This post is the first of a new category of print editions I will be offering for sale, doing what I can to make a little scratch to keep film in the fridge and a roof over my head; moreover it’s an effort to get what I do into the world in the form of a finished print.

This particular print, Untitled (from a fashion story), is a 20×30″ silver gelatin print in an edition of 5.  If you’re interested in purchasing or pricing, contact me through my email for more info.

Il Conformista, by Bernardo Bertolucci, is one of the most amazingly shot films I’ve ever seen.

Ever.

Period.

I see in it everything from Lynch’s central oeuvre to Missoni’s FW09 campaign.

On a seperate note, get to ICP to see the Avedon show!…or if you can’t make it, at least you can see the NYTimes multimedia feature, here.

I did a quick yet idea provoking walk through the MET’s exhibition “model as muse” yesterday.  The exhibition’s been getting a lot of press, rightfully, as it’s both excellently curated and art directed.  Two things struck me while walking through the show.  First, how incredible Dior has been in the history of fashion (duh), and how it remains to be under Galliano.  The recent Dior Couture they had on display was incredible.  It’s the sort of stuff that makes me want to photograph clothing.  Second, I was amazed at both how many people were at the exhibit and how interested they were in it.  Which seems like a silly thing to say, but I’m not sure I’ve ever seen so many people so interested in any exhibit I’ve been to.  It was a reminder of how fashion and this aspect of our culture really is mass, and while it feels like it can become isolated to the little bubbles of NYC, Paris, London, etc, it’s so much larger than that. Maybe Penn summed it best in stating, to paraphrase, I take photographs for the housewife in the mid-west.

The museum also posted it’s curator talks in 9 parts, which are a nice history of models and fashion’s social/cultural functions in general:

I was having a super late post-party supper with a group from Tank while in London and the fash ed started talking about this really far out stuff and, as you’d guess, my interest piqued. It was a film. I won’t belabor the specifics here, but will only repeat what she said, it is amaaaaazing, then said again after a dramatic pause to assure my full attention, amaaaaazing. So I watched it.  It’s called The Holy Mountain, by Alejandro Jodorowsky, and, I agree, it is most certainly incredible, but…wow.

Nearly makes Barney’s Creamaster Cycle seem par for, er, normal.

On a completely different note, standing applause for Visionaires #56 solar-powered book. Putting up a good fight for why the printed magazine/book will always have it’s place.

There’s an interview from Vogue with Meisel, here, which as most of you know, is a rare thing indeed.
