Pretty dead as of late!
so guys since we seem to not be posting much now that we are all running all over, i thought i would throw something out there to see if we can get talking again. ill just tell you want i am doing and ask to hear the same from you.
currently i am getting ready to go to work (eww) but the large picture is that i am getting ready for thesis which will be in the end of Nov. i am not going crazy just yet up feel i will be soon! yikes! we now, for those not here, have a thesis class that Jenny is teaching. it is a good idea because it is like photo arts and you get help with the paper, but we have to have our paper done by the end of the quarter. i know it is only 10pages but that with trying to put a show together, i am feeling the pressure.
enough about me, how are you folks who are out there in the non SCAD world? and who is planning on going to the southeast SPE so i can know to look for faces?Labels: Current Events, What's Happening |

This is why we got our MFAs... I have some students working for Studio West...
This just in from Cedar City via Fox News:
"Studio Owner Arrested for Throwing Objects at Rival's Window"
Saturday , September 15, 2007
CEDAR CITY, Utah —
The owner of a photography studio has been arrested for hurling metal projectiles — bolts, small bearings and copper-jacketed bullets — at the front window of a rival photo studio.
"I just got angry, and I let it build and build," said Kurtis Leany, the 51-year-old proprietor of Zion Photography. "It's the only way I knew to take it out."
Leany said he started getting angry at the owner of Studio West Photography a dozen years ago. He said Karl Hugh was "verbally trashing me" and stole his pageantry photography business this summer for the Miss Iron County competition. The studios are three blocks apart.
Hugh said he had no idea he was involved in a feud, adding, "Honestly, when I found out who it was, I couldn't believe it."
It wasn't the first time Hugh said he had been the victim of a window-bashing vandalism on his studio, home and car.
He slept Thursday night at his studio with a video camera ready.
"I thought, 'I'm gonna catch this guy,"' Hugh said. And he did — at 5:30 a.m. Friday.
Leany was booked into the Iron County jail on five counts of criminal mischief and released on $5,000 bail.
Leany, who used a slingshot, said he will pay for damages.
"I'm actually glad I got caught. I needed this abrupt stop," he said. "I'm really sorry for what I did." |

Known for Famous Photos, Not All of Them His
Joe O’Donnell,who died Aug. 9, hijacked and claimed as his own some of the 20th century’s most famous images.
This article in today's New York Times discusses photographer Joe O'Donnell and how he had taken credit for photographs, such as on of John John's salute of his fathers coffin, that were not his own. I just find it interesting that many of these photographs that are widely know were not, at the time, accredited to any one photographer, which now causes problems with who gets credit for what photo. It seems that since the 40's 50's and 60's, photography and more specifically photojournalism has become much more important. Now all photos in papers are credited to someone, and there are photojournalism stars such as James Nachtway, and agencies like VII.
I just thought this was an interesting article, especially since it seems that O’Donnell wasn’t sued for any kind of copy right infringement, and wanted to hear what you guys thought about it.Labels: Current Events, In the News |

From "www.theartnewspaper.com":
Andreas Gursky: In memory of Bernd Becher, a much loved and respected teacher and friend
Posted 11 September 2007
Bernd and Hilla Becher, Water Towers, 1967-80 (detail). The work goes on show this month in the Metropolitan Museum’s new photography gallery.
Dear Bernd,
Yesterday I received the very unexpected news of your death. This news is made all the more painful for me as we did not get to see each other in the past year. You do know, however, how enormously important your influence was—and is—not only to me, but also to a whole generation of younger people.
You and Hilla have produced an invaluable and multi-faceted body of work that has served as an invaluable point of reference for us. We adapted and developed many stylistic characteristics of your technique. Yet, in my opinion, there is another crucial factor that ensured the uniqueness of the Becher School: teacher-artists can be found anywhere, but only a few succeed in transmitting your kind of drive to their students.
You were never a power-hungry man, abusing your international fame for political or institutional influence, but, instead, you stoically endured the criticisms of your academic peers. These made you all the more determined to pursue your unconventional teaching methods, which included affording absolute priority to your own and your students’ artistic visions.
When your students came to you with their work, you often reflected upon it late into the night, and took the time to comment, using apt art-historical examples. By the end of these private tutorials, not only were your floors covered with books, but books were also perched on top of the many red-labelled Agfa film cartons, tripods and ladders that were strewn about your studio. A permanent chemical odour signalled the authenticity of your work and living space—where, for the life of me, I cannot remember ever seeing a comfy sofa. Having spent my childhood and youth in over-designed advertising studios, it was a key experience to have such an insight into your world. I still remember my tipsy walk home—through that enchanted gateway in front of your studio, past that red van, which was packed with your heavy ladders of all sizes.
Bernd, I thank you for this important time in my life and hope that you will continue quietly to guide me through today’s art circus with your dry humour and carefree attitude.
In friendship,
AndreasLabels: In the News |

Hey, J, you want me to keep you on the edge of eye wear fashion? Believe it or not, this is the latest offering from Italian designer, Prada. This, my friend, is what he says you should be wearing. Now go get one, sucka!
