National Museum of Women in the Arts

I recenlty joined a group on the social networking site Linkedin called Women in Photography. The group is meant to bring women photographers from around the world together to discuss new ideas, ask questions and network. One of the latest discussions was on the National Museum of Women in the Arts. I had no idea this even existed but it does and is located in Washington, D.C.

Check out the site for yourself, here, I might have to make a trip to D.C. sooner than later now.

Vintage Pentax LX Special Gold Edition, 1981

If yoo're wondering who still shoots film? I do. I love it and it's sad because so many people have gone digital that film is about to be a lost art. Moving on past my mini rant I really wanted to show off this Pentax camera I saw a picture of over on the ffffound.com blog. I wasn't even born yet when this lovely piece of photgraphic equipment was put on the market! And honestly, I've never been a Pentax fan but I would snatch this camera up in a heart beat. Yummm...

Hit Bush With a Virtual Shoe...

Geraldine Georges

I wanted to share with all of you the world of Geraldine Georges a Belgium graphic artist. Her work is amazing! It appears as if she draws inspiration from the female form. An image (mostly photographs) is manipulated and then incorporated with other elements into her pieces turning them into a mixed media piece. Georges website also shows her photography and has links to jobs she was worked on, one to note- The New York Times. Make sure you check out her website here for a deeper look into her work.

Com'on Man!

Remember cassette tapes? I still listen to them and just posted an old mix from a from a cassette by Mike the 2600 King over on the URB blog. Specail shouts to Normal Bias blog for hooking up the digitization of the cassette.

Black Snake Moan

A month or so ago Idle Warship invited people to come out and participate in the filming of the music video "Black Snake Moan," at Rehab. The video is all done and here it is! If you made it out to the shoot look for yourself.



Props to the sexy ladies in the crew Graph Nobel and Res! They look good in this video.

Choped and Screwed

I subscribe to the MAD Decent Pod Cast and the latest mix they have on is fuckin' reeeaaaalll good. I brought it over to my girls house on Sunday and we were listening to it and I mentioned something along the lines of how this would be some funky ass shit to F*%& to; she agreed and mention she was going to put it on when her man got home. *wink *wink... If you haven't listened to this shit get on and peep it here.

Get your duuurty ass groooooove on...

James Blagden

You may have already seen some of James Blagden's work if you're a fan of Frank 151, Wax Poetics, Mass Appeal (R.I.P. print version), Flaunt, King; these are just a few of the magazines that James has done work with. I happened to stumble upon his website via ffffound.com. They posted up an image that was used in KING Mag (see above) about one of Ohio's 'odd' laws, "OHIO STATE OF AFFAIRS WHY IT'S ILLEGAL TO WEAR PANTENT LEATHER SHOES IN THE OH."

Note to self, do not pack your patent leather pumps when visiting Ohio.

hahahahaa...
