jacques henri lartigue – master of the snapshot
looking back at jacques henri lartigue photographs recently, i was smitten by the snapshoty aspect of it. and actually it makes total sense, at the time photo was only for technical usage as well as rich people that could afford it. and lartigue was not only rich but he was young and has plenty pf time to laugh around. so the prohibitive price of a single snapshot had people only doing contrived picture, when jacques henri was snapping around. somehow, there is this kind of fresh and great aspect to his work that you see a lot those days on blogs and candid shot photographers portfolio. not sure if the vintage aspect makes me not being really objective, yet he seems to remain the master. love it! by pp.
horace andy: dance hall style
great album produced by bullwakies, the prince of dub – not in kingston but in bronx nyc. by dd
TIN TIN AND MILO: AT A netflix NEAR YOU
shame on french directors marc caro and jean-pierre jeunet (city of lost children) for not taking this on first leaving it to hollywood and spielberg to kakk this up. that said, i’ll probably check it out but not in theaters. that venue is reserved for proper films by lynch, godard, the coen brothers, wes anderson, and a handful of others. by dd
chuck prophet: age of miracles
just for pp: “if i were a pussycat with lots of pussy hair, i’ll put you in my pocket and take you everywhere… that how much i need your love…” album art by someone really famous. by dd
SURF ROYCE: SURFING IN STYLE
great vibe by brit photog magnus reed. some of his men’s work is really great, others quite lifestyle-y and less inspired. but you cant be right all the time or you’d be george bush. by dd
DJ’S are sooooo lame… well they used to be at least
wholly shit its mark ronson on the decks again…. thats hilarious!! actually, i don’t mind mark, i like the clip he did with amy winehouse or vise versa, don’t want him to be coming here commenting on “who is dd? can i have a speak with him outside please.” by dd

great idea on this advert for ear plugs. smart and simple. by xy
THIS’LL GIVE DENIS A RUN FOR HIS MONEY
beautiful image, wish we had seen this! unfortunately the credits were not available which is always a shame, with so many blogs (jjjjound included) who seem to take something and own it and don’t find it necessary to honor the original creator(s)… should anyone have any info please pass it my way via comments. enjoy. by dd
quote of the day : lazy sunday
how perfect, for a cloudy sunday afternoon. by dd
ed ruscha – cactus omelette
a little recipe to try over the week end, the cactus omelette from artistalicious ed ruscha! wallpaper mag asked several design people like tom ford, william eggelston, hussein chalayan… to provide them with their recipe, which they then shot. there is some really cool ones but ed’s is definetly over the top with the master’s instruction typed. check all the other ones. by pp.
the smiths – this charming man
i was never the biggest fan of the smiths (sometimes remind me of kate bush…) but i have to say i love the fact they used this photo of jean marais by jean cocteau without permission… even if the damn thing was taken out of circulation really quick and replaced with something else… and about the original artwork, well… it’s very the smiths 😉 by pp + ps
