La fabrication de Moscow Diskow (Telex)
Pretty good tumblr idea:
Artemisia Gentileschi, “Judith Slaying Holofernes”/Destiny’s Child, “Independent Women”
Vivian Maier is a hype I like to believe in.
Blow-Up (1966), dir. Michelangelo Antonioni

“I was a 12 years old boy in Park Slope, Brooklyn, at the time. Hazel (a real knockout) wanted to ask me a question, but was too shy(?). So her friend Norma Jeane did it for her. It was the question in this title, a recoding of which Hazel was holding. I stupidly said “no”, because I didn’t want to look like a chump in front of my guy friends. In a rage, Hazel broke the record into pieces with her bare hands, and flung them at me. I was a chump.” —Youtube comment for “The Shirelles - Will You Love Me Tomorrow (Live, 1964)”

These are some photos of young people taken by Mark Steinmetz. I’ve mentioned him on this blog before (here, here, and here), but I saw him speak last night at ICP, and again, my opinion that he is one of the best photographers the world has known is reaffirmed. It was interesting hearing him talk, because he’s a man of few words. During the Q & A his answers were typically shorter than all the questions. He also doesn’t take compliments well. At any rate, he has a new book coming out this year with Nazraeli called Paris in My Time, which I’m sure will be one to get.
Last summer, I was very lucky to have Mark critique my work in Hartford. Here’s a blurry iPhone pic of one of the happier moments in my life:
Breaks your fucking heart, doesn’t it?
