thanks to the eternally cool kim hastreiter from paper magazine, i have embarked on my quest to spread the news about an arts organization in san francisco named creative growth which promotes the work of an awe-inspiring artist named william scott (that’s his work below). i hope to photograph the artist himself later this month when i make my way to san francisco but until then, if you are interested in learning more about creative growth then check HERE
all those years of delicately tearing pages from magazines and ever-so-carefully sticking them upon my bedroom walls in australia way back in the day reached a pivotal turning point last night as i interviewed philip-lorca di corcia aka one of the most legendary photographers of our time. he’s pretty cocky this guy actually. case in point: he told me his favorite image from an exhibition of one thousand polaroids (currently on show at lacma) is one particular shot of male genitalia and then later confessed to not doing much by himself these days apart from taking naked snapshots of himself in hotel bathrooms a lot. um, interesting.

when i spotted jenny in LA yesterday her fantastic purple pants reminded me that real style is all about taking risks. sure, you can go out and score yourself a gang of magazines and talk the talk, wear the combinations, be directed etc. but the ensembles that grant you instant on the street-cred comes courtesy of risky thinking and in this field, jenny comes second to none.
