Flaccid "Super Storm" Linkdump
Jeff Harris photographs himself or has people photograph him everyday, often famous people like Douglas Coupland or Alex Lifeson (the other guy in Rush besides Geddy & Neil).
Laurenz Berges studied with the Bechers in the 90s & works mainly with abandoned places. Not exactly the most original idea but well done anyway. More images here.
I like Robert Davies' misty landscapes. They remind me of some of Hiroshi Sugimoto's seascapes.
Do not be mislead by the U2 book on the first page. Schirmer/Mosel has published a lot of great books including the lion's share of the Becher's work (MIT Press has printed them domestically too) plus many of their students (Struth etc) & several Stephen Shore books. I discovered an interesting-looking book of polaroids by filmmaker Andrei Tarkovsky there.
Ex-physicist designs 4 gigapixel camera. He uses 9"x18" plates & scans them with some insane Leica scanner that's normally used for geoscientific imaging & NASA satellite photos. A roll of the Kodak film costs $1200.
Also from Wired News, somebody made a movie about Craigslist.
Everything JD Salinger ever published, collected & otherwise. Copy, paste & read. Thank you very much someone.
Photos from a Star Wars convention with captions.
Steve Albini recorded the newest High On Fire record.
The Village Voice's 2004 Pazz & Jop critic survey is out. Let the second round of catching up with last year's music begin.
A tiny digital projector for $700 bucks. The future is here.
