Flickr is still screwed up, but I managed to log in using Opera. Still frustrating, since I’m writing this post in ScribeFire, which is in Firefox. But doable. My last day (for a while, at least) of posting daily pictures from PhotosNormandie. I’m back in school full time as of yesterday, and I’m also [...] Having a weird Flickr problem so I’m not posting any photos from PhotosNormandie today, unless I manage to fix it, or at least get less frustrated with it. It appears to be some kind of cookie related crisis, possibly caused by the fact that I access both my Flickr account and the Angels Gate [...] My dear, continent and ocean away, friend, Allyson Shaw is really raking in the wealth of British culture. There seems to be no end of major museums with crazy collections over there – I’m seriously jealous. The above, seen in the Museum of the History of Science at Oxford, is the iron fist [...] I haven’t been out to see it yet, but Will Campbell, LA’s seemingly everywhere cyclist, has an awesome photoset on Flickr of Chris Burden’s Urban Light installation at LACMA. I like the pictures I’m seeing of it, and I have a feeling I’m going to like it more when I see it, and [...] Upon finding the above in the PhotosNormandie stream, I really had no idea how to characterize it, only that it’s stupid, funny and sad. The people in this photo are from both the British military and the American military. The caricatures on the bomb were drawn by Tex Avery. It has a long [...] Today, Thursday, February 7Charles Gatewood, Wall Street & Other Pictures @ Robert Tat Gallery in San Francisco. I came of age “highly inspired” by the fetish photography of Robert Gatewood. I probably won’t be back up in the city until this show is over, but you may be. I’ve never seen any of his [...] I think I’m going to keep posting images from PhotosNormandie through the weekend. I just keep finding so much good stuff, again, in threes. Above – The icon of the enemy. Shattered, like Hitler’s dream of dominion over Europe. PhotosNormandie caption - Un soldat décroche un portrait lacéré de Hitler. Above – [...] I know, I know. I’m a pathetic shill. But trust me – for every Getty related post I do, there are a dozen things they’re doing that I don’t write about. Got the E-mail today. The Getty has acquired Irving Penn’s master set of prints from his series, The Small Trades. It’s almost [...] Trevor Paglen is an artist who’s work I keep thinking about – it’s right there at the boundary of art, research and journalism, a dicey area that just show how far we are from the “are you a sculptor or painter?” mainstream of art practice. I’m most attracted to his Code Names piece, [...] More from PhotosNormandie. Rituals are the strings that connect us to home, and to ourselves, in times when the extraordinary becomes ordinary. Above – American troops receive communion in the field PhotosNormandie caption – Libération de la Basse-Normandie pendant l’été 1944, en secteur américain. Des GI’s reçoivent la communion. Above – [...] |
