Photography news

I love this blog, by  the photographer Jason Evans.  Every day he takes a picture of something that makes him happy and post it on his blog. Thats just how simple and nice life should be!

Hello my treasures! Today I'm blogging from an internet cafe in Brooklyn town, since my computer decided to not run firefox anymore. My homiekins Bill finally got his shit together and started a photo blog, Backyard Bill, where he is taking pictures of folks in their own style in our back garden, on our stoop or just around the hood. Me thinks this is a winning recipe, good style, good people and good fun. Also me and Billy are featured on "The Selby" this week, so go check it out!

For Sydney Design 08 the organisers have decided that their mascot will be a bucket. And not just any bucket, one with a hole in it. Not just a well-designed piece of humour the buckets are part of a project to encourage discussion on good design, There’s A Hole In My Bucket.

20 Sydney designers have been given a bucket each to go and photograph in a spot they think has been poorly designed. But you don’t have to be a whiz on Creative Suite to get involved, there are buckets to be picked up all around town so that you can have a say too. Just pick one up, take it somewhere useless and snap it. Submit your shot online and it’ll be uploaded to the photo gallery.

Buckets with holes in them can be picked up from:

Kanye West's blog is one of my favourites. I love it because it scans the world for the most cutting edge in music, fashion, architecture and design in one quick daily dose.
Today was no exception when I found myself overwhelmingly proud and inspired when stumbling across a recent post on the surf/fashion Aussie label Insight51 and it’s most recent (?) advertising campaign. Captured by the highly creative photographer Dustin Humphrey, I am in love with each frame’s crazy mix of Alice in Wonderland/ Diane Arbus -esque surrealism, and good old Aussie surf and street culture all in one deep and dark underworld (or at least that’s what I’m getting). Kudous to Insight51 for having such imagination!

Where have you been, if you don't know who the "The Selby" is? This is the shit, the egg, the egg Toddy's new plog (or photo blog). Everybody is raving about it: - It's the Cobra Snake of interiors! And with thousands of hits a day (yeez, me jealous), it sure is proven;
The Selby has landed! I just love this plog, its so beautiful and interesting, it's like snooping in peoples houses without ever being caught. My favorite is Meryl Smith house, with loads of wonderful and curios things in it. But there is so many more. Cindy Green, Tom Wolfe, Lesley Arfin, Adam Wallacavage, Erin Wasson, William Eadon to name a few.
So what are you waiting for? Go snoop, snoopy dog!

'Here, the scenery becomes the character and relates contemporary tales and legends laced with sophisticated seductions, like a latter-day Cecil Beaton, Lewis Carroll or J.M. Barrie.' These are the words of French designer Christian Lacroix and curator du jour of one of the greatest photography festivals in Europe Les Rencontres d’Arles about British fashion photographer Tim Walker. This man is a kind of a wizard : he grows cupcakes trees, breeds some pink and green cats and his bathroom looks like a garden. Dreamy craftsman, this regular contributor to all the high-class fashion magazines insists on the fact that there is no digital manipulation in his pictures. His Wonderland is to visit at the moment in Arles, France or in London at the Design Museum.
