polaroid will stop making instant film in 2008/2009. Visit Save Polaroid Film to "take action".
a beautifuly memorizing short film (infomercial) from the 70's, created by Charles and Ray Eames, explaining the SX-70
Oh, and uh, any guesses who the above photo above was taken with? (hint: he does not have petite feet.)
Five New Favorites: Photography
I would include Sally Mann, but I'm worried I look too much like a perv already - coupling this with the HSM post.

Cindy Of A Thousand Lives
I really like the photographer Julia Galdo.
She's like the love child of Cindy Sherman and Nan Goldin on Prozac. The gender politics message is more subtle and everything is just a little sweeter, cleaner, crisper. Her series of self portraits are unapologetically influenced by Cindy Sherman's untitled film stills, but the "protagonists" aren't symbolic cliches, just Julia in compelling costumes/surroundings. Her low shutter speed(?) /natural light images of seedy motel rooms and stubbly drunk guys have an order to them, and unlike Nan Goldin's work, there's actually something sort of soothing and inviting about them. And her commercial work is just simply really great.
What I love about this day and age is that you can go to her fancy website, and then you can go look at her real life flickr page. Because apparently she's got to rub it in by being a great artist and having an amazing flat on Haight St.
p.s. As much as I love Cindy Sherman, I still regret the day I walked in to metro pictures gallery and saw this series. It still haunts me. Not in a good way. ugh. shutter shutter gag. Here's a nice link to wash those horrific clown images away.
