hermes – koto bolofo

ok, i’m really into seeing what’s in the back of brands, studios or people’s place. a voyeur bad habits that i share with a lot of people around considering the success of the selby or all the campaign that used him lately. so this is where the issue is, i’m growing very tired of
seeing brands jumping at every trends. it’s been two or three years that the selby guy is used over and over again in every possible way… come on guys! anyway hermes is doing what they done for many more years than the others and in a far subtler and classier way. it’s shot by koto bolofo and it’s published by steidl… can’t go wrong. more. by pp.


glenn gould

“march 1955, columbia recording studio, ny — canadian pianist glenn gould playing concert grand piano, as he records the bach goldberg variations.  the sound engineers & director are following score as they look on from glassed in booth.  note the boomed mike doubling as gould’s coatrack.

“march 1955, columbia recording studio, ny — close-up of 22 yr old canadian pianist glenn gould’s hands while he removes the two layers of gloves he wears even (in the summer) to keep his hands supple for performing.”

kurt

i know nirvana was really big in the us and i can’t really think about any young person growing here that is not talking about how they were into it at the time. anyway, never was so much of a fan of the music but i have to admit the dude was cool!  by pp.
