Follow me down-UNKLE

I think this video is pure art, I literally find it intoxicating to watch and I am just wowed by the the mono/cibachrome style effects and aesthetic. I think photographers should find inspiration in a variety of different visuals. This song is taken from UNKLE’s fourth album Where Did The Night Fall  and directed by by Warren du Preez and Nick Thornton Jones

Tacheles-Berlin

Tacheles art house in Berlin is where a initiative of artist gather and work and exhibit their paintings, sculptures, installations and any other media that take their fancy. The building itself is like a huge abandoned apartment block with about five floors and covered wall to wall in graffiti.The backyard is full of huge iron sculptures and music session are regularly held. If you are paying a visit to the city, it really is worth going to check it out.

Elsinore

Photography duo Nick & Chloé  have used  Shakespeare’s tragedy  'Hamlet' as the inspiration for their photostory. Hamlet  is portrayed as a lost prince in “a time of decay and abandon,” explains Nick & Chloé. Hamlet’s  lonely expressions and pale skin, reflect the somber and nostalgic mood. Objects placed in the vacant office like the veal’s feet and the butterfly represent death and decay.Elsinore

On the road...

When I look at these images by Mike Brodie aka the Polaroid Kidd ,I just want to pack a red napsack and go freight train hopping with Sal Pardise and Dean Moriarty. The exhibition called 'Ridin dirty face' which included many more photos ,was shown in August 2007 in the pins and needles gallery in San Franciso.

His subjects are train-hoppers, vagabonds, squatters and hobos who all part of the dying bohemian spirit

plastic fantastic

While scouring the chairty shops yesterday, i came across a 'Browie' vecta camera for nothing (who throws this stuff out). I am not sure if it works but looks in decent nick. it only has one shutter speed and an F stop of 14 so this is an artistic adventure rather than testing technical abilities. having said that, it took me two hours to open it so maybe its more difficult than it looks.
