Zink Magazine
Z!nk is one of my favorite magazines for photography. Generally I never read magazines. I buy or subscribe to magazines for the images and design layout and then cut out images I like and take ideas from them for inspiration. The fashion editorials that z!nk runs are always new and innovative. I feel like I am seeing an image for the first time, rather than one I have seen copied a million times over which is refreshing. In addition, their product...

Anthony Lane
I was recently going through all of my websites that I had bookmarked and I came across this movie review of the movie Synecdoche, New York by the movie critic Anthony Lane. He is probably my favorite movie reviewer for the simple reason that he always gives me something new to think about or a different way to look at something. I bookmarked his review of this movie before I saw it, knowing that it was on my netflix que and that by bookmarking the...

Tattoos and Mucha
So I'm looking for tattoo designs for next year when I get my tattoo. My mom and I are planning on each getting a small tattoo on her 50th birthday. I want a small one right behind my ear and as of right now I am thinking about a small design in the art nouveau style. My problem now is that art nouveau is so detailed that Im trying to find something that would work. Luckily I'm not in any rush to get it. Last night I came across this tattoo. Its...

Recurring Images
There are places that I find myself drawn to and go back to photograph again and again. My dad and I went out one afternoon a couple years ago and took his large format camera. The negatives are 4x5 and are absolutely beautiful. We went into the woods by the Cornell Experimental Fields and ended up taking a few close up shots of patterns that we found in an old fallen tree. The first picture is from that day we went out with the large format cameraMore...

Stream of Consciousness
Okay, so try to stay with me on this but I was looking up some things on youtube and I realized how much I try and relate things with one another. I was searching for 16mm short films to see what other people have done with the medium since that is what we have to shoot with for my cinema production class. I came across this video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PaklKDELP60(1min 54sec)^I'm not sure how I feel about this film actually because the shots...

Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Since this semester I am taking a cinema production class and have to make my own movies I feel like I have been looking at more movies and shorts. I came across this set of interviews conducted by the New York Times and I went through most, if not all, of them. I love the simple lighting of the subjects and even thought the interviews might not be the most heartfelt or emotional, I think they make the actors come across as approachable. They are...

Irving Penn
Irving Penn was an incredible portrait photographer and was known as one of the worlds leading fashion photographers. His portraits have inspired me to look and play with light and to capture the spirit of a person in a single frame. ^PicassoRIPListening to: Fire by August...
Light Leaks
One of the things that every artist tries to develop is their own style. Its great to come across a photographer who has a definitive style in their work that is easily identifiable and sets them apart from other photographers. I came across the photographer Guy Aroch when I was working at Trunk Archive this past summer because I kept coming across his pictures in the images I had to go through and his images were always very easy to recognize.His...

I love my Holga
So I finally got my film back from this summer that I shot with my Holga camera. I shot 2 rolls in color and 4 rolls in black and white and it was the first time I shot 120mm film in black and white. Now I'm not sure if I prefer the color film more because I shot with it first or because it has a polariod feel but I don't think I'm going to be shooting as much black and white 120mm film with my Holga. Here are a couple pictures from the summer:This...

Campaign Videos
Lately I have come across campaign videos for clothing companies and I think it is a really interesting medium for advertisers to utilize. They are generally a couple minutes long which is definitely too long to be shown anywhere on tv. Sometimes the company will put the video on their website. I came across this video for the clothing company Toast this past summer. I was interning at an image licensing company named Trunk Archive (http://www.trunkarchive.com/) and one of the photographers they represent did advertising work for this clothing company named Toast. I love how this film can be seen as advertising but also as an art film. I would...

visit
So today in my visual culture class there was a visiting artist who mainly worked with collages and visual representation and symbols within our mainstream society. At the beginning of class we had 15 minutes to create our own collage of whatever we wanted. This is what I had at the end of 15 minutes....After she lectured a little bit we got together as a class and looked at some of the collages people had made and tried to draw some meaning from...
