Greetings Earthlings. I heard you like photography.

I found an interesting photographer today, check out his site:

Out of all the collections listed, I much prefer the first collection, Dreamland. The majority of the other pictures are macro studies of industrial textures, some of which I enjoyed, and some I didn't. The first collection reminds me of my trip out west last winter, it all looks cold and arid. In the right framework, even the most mundane can be sublime. Please don't tell me that's cliché, doesn't the rolling chair in the desert look like a penitent on his knees? Or maybe he's just on a pilgrimage.

I found that site on this site: jmcolberg



Out of one of one of my favorite photographic series I've seen, Aaron Hobson's "A Decisive Moment" genuinely scares me.
gathered from: http://www.aaronhobson.com/evendarker.html. This photograph is from the "Even Darker" season, but I really enjoyed all three that are available on the site.
Here's his blog:i shot myself they did too
I found his photograph on another blog, who killed bambi


an interesting story:

"Madonna and Child" by Jean Fochit.

from dear aunt nettie

"Fochit had been commissioned to execute a Madonna and Child for the tomb of Etienne Chevalier, treasurer to King Charles VII of France. As luck would have it he completed the painting one week after Paris had passed its landmark "zero-tolerance" legislation regarding child pornography. The artist was consequently arrested and used as an example by the courts, sentenced to 30 years in the notorious Bastille. He hanged himself shortly after his incarceration there.

His model, Agnes Sorel, was given a 14-year sentence for contributing to the delinquency of a minor, procuring the use of a child for use in a pornographic setting, and operating a milk bar without a town license. Her child, Jean-Louis, was assigned to a foundling home where he perished of neglect."

Fucking sad story.

and I'm sorry. I can't get the links to work. They disappear in the formatting, somehow. I promise the url's are all worth just a touch more extra effort. Click on the pictures, though!
