may 21, 2011: jesus is coming… everybody look busy


so there is no question we are living in desperate times, where centuries of social evolution and intellectual discourse has been turned into complacency, backwards ideology, business propaganda, and religious zealotry. were the quest for a better social system has been replaced with what lady gaga wore to her dentists appointment. i for one was actually looking forward to today, and i’m a bit disappointed! that said at around 1pm i did see someone suspiciously  jesus like, glowing under the florescent lights, at whole foods. on second take i saw him shaking his head in disappointment in the organic fruit isle, the same apple that brought man to this state was sitting there in full organic glory… and was on sale! i myself was at the fish market, pondering which toxins to cook up for my last supper? the tuna steak with mercury that we’ve laced our oceans with, or the contaminated radioactive konago from the pacific. i finally settled for some cheap wine and bread, at least that was semi-official and blessed by the boss. but all this is not the main concern. while we’re busy spending our future like a pimp with a stolen carte blanché (sorry graydon for butchering your quote) hunting down one religious extreme the other 2 seem to be spreading like wildfire. i guess if man has finally decided to take this ancient route rather than education and the relentless desire to ask questions, the end might as well be welcomed. if nothing, jesus can surely straighten out glodman sachs… and just maybe, even world peace? well, its still 11:53, we have a few more minutes… if you don’t see another post from us, you know where to find us… penthouse b, at the edge of heaven.

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.

 


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

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
