What's going on here?
It's NESOP [the New England School of Photography]. Are you a student here? 'Cause this is my second year. Today was my first day back.

How's the first day treating you?
I'm working on my stuff for my major. I'm studying what I'd like to concentrate on. My first year had a lot of requirements. I like to do documentary and fine arts photography. I don't like commercial stuff.

Any photographers you like?
Andy Goldsworthy. He's a fine arts photographer. He does incredible sculptures. He was using nature as a part of his work. Natural elements, like the wind, affected his work. It would destroy but change his work into a new piece.

Can you name pieces of his you like?
Rivers and Tides.

What's so good about this awesome work?
What's so good about this awesome work? You get to see pieces of the intricate painstaking process of what's happening. You really get to see inside the whole creative processes. You usually don't get that intimate with someone.

What are you working on right now?
I'm hoping to do a documentary with my photography program in Guatemala. You just do a news piece on someone. Someone went to a brothel, like a prostitute. Prostitution is legal there. The film showed people putting on a condom and doctors checking patients for health effects-pretty intense piece. That's what I'm hoping to do. Show people and help people open their minds. That's what I want to do. Help speed up the understanding for people through the world of photography.

Attention Artists! Stop the Orphan Act!

By weeklydig on Mon, May 5, 2008 12:23 pm

Two bills were submitted to congress at the end of April — one to the House and one to the Senate — called the Orphan Works Act of 2008. Congress is looking to have this act passed and signed into law by George Bush by June 8, 2008, less than two months after it was introduced.

 

In a nutshell, this act may put many of you creative people in a tight spot when it comes to copyrighting your images and jeopardize long term royalties.

 


truly gay times at climacts... pop! benefit for the theatre offensive

By christine on Fri, May 2, 2008 5:07 pm

i had no idea what i was getting myself into last saturday at the theatre offensive's annual benefit, climacts ... pop! the blindingly neon invitation could only guarantee great things, so together my friend and i succumbed to this subterranean world of glittery swathes of makeup, adonis gyrations, reaaaaally strong ketel one cosmos and excellent chandelier earrings spilling from the lobes of artistic director abe rybeck.


ROFL'n all over the place

By E.T. on Fri, Apr 25, 2008 4:42 pm

As we all know, ROFLCon is underway in all its amazingness. And apparently everyone else is just as excited as we are, including Wired, Los Angeles Times and even the friggin Guardian. If you're lucky enough to be attending, make sure to stop by and see us at our table. We've got (what we think are) the most awesome T-shirts ever.
