one good picture

…everyone nowadays is going to take one great picture in their lives,… i’m gonna take two, so i’ve got the advantage…

wieden & kennedy london have managed to convince sixties icon ‘david bailey’ to shoot a campaign for nokia using a mobile phone, the results are amazing… at least according to mr. bailey himself… (see the link for a ‘you tube’ film taken from the channel 4 news)

traces

artist ‘saskia be brauw’ has just released a publication of her bundled work traces (although the viewer app doesn’t work for me in firefox) de brauw uses photography as a means to an end for her work which all focuses loosely on the theme ‘traces’ much of the work plays with contemporary ideas such as ‘geo tagging’ although my favourite is the piece ‘contact’ where people are forced to get close to each other by folding a bed sheet together… the only thing that is a bit dissonant in the publication is the size of my ‘me’ logo on the back page (i sponsored saskia for this publication) but that logo is massive! it’s a bit too much credit for my contribution… the publication is on sale at several art book shops around town…
