I went to see the Robert Doisneau exhibition at the Kyoto Station Art Gallery today and it made me want to live in Paris AND become a black and white photographer. Robert Doisneau really knew how to wait for the perfect moment and he knew where to wait too. Pure genius. Every picture is a [...]

The Daily Show ran this short piece last week on just how dumb and tantrum prone Sarah Palin is:

Basically the critics accuse her of being stupid, ill-educated and prone to tantrums. Sarah Palin has since hit back by calling them “jerks” and saying “it’s not fair“… thereby pretty much proving their point. Well, one thing [...]

These are a couple of photos I took today, which I’m not entirely satisfied with, but I think you can see what I’m stretching for…

Just a quick post today. I received a mail earlier from Be Ward (one half of ethnic fusion collaborators “South”) about an upcoming launch party for their new CD and also that Tamara is going to have another photo exhibition next month. Sadly I can’t make it to the launch party myself but I figured [...]

On Tuesday I went to a photography exhibition by みやっち and Tamara Burlando. Tamara’s photography was of Bangalore street children who are participating in the “Born Free” art program there. It’s worth a visit, but be quick because it finishes on August 13th. You can see it at the Dohjidai Gallery on Sanjo (between [...]
