LA DIARY: THE FRENZY OF FAME AND AN ORGY OF CAMERAS

The Elton John Oscar dinner tent  before the stormThe Elton John Oscar dinner tent before the storm

Me, I don't get the red carpet and this weekend in LA brought home the cruel truth that the red carpet frankly does not get blissfully anonymous me. Not that it is ever supposed to but TI found it the height of comic humiliation that while slinking past one of those mythic step and repeats for Elton John's Oscar viewing party/dinner/after-party/cluster funk the entire press battilion...on cue... put down their camera. I had been able to sneak in as the fill-in walker for a recent acquaintance. So you know...you give it the college try...cute tuxedo pants and jacket...clean white shirt...fancy shoes...you show up thoroughly moisturized and perfumed with your pearlies laser-whited and still ...not a single click. Not eve...

True.

—by Rare Autumn / Thursday, March 11, 2010






True. Photographs by Thomas Joshua Cooper. Haunch of Venison, 2010. 178 pp., 80 tritone illustrations, 11¾x9".

American photographer Thomas Joshua Cooper is viewed as one of the foremost contemporary landscape photographers.

His first exhibition was in 1971 and he has since had numerous solo and group exhibitions in the US and Europe (with his work being included at the Tate Gallery for example), as well as having his work included in a great number of publications. Alongside this he is currently also professor and senior researcher at the prestigious Glasgow School of Art (Scotland, UK).


'True' details a two year journey to the polar regions, and represents new works from the series 'The World's Edge' - an ongoing work that 'seeks to map the extremities of the land and islands that surround the Atlantic Ocean'.

Cooper's project 'The World's Edge' sta...

Robert Kinmont

—by Field Of Vision / Wednesday, March 10, 2010



At the beginning of the 1970s, around the time he turned 30 and just as people were picking up on his droll, low-key work, Robert Kinmont decided to stop making art and retire to upstate California. Here, he lived a rural life surrounded by the wilderness he loved, raised his kids...oh, and built his own school, called Coyote. Legend has it that he taught his students at Coyote about human creativity by cooking breakfast for them over a camp stove set up on the floor of their art school classroom. Then in 1978 he closed the school and moved to Santa Rosa to be a carpenter, a trade he pursued for the next 20 years. About 5 years ago he went back into his studio and started making art again.

He makes whimsical sculptures from natural materials which reflect his love of the American wilderness – logs, twigs, wooden boards – but its his irreverent, personal photographs from the 60s which have the real cha...

Streetwise (1984)

—by http://ilovehotdogs.net/ / Wednesday, March 10, 2010

Help! I recently stumbled upon this amazing still and remembered that I’ve never seen this film. Mainly because every copy that I’ve come across is on VHS (I don’t have a VHS player anymore, womp womp). If anyone knows where I can get a copy on DVD (not available on Netflix or Amazon) email me the deets please and we’ll be friends for life! Thanks!
