  • A Unique Photographic Tribute to Marilyn Monroe

    One of the photographers included in the show is Bert Stern, who photographed Marilyn famously. (Then again, what photographer of the era didn’t? You couldn’t lose with Marilyn.) For me, Stern’s pictures are the best, both sexy and tragic, and I’m including one here. --David Schonauer

  • Where to Go and What to See

    In Los Angeles, The J. Paul Getty Museum's dual exhibit of photographs by John Humble and P.H. Emerson also deals in juxtaposition. Humble's work is contemporary, Emerson's from the last century; Humble captures Los Angeles, Emerson the marshes of England's East Anglia. But both examine the constantly evolving relationship between man and his natural/urban landscapes. During Emerson's documentation, East Anglia was undergoing what he saw as a culture-damaging change from traditional agriculture to industrialization and tourism. Humble likewise documents the city of Los Angeles as well as the Los Angeles river, often focusing on the polar experiences visible in both.

  • America's Next Top Model Gets Violent--and Controversial

    Normally, my default mode is to defend artistic freedom from critics—but I can’t find any justification here. This feels like exploitation. Thoughts?

    I don’t happen to watch America’s Next Top Model on the CW network. (Okay, I’ve seen it, but only because I was flipping past it to get PBS. I found it to be pretty mean-spirited and couldn’t figure out who would watch it.) So I didn’t see last week’s episode, which has infuriated feminists.

  • Life is Over, Again

    This just in: Life magazine is dead. Again. The famed picture weekly folded in 1972 and was relaunched as a monthly in 1978, then folded again in 2000. In 2004 it was relaunched again as a Sunday newspaper insert. As you'll see here, the results were grim. In retrospect, launching a newspaper magazine at about the same time that the newspaper industry began imploding was...unfortunate timing. The newspaper version of Life was never much to speak of, but...boy, we'll never stop admiring that logo and all it has stood for.

  • With Their Cameras on Their Sleeves

    The idea is simple: Get a bunch of local photobloggers together so they can help each other, educate each other, support each other, and publicize for each other. And the execution is admirable, in the way you would expect from a bunch of technology-savvy New Yorkers: Nice, clean website including Yahoo Group postings, Flickr Group scrolling pics, Del.icio.us tags, and thoughtful posts from regular contributors.
