Isnt that the point of photography to both the artist AND to the average point-and-shooter?
P.S. I found this police warning on Not If But When, the photographer Brian Ulrich’ blog. If you dont read already, then you should definitely check it out. He really knows photography, and makes frequent posts about not only what he is doing, but what other contemporary photographers are doing, and where they’re showing. I know I’m a total photo-nerd but I think it’s a must-read. (I took an online class from him once actually… it was hard.)
OHMYGODWE MADE IT! LOOK HOW CUTE WE ARE!!!!!! FREAKIN OOOOUUUUT!!!!!!!!!!
(For those of you shambies out there who dont have any idea whats going on, I will say that there is this big thing right now about street fashion. There are a list of street fashion blogs, one for seemingly EVERY metropolitan area in the world, dedicated to capturing the best of the local street fashion (Even our own Alec Soth made a post a while ago partly about his obsession for them). This particular one is called the Minneapoline. There is also a competition annually, I guess, where the blogs COMPETE using their very best, most fashionable posts against the other blogs’.)
So this is my “whats up with you” post, as of late. Because Im sure all of you are just dying to know. Plus I just need to get a lot of this off of my chest. Since I dont ever see ANYONE anymore… welcome to my newly-acquired reclusive-esque-life.
Edit: (Prepare yourself for a doozy)
Exciting things (not neccessarily in chronological order):
1) Alex and I walked around Macy’s at the Mall when he was here last and did some dreamin’. We like to do that sometimes… GUESS WHAT I FOUND BEN. Martha-things. All of them. I was like a kid in a candy store picking out everything that I wanted to have when I can eventually afford them. Here I am with the faux-bois bath towels! (excuse the ridiculously wide-angle lens of my cell phone… I look like poor unsuspecting Drew Barrymore in the Covergirl commercials… YUK!) You can find the whole faux-bois COLLECTION
here. (more…)
If you havent been to XKCD yet (this awfully funny nerd guy’s comic page), then you should. Alex and I are obsessed with it. He posted this valentine today.
Oh my gosh, all of the cool stuff in this world. There is just so much! Here are some of the cool things I’ve seen recently (most of which are for home/decorations, for love of which I get from Emma).
Why, I look at Wikipedia, of course!!! More and more I realize how interesting it can be to just dink around on it, without having to know what you are looking up! For instance, I looked up my birthday in history and it tells me everything that happened, on my birthday! And MAN do I have a good one! Here’s whats up:
Julius Ceasar invades Britain in 55 BC!
(AWESOME Ceasar costume on Amazon)
On behalf of Emma as well as myself, I would like to bestow upon you and the other shamblies our personal two worst gifts of the season… UGLY TINY PURSES. Somehow, both of our mothers conspired against us in a plot to ruin the cuteness that we haved worked so hard to accomplish…
ps. up next is my 50th post. prepare for greatness.
So if you hadnt heard about the recent assasination of Former Prime Minister of Pakistan, Benazir Bhutto, well… you should have. (see an informative news clip here.) Well, her 19-year-old son has beed appointed her successor… and I hate to be the one to bring it up, but does anyone else notice anything wierdly, and disturbingly, familiar about him??
