Daniel Arnold, DC 2017

posted January 23, 2017 #

I love the street photography work of Daniel Arnold. He has an uncanny knack for capturing the spirit and emotion of a particular scene, one can only assume highly covertly. He's posted around 40 images for Vogue that document the 2017 Inauguration and Women's March, a perfect juxtaposition for his sort of practice.

Keep an eye on his Instagram for a consistent flow of goodness and updates on when his new photo sets are posted.

Billy Eichner Is Trying To Talk To You

posted January 23, 2017 #

Before reading through this Vulture cover story, I assumed Billy Eichner was A) Canadian and B) as loud and insane as the characters he portrays. Turns out, he is neither. He's from New York and he's actually quite tempered. It's a lengthy interview but he has honest insight on every subject thrown his way (Writing & Acting, the Facade of Celebrity, Politics, Homosexuality & Coming Out) that's cut with just the right amount of attitude. I considered myself a casual fan before but I think I'm all in now.

Friday Videos - Jan 20th, 2017

posted January 20, 2017 #

I wrote a whole thing about Inauguration Day and then deleted it. And then put it back. And then deleted it again. I don't really want to go on about how horrible I feel about the incoming Administration* because I don't think anyone really cares. Those who agree with me, agree with me. Those who don't, never will. So, I'll just throw this out there: Please, look at this. Am I wrong in thinking there is a massive disconnect from reality? Okay, that's it.

I'm posting these Friday videos as a respite from the day. A distraction. Hopefully it works. Look at this delightful dog! Look at this hilarious slip! Look at these mesmerizing GIFs in Reverse! Listen to Smash Mouth in C!

* To be clear, I am not a sore loser that needs to "get over it" because I'd be fine with a conservative candidate defeating a liberal one. That's how Democracy works. It's this particular candidate winning that is so unsettling. As I mentioned here, I made the mistake of browsing Twitter replies last night and it's unsettlingly vitriolic. There are so many people lashing out and arguing over how Trump will bring our country back together. Let me repeat that - people are lashing out in a confrontational manner about how we're all going to come together under this new President. No sense of empathy. No sense of intelligence or compassion or understanding or even trying.

NYPL Protest Archive

posted January 19, 2017 #

The New York Public Library has a deep repository of scanned photographs. Take a deep dive into a search for Protest and you can see hundreds of images documenting civil opposition to the likes of the Vietnam War, Gay Rights, Civil Rights, the Board of Education, etc. etc. The list of ideas, decisions and people that have been openly opposed by American Citizens is long to say the very least.

With January 21st's Women's March on Washington just around the corner it's important to remember why people gather and protest. It isn't because they are "lousy losers" or need to "get over it" but because we live within a system where getting your voice heard requires it.

Twilight

posted January 19, 2017 #

Tons of great pieces from Norway photographer Øystein Sture Aspelund but start your journey with the Twilight series - a collection of images shot on expired film that has a grain and crustiness to it that really works quite nicely juxtaposed to the big open landscape subjects.

There really is a ton to see, so don't skip out on Hibernation, Pampa Futurism or Brasilia - beauties, every one.
