snapshot

" I loved the way the burned out flashcubes of the Kodak Instamatic marked a moment that had passed, one that would now be gone forever except for a picture...I had rescued the moment by using my camera and in that way had found a way to stop time and hold it. No one could take that image away from me because I owned it "
The Lovely Bones, Alice Sebold

yayoi kusama :: self obliteration, part II


out on the street today taking my inspiration from bill cunningham

after looking at paul grahams ‘empty heaven’ book, i thought i would like to do some of my own, to take photos according to a series of categories selected to represent my view of society. the first of the categories i chose was tourists. it seemed an odd paradox to take photographs of people taking photographs, but i quite enjoyed that.  

nan goldin - the ballad of sexual dependency

to do

  • photograph little things [black + white, klein] and rainy colour [colour, saul leiter] [F]
  • street style a la cunningham - photograph [set up on a street and photograph everyone who passes, perhaps create typographies therein] [F]
  • juergen teller - document + upload + refine [1-3 film photos everyday] 
  • paul graham - document + photograph [beige coats, tourists, chicken shops, roadworks] [TH/M]
  • art of book making - paul graham, empty heaven [F]
  • kusama film - link to graham + review exhibition [film as another method]
  • nan goldin - the ballad of sexual dependency [book + slideshow] link to kusama [F]

empty heaven

paul grahams’ empty heaven book is a very personal view of society. with next to no text, he relentless captures his idea of japan in a series of ongoing motifs of car engines, hand gesturing women and close up mens faces

caught in bright flashes, the images are similar to Teller’s in that they are not conventionally ‘good’ photographs, but indeed project a definite view on his society. i should like to take some photos of things in London, just a few key motifs that i see cropping up again and again in my day to day life, and perhaps i feel sum up my view of living in this city   

and forward
