Rugs aren’t as cheap as you assume they should be.
especialy since it seems that you can pick up a small one for about 5 bucks, but a larger one goes into the $100’s.
Luckly some craft genius put two and two together and made one of her own. Although this is a stealable idea, her makeshift rug looks like a few well sewn place mats.
No time, today. Been cookin’ up a storm to stop my brain from spinning….more of a pulsating feeling.
whatever.
I just found myself intranced with these stories behind how these photographers got their toughest shot.
“I took this picture the moment we realized we were sinking. It was 1999 and I was in the hold of a 25-foot handmade sailboat with 44 Haitian immigrants. Water started pouring in and David, the man looking at the camera, said, “Chris, you’d better start taking pictures, because we only have an hour to live.” I was 29, trying to capture a journey of immigrants who risk everything to reach America. That I could die here hadn’t registered until this moment. All I could do was take photographs as a reflex, a way to deal with my fear, even though I assumed the pictures were going to die with me. We were saved by a Coast Guard cutter that happened upon us. It made me understand that taking photographs is as much about explaining the world to myself as it is about explaining it to other people.”
Ready to have your day unmade? Chuck Biscuits passed away on October 24th. Biscuits played drums for D.O.A. through their best years. Also played for a slew of other greats such as Danzing, Black Flag, and Circle Jerks.
EDIT: Kidding. dood is apparently still alive. Gave me a good reason do revisit Hardcore 81 today, though.
Last week, Brooklyn Vegan let me take my favorite fancy Canadian and my camera on a pleasurable yacht ride along the river. Some would say that it was a night of cocktails, dancing, and beautiful music…
Fittingly enough, Bettina and her bag of curlers took refuge along grand piano and I spent the night having my bones beaten to a pulp at the front of the ship for a majority of it.
I was stoked to have gone to CMJs best show with the most fitting story.
Eyehategod, Pig Destroyer, and Goatwhore fill a boat to capacity during an torrential down pour and wreak havoc along the Hudson river.
So glad to see EHG and Goatwhore play and off of the personal perfect Pig Destroyer set list, only a few were left out. coughGravedancer, Pixie, Carrion Fairy, Phantom Limbcough
There were apparently a slew of drugs and fights happening along the ride but I guess that when I wasn’t looking at Mikes face, I was oblivious.
As represented 1:20 into this video (posted by William) from the night where, like a confused lab rat, I seem to have scurried in front of a very grumpy man right before an unfortunate/entertaining event.
More photos I took from the night can be seen here.
Max Snow is a photographer who I like very much.
He makes a connection with his subjects that allows us to see people commonly shunned in a more personal and real light. He must be a charming fellow, to be able to do that.
Although, I don’t know why someone would want to set this windmill on fire.
