I love this — this guy has a sense of humor about the way that our cities always find a way to punish the most innocent behavior (while the real dirtbags walk free, I might add).

Blake Andrews Interviews Stephen Scheer
Published June 8, 2011 Photography Leave a CommentTags: Blake Andrews, Stephen Scheer
Blake Andrews has an extensive interview over on his blog with the very insightful Stephen Scheer.
With my own “personal work” there wasn’t a sense of finish. My method was to look at the world explicitly with the intent to make pictures of it, because that was the best way for me to relate to it. I wasn’t a voyeur, I was a picture maker. I was interested in people in pictures, at large. I didn’t have time to know everybody. I’m not sure why others call this “personal work”. It is actually rather physical, energetic and public. You maneuver and interact with people. They are subjects for pictures and your job is to make sense of them and it, photographically.
Take a look here.

SLUT-GASMS
Published June 7, 2011 Photography , Protests , Protests & Rallies 3 CommentsTags: slut walk, Tom Andrews
Whoever knew that slut-gasms would become a word some day, but if the intellectual heavyweight Sarah Palin can invent “refudiate” (spell check is telling me refudiate is misspelled) and get it recognized by the New Oxford American Dictionary, then maybe this guy has a shot, too. Anyway, my friend Tom Andrews took a walk with some self-proclaimed sluts recently and captured their hilarious and clever posters.
Check them out here, here, and here.
LA TACO also covered the protest.

Area 51, a.k.a. Dreamland, Paradise Ranch, Home Base, Watertown Strip, Groom Lake or Homey Airport, is a military base in Nevada that the government has never been too keen on acknowledging. So when the very secret A-12 spy plane crashed in 1963, the feds rushed to cover it up. But now those images have been declassified by the CIA, and National Geographic has posted them for all your commie eyes to see.

Pit Bulls: Friend Not Foe
Published June 6, 2011 Photography 1 CommentTags: dogs, pit bulls, vintage photos
Before they were known as aggressive attack dogs, pit bulls were nicknamed “nanny dogs” and known as friend and protector to children.
As the Yonah Ward Grossman blog says:
The most tolerant, patient, gentle breed of dogs is now embarrassingly portrayed as the most dangerous. It would be funny if the new reputation did not mean 6,000 are put to death every day, by far the highest number of any other breed euthanized.

“Thanks for ruining our vacation.”
— Piper Palin, Sarah Palin’s daughter, to a Time photographer
This seems like an odd reaction when your “vacation” is a publicity stunt!
