The Single Cookie Jar by Emilie Baltz
(14 November 2005) - Emilie Baltz is a Brooklyn-based photographer and designer. She started designing objects that were inspired by her work as a photographer to "reflect surrounding cultural needs." The Single Cookie Jar is both a cookie cutter and a chic cookie storage container. The "dinner for one" and the pre-portioned snacks craze are possible influences for this clever design. It's handcast in ceramic and available in...
Slater Bradley at Taka Ishii Gallery
(11 November 2005) - New York-based artist Slater Bradley debuts his new work that documents a young man posing as a Storm Trooper at a Star Wars convention at Taka Ishii gallery's new space in Tokyo today. Titled Uncharted Settlements III and running through 10 December, the subject of the snapshot-like photos add a geek culture edge to Bradley's exploration of themes like youthful obsession, fandom, impersonation, and...
Chuck Close: Self-portraits 1967-2005 at the SFMOMA
(10 November 2005) - I meant to post this earlier this fall when this show (a collaboration between the SFMOMA and the Walker Art Center) opened in Minneapolis but by the time I got around to it the show was nearly over. Fortunately we all have a second chance now that this amazing retrospective is about to open at the SFMOMA. This was an important show for the...

Having lived in China for over 10 years, the book is Wolf's third monograph that takes the country as its subject and his images reflect both his intimacy with the city and an objective journalist's eye. The...

Grafuck
(31 October 2005) - Grafuck a new book published by newly formed husband-and-wife design team me, me (Fiel Valdez and Peter Vattanatham) is the latest offering of something other than the platform stiletto and waxed chest versions of sexy pictures. Valdez and Vattanatham tasked a mix of international artists and designers with making imagery based on what many people still consider verboten and the upshot is a volume...
Todd Hido
(28 October 2005) - Todd Hido is a SF Bay Area artist and photographer. He is a master with light and color, which helps illuminate the anonymity—of place, of location and of self—that is so central to his work. Who lives in these neighborhoods, in these houses? How did we, the voyeurs, arrive there? We are at once both intrigued and drawn away. The images are solemn, powerful...
New Showcase Artists
(24 October 2005) - Over the weekend we added new work from 7 different artists to the Craig Kanarick (above, top), Emiliano Granado (above, middle) and Jen Tank (above, bottom) among others. Some of the older images were rotated out, but everything we've ever had up there can be viewed here. If you're interested in submitting images for The Showcase, check out these instructions....
Sony DSC-N1
(04 October 2005) - In the 2 years that have passed since Sony launched the revolutionary T1 there have been several iterations (5 to be exact) on the 5.1 Megapixel, big screen small wonder T series. The N1 is their next big step-- it features more megapixels, a bigger screen, a better lens, improved overall image quality and a whole new touch screen user interface. All this is...
Box Mag
(29 September 2005) - Box is the latest in a new breed of mindful soft porn. It offers a post-ironic combination of fine art photography and illustration, literature, documentary and editorial reviews. What's best is that it's neither gay nor straight, male or female focused-- it has something for everyone without making anyone uncomfortable. But it's still very erotic. The first issue, appropriately themed The First Time, has...
Theme 3
(27 September 2005) - Theme, the new quarterly pan-Asian magazine just came out with their 3rd issue filled with the lush photos, unique content, and compelling profiles that made us fans in the first place. The brainchild of publishers Jiae Kim and John Lee, Theme's attention to detail shows up in extremely well-edited product pages, clean design, and stories you wouldn't expect to see in a glossy, like...
Arne Svenson "Portraits"
(12 September 2005) - If you're in Los Angeles try and catch Portraits, the new work of photographer Arne Svenson at Western Project gallery. Svenson spent three years researching and photographing forensic facial reconstruction sculptures. The images are attempts at reconstructing identities; when you look at them it's hard not to think about the people they represent, their lives, and what terrible fate they met. The show closes...
Design Italiano
(07 September 2005) - The Repertorio Del Design Italiano 1950-2000 is an indispensible guide to modern Italian design of the last fifty years. It took the authors more than ten years of research to assemble this thorough resource. If your Italian is a bit rusty you can rely on the 2,000+ images to follow the work of one of the dozens of designers or firms covered. $250, in...
Charlie White, 6 Questions
(29 August 2005) - Charlie White's richly narrative work inserts otherwordly creatures into situations that range from banal to melodramatic: a puppet everyman sings forlornly on the scene of a car accident in an Interpol video, a naked alien character mingles at what looks like a suburban swingers' cocktail party, and doll-like children play in a clichéd oil painting of a rural yard. The effect is eerily compelling,...
Streetsy
(29 August 2005) - Blue Jake and Wooster Collective just launched Streetsy, a street art photo blog. With over 2500 images and new ones added all the time, Streetsy promises to be a great daily fix. And like the art itself, the images are free to the public domain. ...
American Apparel Mexico City
(05 August 2005) - American Apparel threw a flea market-themed pre-party for its first Mexican shop last month on Mexico City's Masaryk Street (their take on the Champs-Elysees). The event launched a campaign by the Mexican photographer Napoleón Habeica who produced a series of images with the distinct American Apparel "everyday sexy" vernacular that make even me blush. (The one pictured here is the least naughty of the...
Photocuffs
(04 August 2005) - Better than wallet-mangled photos, Smoy's new picture cuffs are brag book alternatives and, if you choose a sweetheart's snapshot, a cross between a modern locket and wearing your heart on your sleeve. Soho versions (pictured) come in five different colors and hidden pockets hold extra photos for a gallery you can rotate on-the-go. Available in brown and black, the Brooklyn style features grommets that...
Spellcaster
(22 June 2005) - Spell With Flickr, a fun tool from the script-savvy Kastner, allows you to piece together words in classic ransom-note style without the hassle of scissors and paste. The code scours the Flickr archives for photographs tagged as letters and then randomly reconstructs your desired text as a mixed-up montage....
Color Flash Holga
(09 June 2005) - The Color Flash Holga, quietly released in late 2004, is the latest plastic wonder from the Lomographic Society International. Art schoolers and adventurous amateurs have long enjoyed Holga's beautiful and unpredictable results: vignetting, soft focus, and light leaks. The new model is a natural evolution of this primitive classic, boasting only one additional (but fantastic) feature-- the "Color Flash Wheel." Now photographers can use...
Maharishi's Fall/Winter '05 Promo Shoot
(07 June 2005) - Maharishi just doesn't quit. This time they add a bit of sly wit to fashion photography, dressing Warhol and Basquiat dolls from their 20th Century Artists Series in scale reproductions from their Fall/Winter '05 collection. Inspired by Christopher Makos' gender-bending Warhol photos, Maharishi tapped legendary stylist and friend of Warhol, Isabella Blow, to cross-dress the Warhol doll in the women's line. With the Basquiat...

(12 May 2005) - Plates and Dishes is a new photographic journal by Stephan Schacher that captures the food and personalities of American diner culture. The portraits are fresh and the colors subdued, and it's easy to live vicariously through Schacher's journey across America and parts of Canada as he explores the country through its diner food and the people who serve it. ...
Matt Siber: Floating Logos
(15 April 2005) - Matt Siber's Floating Logos project accentuates the already looming presence of roadside megabrands. By simply removing the poles, he introduces a bit of surreal humor and religious allusion. Most of the photographs in the series elevate either fast food or oil brands-- a definite Americana statement. ...
Chuck Anderson: Godlike
(23 March 2005) - Remember those amazing photo-illustrations from NP&CO. The image, Godlike, is a whimsical street scene and can be yours for $50. ...
