Errata Editions

Just saw these new books at the Strand the other day, a (hopefully) ongoing series of reproductions of famous (and prohibitively expensive) photography books. I'm so happy to be seeing such a well designed package making good art more accessible to people:

From Eugene Atget's Photographe de Paris

From Walker Evans' American Photographs

Slinkachu

I'm so excited because I finally got the book of London artist Slinkachu's work! He places tiny people all over London in various states of loneliness, despair, or insignificance. Luckily you can see most if not all of the images on his blog but you'll want to have the book handy after EMPs wipe out all your electronics.

I'll be putting my copy on my bookshelf between Banksy's Wall and Piece and White's Mistress Masham's Repose...

What I Did Over My Winter Vacation

1. I got up close and personal with an owl at my friend's film shoot

2. I downloaded 4 very promising gigs of breakdancing music

3. I took weird pictures of my pets with a flashlight in the dark




4. I bought a perfectly fitting cashmere suit for $15 that I want to wear every day

5. I heard the new Alicia Keys song on the radio and liked it a lot although Prince needs to add a guitar solo over it. Plus in the video she's at my favorite place to sit by the river in Brooklyn! (Unfortunately Common is in it too and he's lame)

6. Oh, and I became Godfather to Finnian "Finn" Autumn Brown but because of my atheism I've negotiated my title into "Honorary Uncle."
