Concrete Web by Nicola Yeoman
Frightening and beautiful at the same time. Like a bad dream suspended in the mind.
Nicola Yeoman - "I guess I have grown up as a bit of a magpie, making things, collecting
junk, assembling, making dens. I have had an unconventional background
as I didn't study art, it’s more something which comes instinctively to
me...... Last year I moved into a massive studio, and this has really given me
more freedom than ever to mess around and explore different ideas. Some
ideas work and I develop them further, and others I abandon. But I have
the space to be working on a couple of things at once, and to leave
them, keep coming back and changing them, much like the the dens of my
youth."

David Foldvari's illustrations
I love black&white photography and illustration. I like the mix of Foldvari's precise drawing style mixed with ink scratches, drips and blotches. They bring to mind the photographs of Bellocq who scratched out the faces to protect the identites of his subjects. For more of Foldvari's work check out www.davidfoldvari.co.uk

Latest Crush
Having trouble choosing whether to get the Kelly or the Nina marble bag from Bengt. Perhaps one should have a matching pair. Tralala...
Gone to the dogs.
Staying with the canine theme, may I introduce my mum's dog Tyler. Very high on the cuteometer. I think Thomas captured his best side.
Its a dog's life
Theron Humphreys series of photos of his dog Maddie stood on things is a beautifully simple idea well done. Sweet, funny, the light and composition are perfect. If only this website could go on and on. Click on the link to see them all and order prints.

Lorenzo Durantini - "I am interested in freeing up space between figuration and abstraction.
The tension between recognising meaning while interrogating its very
possibility has pushed me to the periphery of representation. My work
explores the detritus of the photographic studio through playful
sculptural interventions that question its role as a site for the
construction of meaning. I am interested in how carefully destructive
processes can reveal the hidden histories and expected lifespans
inscribed into everyday objects. My current interests include
photographic materiality, the architecture of the studio, immanence and
emancipatory desublimation."

Wisconsin Death Trip
A set on Flickr of these amazing shots featured in the book Wisconsin Death Trip
Text is from Flickr page...
Wisconsin Death Trip
This set includes a selection of photographs produced by Charles Van Schaick between 1890 and 1910 that were used in the book Wisconsin Death Trip by Michael Lesy (1973). The book has been reprinted several times and in 1999 James Marsh directed a film adaptation of the book, which was filmed in Wisconsin.
About the Photographer
Born in 1852 near Rochester, New York, Charles Van Schaick moved with his family to the vicinity of Portage where he later taught school. He learned photography after moving to Jackson County, and in 1885 opened a studio in his wife's home town, Black River Falls. There he was town photographer for fifty-seven years. His work includes both studio portraits and richly varied and intimate snapshots of small-town life.
There are approximately 5,600 glass plates in the Charles Van Schaick collection preserved at the Wisconsin Historical Society and the Jackson County Historical Society.
