The Music of Bruce Weber
February 1, 2010 – 10:44 pm
Legendary fashion photographer Bruce Weber is full of music. Witness the jazzy, balletic expressionism of his pictures, the soulful fabric of his films—including the Chet Baker bio Let’s Get Lost—and you see it.

A great interview with a man who consistently gives great interviews, in a publication, which, with all the fondest adolescent memory, does not.

Boarding House: An Interview with Roger Ballen
November 17, 2009 – 5:51 am
Spending a night in Roger Ballen’s Boarding House is not for the faint of heart. Since the 1970s, Ballen has built his artistic career upon twisted, soul-wrenching photographs that depict South Africa’s pain and poverty through a distorted, dream-like lens and through his new book, named for an abandoned Johannesburg warehouse-turned-impoverished residence he dubs “the [...]
