Things As They Are
(09 May 2006) - Things As They Are is the first world history of photojournalism that presents stories that were landmarks in excellence, innovation, and also articles that played a key role in shaping the history of the art-form. This coffee table-friendly volume is divided into five sections focusing on decade-long spans starting from 1955 and ending with 2005. It includes 120 photojournalism features from around the world...

Fotolog.book
(18 April 2006) - An offline component to the world's largest photo blogging community, Fotolog.book is 1,000 of the millions of digital images posted to Fotolog in its four year history. Edited by former New Yorker photography critic Andrew Long, the hard bound anthology ranges widely in tone, subject, and style—from artsy black and white compositions to spontaneous quotidian moments—but the photos all share a unique straight-ahead point...

Alison Jackson
(07 April 2006) - Like Garry Winogrand crossed with Jeff Wall, Alison Jackson creates jarring pseudo-documentary photos. Instead of stills cinematically staging the serenity of a night janitor mopping or a chaotic car crash, Jackson stages serene chaos with counterfeit celebrities caught in private moments. In one piece, look-alikes of David Beckham and Prime Minister Tony Blair talk poolside. Blair stands in a Speedo, Beckham is wrapped in...

Peter Sutherland: Coming Home
(04 April 2006) - Neil Young has a song called "Country Home" about a city boy who goes home to the country. Every time the photographer Peter Sutherland goes home, he takes pictures of what was always around when he was growing up. Now, his new citified perspective allows him to notice things in a new light. What seems normal to people in Colorado Springs, through Sutherland's lens,...

Jill Greenberg: End Times
(03 April 2006) - Many of the photographers represented by Paul Kopeikin Gallery in Los Angeles are defining photography’s emergent stylistic tendencies. In two years, magazines will be filled with celebrity portraits aping Jill Greenberg’s techniques. It will take two years to purge the photos of screaming children from her upcoming exhibition, End Times, from your head. The artist uses the wailing distress of the children as an...

Gorillapod
(24 March 2006) - Camera tripods are one of the albatross holdovers from the Paleolithic era of film. Allegedly, digital cameras have stabilization technology, but in both the professional and consumer market, this claim is just sales copy. So unless you're working on a Lars Von Trier version of college room mate Tricia’s wedding rehearsal, lugging the tripod remains essential. Joby’s Gorrillapod, a miniature tripod with flexible legs...

Eugene Tan
(21 March 2006) - Not just content with just putting out a daily email newsletter, Aquabumps, featuring his photos of the early morning Bondi surf and those intrepid folk in it, Sydney-based photographer Eugene Tan this week opens up a gallery in North Bondi dedicated exclusively to showcasing his work. His surf inspired photos have provided a much welcomed escape from the work day for the legion of...

Juergen Teller: Do You Know What I Mean
(16 March 2006) - Widely known for his off-the-cuff Marc Jacobs ads featuring candid portraits of celebrity friends, Juergen Teller's photographs tap into the current zeitgest of intimate, spontaneous, unstructured, and cleverly voyeuristic image-making. But in his current solo exhibition at Foundation Cartier pour L'Art Contemporain in Paris, Teller shows a body of work called Nürnberg. Taken over four seasons, the images document an abandoned Nazi propaganda site...

Marilyn Minter Billboards
(09 March 2006) - New York-based artist Marilyn Minter's grit-meets-glam photorealism is the kind of attention-grabbing painting that stands out in the current Whitney Biennial. But the series of three photo billboards that Creative Time has installed in and around Chelsea are perhaps a better venue (and medium) for the lush imagery. Each 20-foot photograph employs a familiar Minter trope—soiled high heels on women's feet—that stretch over New...

Will Gurley
(06 March 2006) - Sumptuously elegant patterns, psychedelic color combinations and multi-dimensional sculptural motifs are just a few of the tricks up young artist Will Gurley’s sleeve. Currently living in London, the RISD graduate’s creations recall the pattern and decoration movement of the mid 1970s. Like his predecessor, Kim MacConnel, Gurley is not shy about taking an entire room and literally making it his own. Everything comes alive...

Kathy's Beauty Nook
(16 February 2006) - With a foot in both the fashion and fine art words, New York-based photographer John Arsenault, 34, is in some ways a typical lensman, working commercially while pursuing personal projects at the same time. But, unlike photographers before him, Arsenault's latest series, "Kathy's Beauty Nook," debuting at ClampArt in New York City on 23 February 2006, uniquely mixes voyeurism, documentary impulses, and an unprecedented...

This Week in Needled
(27 January 2006) - As Needled was a Yahoo pick this week, it held off on further posts about scantily-clad tattooed burlesque queens. At least for a week. Instead, it stayed focused on tattoos in the news with some potent photos and links to Guatemala gangs and their prison ink, creative ways tattoo artists have adapted to harsh zoning laws, and a public service announcement on why one...

Needled This Week
(20 January 2006) - Tattooed bikers and burlesque beauties started off the week in Needled with a look at the work of renowned photographer Lisa Kereszi, whose fine art photography has been described as "visual poetry". Visual poetry could also describe the tattoo art of Jon Clue, Needle's artist profile of the week, and one of the best tattooists in the US. For tattoo art without the commitment,...

(19 January 2006) - The elegiac Crown Angels T-Shirt by Brooklyn-based Roxy's Tee Parlor takes New Orleans imagery as its inspiration.

Pees on Earth
(19 January 2006) - In one of Tom Robbins' famously trippy diatribes, he theorizes that humans were invented by water as a means of transport. The mythology of pee is one way to read New York-born photographer Ellen Jong's photo-essay, Pees on Earth, a document of her worldwide outdoor pissing project. Another is as a practice in the spirit of Duchamp, a giggly, slightly subversive appropriation of public...

Mounds [Placemats]
(19 January 2006) - Placemats - something kids need to keep from staining the table cloth? Perhaps. But these ones aren't exactly age-appropriate. Introducing avant-garde Brazilian-New Yorker Vik Muniz' special edition placemat set, featuring appetizing photographs of mounds of, well... cat hair, aspirin, headless army men, poison scorpions, rat poison, and even... granola. Shudder. Printed and packaged by the folks at Printed Matter, Inc. in Manhattan, VM has...
