“We have learned to trust the photographic image. Can we trust the electronic...”
– — Wim Wenders, A Notebook On Clothes and Cities, 1989 (via Just focus) This statement is from 1989, before the world-wide-web or the first digital camera (The Kodak DCS100) were created. It’s accurate in some ways, though deceptive — the conversation about the aura of an image, particularly...

Take a Stroll…with Rob Delaney - On Hating Gay...
I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Musical Theater from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts. I studied jazz, tap, and ballet for years. I’m terrible at sports and I’m an excellent chef. I think Judy Garland is sublime. I realize those facts are like a spacious warehouse of red flags broadcasting homosexuality, but the fact is, I’m straight. If I had to guess, the chief indicator that I’m straight is...

Your Beautiful Pictures Are Stupid: Against Trendy... →
“But we have learned to “think” in images this way. These are romantic and really somewhat infantile image techniques. They’re childish and nostalgic. They’re about sunny days and buzzing bees and reading books on a porch, and about road trips and romanticizing urban grime and being oh so gently alienated. And really, it’s gross. …Actual analog film...
