out, again

art, news, other artists | March 24th, 2009

Damn, I’m leaving again.  Stepped in NYC for a week, shot like one roll on the street, discussed a fashion story with a stylists that we were going to get going, then got called out West for another commercial job.

Will be out for about two weeks.  Telling you this is getting old, right…

Now, complaining about any money job these days would be wrong, so I bite my tongue about having to vanish again, and I just keep pics like these open on my desktop, small, in the corner, to keep things legit, to keep sanity legit.

(Meisel did a play on Yoshiyuki’s park photos for Vogue Italia.  Supposedly it was too much, (see it, here).  And while I prefer the original, as is most often the case, still a fine fash ed.)

(As far as I can remember, I’ve yet to see a fashion take on Brandt’s work.  Ripe to be done though.  Ripe.  Inez, maybe?)

All of those are from the Moma collection btw.

Enjoy.  Will keep you posted.
