Hungry Like the Wolf

Thanks to the geniuses behind the video game Rock Band (and the new expansion Rock Band 2), I once again find myself getting stuck on songs that I have no business remembering. One in particular is that all time favorite of yours and mine; Duran Duran's Hungry Like the Wolf.

So, since my mind is now plagued with this 80's music nightmare, I figured I'd leave you with some images loosely associated with the subject matter: FOOD.

I find that the shape, color and texture of food makes for interesting possibilities for unique compositions. A large part of my undergrad work involved food (and its ability to decompose). It was a very smelly endeavor but luckily I had some very awesome professors that supported the stink-fest.

Here is Irving Penn's take on FOOD

the Enchanting Work of Peter Gasser

I've always enjoyed the works of creative minds (and eyes) of image makers such as Edward Curtis, who dedicate(d) their lives to capturing the world's diverse cultures, customs and people. With that in mind I would like to share some works by Peter Gasser; a photographer that I hope to learn more about.

Focus Please

When blurry photos happen to beautiful people.

I am observing a recent trend of bad photographers trying to pass off blurry pictures as "SOFT FOCUS" photos.

There is a distinct difference between the two.

Here is an example of a blurry photo that some photographer is trying to pass of as a work of a professional.

Please beware.
