Diane Arbus

Diane Arbus worked with the fringe. She worked with "deviant and marginal people (dwarfs, giants, transvestites, nudists, circus performers) or else of people whose normality seems ugly or surreal"

I think this is a good place for her.

Edward Weston

Edward Weston was one of the biggest reasons I became interested in photography. I found a book of his work in a library when I was around 13 and have been taking pictures ever since.

One day I'll go to the desert where the man worked and find him.

Inaugural post.

Pretty stoked about the potential for this blog and all the shit we can share in one place. Let me know if you guys have any recommendations on the layout or settings (i.e. hate the header, fuck you Josh, I don't want to be a contributor, make this page private, eat shit Josh, change the colors, etc.). To start the blog off, I figured I would post a link to the flickr photostream of the photographer who inspired the header. Neil Krug has a book out now called Pulp that looks pretty fucking sweet. He's also a filmmaker. I thought this video for Ladytron's track Tomorrow was awesome too. I dig the part with the flying jellyfish and the dandelion.
