Yet another early morning, half-blind, still life. Without my glasses on, this appeared, bleary-eyed and interesting, supporting my jumping out of bed to grab my camera from another room and attach a macro lens to it. While the post is titled “glasses,” both my glasses and the bottle behind are, in fact, made of plastics.
As always, I was as taken by the interior design and architecture at the Tate Britain as I was by the art shown there. Of course, the grandeur (and symmetry) of these temples of art makes a strong statement of its own.
I love the shadows on the wall with bright sunlight slanting through the Venetian blinds.
See a little about Penn’s cigarette butt images here.
Just imported the first set of images from my camera since returning to England and discovered a couple of last day stragglers from New York.
Not the “The Cotton Club [that] was a 20th-century nightclub in New York City… located on 142nd Street and Lenox Avenue from 1923 to 1936, then briefly in the midtown Theater District until 1940. [That] club operated during the United States’ era of Prohibition and Jim Crow era racial segregation. Black people initially could not patronize the Cotton Club.” more at Wikipedia.
I saw a great presentation by Ethan Hill, of ICP, at Soho Photo‘s new space last month. Nominally about lighting, it was really a tour of his editorial work ranging from Harper’s Bazaar to Newsweek and others, covering both the context to the images, and some of the creative thinking behind the compositions. He finished with some of his more recent artistic ventures. Soho Photo will probably put up video from the talk at some point in the future. The photographs behind him are by Chris Maliwat of Subwaygram fame, who introduced him.
