Wrong wrong wrong

I know its been everywhere like a rash, but I didn't pay much attention to this shoot until now. Todd Cole shooting Britney Spears for POP magazine. Drives me Wild. Not in a good way.
What I don't get is - ok I see the obvious Japanese anime / cutesy fantasy thing but WHY DID THEY INSIST ON MAKING BRITNEY LOOK LIKE AN AMPUTEE?
Jesus... get the poor woman to cross her legs or something. I can't even look at this photo because all I see is stumps stumps stumps.

P.s I don't have a problem with amputees, whatever man, but they could have made this soooo much more flattering and still gone with their theme.

And that was my rant.

Blog Haters

Isn't it interesting how so many people are anti- blog? I myself am anti particular blogs, but not all blogs are lame! Some are very entertaining and wild and interesting.

So Hear Ye Hear Ye blog haters! I like to blog. You may not. You might like to play guitar, or Playstation . Things I may not. So please refrain from saying that blogs are like, so totally lame and cliche unless you want me to burn you right on back.

On another note - Everyone should go and see an exhibition down in W(h)anganui called Ever Ever by the lovely James K Lowe. Amazing AMAZING photos that any bitch would be lucky to own, let alone create. I'm not fancy enough to do that bloggy-linky thing where I can link you to James' blog, but google him and check it out!

Sarah Edit: I am nerdy so here is James' blog.

Stuffs I like

Hello .
Something from my final year at uni that didn't go anywhere, but was fun to do. The babe is Rachel, and the wounds are fake. The boobs are real too.


Hello .

Unfortunately I lost all but two photos from this shoot, darn computer died. But anyway, this photo got me thinking about another photo that I saw recently, by a photographer named Sandy Kim. Now I'm not prude, a bit of nudity never hurt anyone, but ok ... I'm not going to post the photo because it goes against my blog ethics, but if you find her website and go to the XXX section I'm sure you will know which one it is. The photo, for some reason, really made me feel yuck. Maybe because I knew it wasn't fake blood, or a fake situation. That is some raw shit.
So this particular photo got me and some workmates a'talkin. If this particular photo by Kim was in a gallery, would I feel different?? I'm not sure, but either way, there is a line.. some things should be kept private.

Stuff I'm up to

Hello Blogosphere,
I haven't blogged properly is a long time, excuse me if this is terribly awkward.
Anyway, recently I have been workin on some stuff and shit, one of them being a Journal/ Concept book for New Zealand label sold in Ruby Boutiques, Madame Hawke. Two other photographers and I each came up with several photos based on a certain point of inspiration for the summer 2010/2011 range. I'm not sure when its available in-store but I will keep anyone who cares in the loop and let you know. Buy one!
This photo didn't make the cut, but I kinda like it.
Thanks to Sarah (y'all know her, right?) and the lovely Kat for modelling.

Two things
1- I wish my life was like these pictures
2- I like staying at home because it means I can do all the blogs I have been saving up.

oh wait, three things!
Third thing - Did you guys know that Sarah has a photo blog, all the cool stuff she comes across in her interweb travels. Check it out!

Can't stop looking at these

I know polaroids are like, sooo indie or whatever, but I actually really REALLY like these photos regardless. Maybe it helps. I don't know, but I really like these. I particularly like the crab one, as I like the Karen Walker Crab necklaces, and also the creepy kind of psychedelic image of the three guys..
Anyway this guy is called Mikael Kennedy,apparently he took a trip around the states and came out with over 300 polaroids. You can see why I posted so many, because it was so hard to choose from!

Grace Coddington + Annie Leibovitz =

From upcoming Dec Vogue. Other ones also include Lady Gaga, but I can't handle the bitch, so if you want to see those look them up yourselves fellas. These are very Annie Liebovitz and to be honest, I was getting a bit sick of the whole Vanity Fair-esque shoots Liebovitz churns out, but these I do like. Yay!

Stefanie Fiore

Courtesy of jealousCurator - Stefanie Fiore. I like these photos, in fact, as much as I love our palace, I wish this was our house.

Sum-meh

Summer seemed to be slowly creeping around the corner today. But by the time I got my lazy ass to a pool, it had clouded over again. Great. Amber had these photos up on her blog and they would have totally complimented my, obviously premature, summery day. Clouds are so overrated, get rid of them already sky!

Blog makeover

Despite both of us being totally brain-drained right now, we have managed to give our little blog a little makeover.

Also, here are three of my favorite William Eggleston photos.




I wish everyday of my life looked like these photos. This is all I can muster out of me right now.
