The Selby visits Michael and Thomas

Todd Selby has a blog called The Selby. It features photographs, paintings and videos by Todd Selby of interesting people in creative spaces...It's kind of homemade but I think very well done and insightful. He recently visited Michael Stipe and Thomas Dozol. Take a look!

I have more to write about here (and photograph) take a look and I'll be back when I have some better quality free time.

ps - has anyone noticed the "statistics & data" section at the bottom of the you tube videos - there's links (and click numbers) to the sites that have linked to the video. Makes for some fascinating reading:

William Eggleston and Jimmy Carter

I never knew the backstory from this. I've had Mr Wenner kill a few stories.

Just before the election of 1976, Eggleston received a commission from
Rolling Stone magazine to photograph presidential candidate Jimmy Carter, his family, and their hometown of Plains, Georgia. Carter was away campaigning while Eggleston was there photographing, however, so none of the images show the politician. Although the magazine never printed the photographs, the following year Election Eve was published in two volumes containing one hundred chromogenic prints, taken in Plains and the surrounding area.

Keith Loutiti

This was on Paul Melcher's blog last month - but I thought it worth posting here as well. Sydney-based Photographer Keith Loutiti uses tilt shift lenses on a still camera and time lapse to make these very interesting 3-minute videos. The forced perspective and lack of focus combines very nicely with the time lapse and it's well worth a look. see all is work on vimeo here - (make sure to watch in full frame mode)
