Apple Macbook Air

Updated Jan 16, 2008

60 people recommended this item

Description

For decades predictions of the TV or video phone have been presented as cool edgy technology that's "just around the corner". Well folk, it's here, yeah the Apple Macbook Air is basically that but so much more, it'll spin your head around.

It's interesting to note that Macbook Air is positioned to leapfrog the way people use and view laptop computing, reminds me of how in same sort of way that the original launch of the Macintosh provided a new direction which IBM was unable to realize.

Think about it that way, because "Air" is equipped with state of the art Wi-Fi, Leopard operating system, on-board camera-mic, and iChat video conferencing, "Air" is actually a not a simple workstation, it's more or less a portable Media Broadcasting Network.

It's part of a new communications revolution about to unfold, the first step began with the internet, now tools like "Air" will empower the next wave of media visionaries.

I can't imagine the "Air" available in China.

p.s. and it's also great for internet dating, and online shopping--Me I'm still waiting for a Mac Tablet PLEASE!

Francesca Woodman ~ Chris Townsend, Francesca Woodman

Updated Nov 27, 2007

1st to recommend

Description

The photo work of Francesca Woodman was invisible to me until I came across this book. Inside I discovered a stunning volume of work. What touches me most is the respect that Woodman gives to her subjects (primarily is focused on the female body and the space in which the gaze of the photographer and the female nude perform in). I found the work to be equally fragile, playful and powerful. I'm still surprised that I missed out on Woodman's work all these years, oh well, the same thing happened to me with Diane Arbus.


More on the artist from Victoria Miro:

1958 born Denver, Colorado, died 1981.

Francesca Woodman produced a remarkable body of work before her untimely death in 1981 aged only 23. Her romantic, surreal, and often disturbing black and white photographs reference the history of modernist photography as well as presciently gesture towards more recent art about objectification and the female gaze. Her work is groundbreaking due to her unconventional methods of imaging the female body. By radically placing her own body at the fore of her photographs as a means of inquiry and self-expression, Woodman is firmly situated alongside her contemporaries of the late 1970's such as Ana Mendieta and Hannah Wilke. Her work also presaged artists such as Cindy Sherman, Sarah Lucas, Nan Goldin and Karen Finley in their subsequent dialogues with the self and reinterpretations of the female body.

Buffalo ~ Ray Petri

Updated Oct 5, 2007

1st to recommend

Description

In the thick of the 1980's the U.K. "Buffalo" style was the post-punk-rock bully on the fashion block. Built on tough looks, "Buffalo" was a protective street armor designed from what seemed to be a hyper stylized marriage of 30's thug-wear, and contemporary elastic dance skin. I'm not sure if the Buffalo boys and girls ever made it big outside of the U.K., I've only seen the propaganda like fashion spreads from the early issues of "i-D Magazine", "Dazed & Confused", and "The Face" (R.I.P.). Nice to see a book that documents the look.

Morvern Callar is a 21-year-old supermarket worker from a small port town in the West of Scotland.

Bob Richardson

Updated Oct 2, 2007

1st to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

Bob Richardson's hard cover is both charged with erotic intoxication and cult world glamour. One of the best covers I've seen from the world of fashion photography. It's the type of "what the f#%&$!" image that inspires as it infects and ruins, but on the high end of post hypnotic scale, not the lower end of consumer Richardson, meets "Vice Magazine" and "Last Night's Party" zone. I think it would have been exciting if the book was sealed in such a way that you'd think twice before attempting to enter the folds of the book, thus prolonging the taboo equation set up in this wicked cover photo--display it with abandon.


Book Description
Fashion photographer Bob Richardson (1928-2005) first began to publish his powerful, transgressive and emotionally charged black-and-white images in the high-fashion press of the 1960s, highlighting the new freedoms and attendant disillusions of the era in a distinctive, maverick style that matched his own edgy way of life. According to Cathy Horyn of The New York Times, ""Mr. Richardson's pictures were radical because, more than showing youthful fashion in a liberated way, they sought to expose the life dramas that were then consuming young people."" They were dark and conflicted, abject and suggestive, fleeting, broken, knowing and yearning. Always a cult photographer (and widely credited with influencing such peers as Peter Lindbergh, Steven Meisel and Bruce Weber), Richardson was also plagued by schizophrenia, and he lived hard-experimenting freely with sex and drugs throughout a life of extreme highs and lows. For example, he is perhaps most famous for the profoundly compelling portraits he made of his then-partner and muse Angelica Houston in the 1970s, while the 1980s found him homeless and living on the streets of Los Angeles. This highly-anticipated, beautifully-produced volume is the first ever dedicated to Richardson's oeuvre. Put together by his son, the equally renowned photographer Terry Richardson, it collects what remains of the original work, much of which was destroyed over the course of Richardson's unpredictable career.

Lynch on Lynch

Updated Oct 2, 2007

1st to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

The interview within "Lynch on Lynch" brought me into the hidden creative process which drives David Lynch's unique vision. As the subject of the interview Lynch doesn't give detailed answers regarding his creative, personal, or professional life, but rather givers straight and simple answers which remind me of zen answers, so basic and humble that it's easy to miss the true depth of his meaning,--no worries the substance of his humility resurfaces when viewing Lynch's actual art work, films, and photography. The desire to gain creative insight may be what draws one to read "Lynch on Lynch", yet once inside the book it's the storytelling of underground film school success to cinema icon that actually nourishes the reader. I felt that there is much charm and value in David Lynch's life stories, and in the end I felt like a well attended guest--a nice read.

David Lynch's distinguished career includes such films as "The Elephant Man", "Blue Velvet", "Wild at Heart"; "Last Highway"; and the seminal television series "Twin Peaks". Here, Lynch speaks openly about the full breadth of his creative work, which encompasses not only movies but also a lifelong commitment to painting, a continuing exploration of photography, extensive work in television, and musical collaborations with composer Angelo Badalamenti and singer Julee Cruise.

Jean-baptiste Mondino: Guitar Eros

Description

Mondino presents his guitar photographs created over the past twenty years as commissioned works or his own projects. They portray famous rock and pop musicians such as Mick Jagger, Madonna, Tom Waits, and Keith Richards; models and celebrities with guitars; and numerous anonymous guitar players. Central subject and the undisputed star of each picture, however, is the guitar itself.
