fantastic. love "margret" & her gazes back to the camera; the obsessively chronicled banal/poignant details by the unseen unreliable photographer; that amazing hair. wish they'd publish another edition of the book someday
In September 1970, the diary entries set in, with precise descriptions of what happens during foreplay and then of the sexual act itself, but also mentioning all kinds of things happening besides. All this is meticulously typed, in red and black ink, as by a bookkeeper of his own obsession. The couple go on "business trips" in Günter's Opel Kapitän, stay at spa hotels and visit the casino in Wiesbaden. Then the trysts begin to take place in an attic flat in Günter's store building. Nobody is supposed to know, but people must notice something. Margret prepares roulades and redfish filets with cucumber salad. They drink Cappy (orange juice) with a green shot (Escorial, strong liquor) and watch "colourful television." Margret dresses for him in the clothes he has bought her. He, the perfect lover, in truth is a macho man who wants to have everything under control. She enjoys his attention, his generosity, is happy to let herself be manipulated, is jealous, becomes pregnant despite the pills, and has an illegal abortion − for the third time in her young life. Just before Christmas 1970 the reports and photographs break off. The relationship appears to be at an end. Margret is scared. She tells him that "after Christmas the fucking will be over and you will not dance at two weddings anymore." He gets involved with other women. These are no love stories, though, just obsessive sexual romps, chronicled nonetheless in hundreds of grotesque documents testifying to the stuffy German milieu in the early years of the Kohl era.

yeah, fascinating stuff, thanks gr80. margret's hair really is extraordinary, and that picture of her against the red flock wallpaper is perfect.

hirano takaci’s “etude" reminds me a bit of rinko kawauchi's "cui cui"
much as i love photobooks, there’s different potentialities to the longform photo diary as genre (and other internet forms, cf. ilp favorites unchanging window & internet history)
been thinking of different genres/ media for organizing/ presenting photographs
there’s nothing like the intimacy of a book, or the look of a photograph on a page (screen images don’t invite you to linger, quiet & still, don’t entrance like printed images do— i think)
yet i resist/ resent “projects” as organizing principle
maybe internet provides more freedom to juxtapose, essay in different ways— diaries (not necessarily personal), poems, short stories, doodles, stray thoughts, discontinuous glimpses
on the other hand, maybe internet enforces regime/dichotomy of photographic projects vs democratic flickriver, so most photobooks now are “projects” realizing “artist statements”

I like these photos but there's something that's been annoying me for a while. I see a lot of art photography, including on Flickr, Tumblr etc., where in among, say, a series of ten landscapes and enigmatic street scenes there will be one seemingly random shot of a dog, either looking out of a car window (or generally staring, bug-eyed, at the camera) or (as above) doing something odd. I think they are almost always dogs of a certain type (as in the above photo, terriers and other, similar dogs that have pointy heads/faces and large eyes relative to the size of their heads). Where did this meme come from? Is it just a recent thing or has it been around for decades? I don't like it.
I think that's partly because I don't like dogs anyway, but also because I don't find the shots funny or meaningful, and there appears to be this bandwagon where people have to have one of these shots (to add some 'anarchic' quality to a series?). Having said that, the above example is less objectionable than many, because it's TWO dogs, they're NOT staring at the camera or leaping towards it, and what they're doing -- in terms of physical pose/juxtaposition with each other -- is somewhat visually interesting. It's still borderline for me, though.

I'm ok with other animals (I have a particular fondness for photos of horses) but it's pointy-faced, bug-eyed dogs I don't like. I like the above two photos; they don't have any grotesqueness about them.

how do you feel about elliott erwitt's dog bictuers?
― 龜, Saturday, 11 July 2015 13:49 (eight years ago) link
From a quick glance, I'm ok with them. They are much more subtle. Affectionate, not grotesque.
My original question was where did the meme come from, and I am wondering if what I don't like is a fairly recent distortion of an older meme. I notice that a lot of the people on the HCSP group on Flickr (who I detest) are into the version of this that I don't like. I find the way people are depicted in street photography often to be grotesque, as well, so maybe it's the same with how they use dogs.
― dubmill, Saturday, 11 July 2015 14:12 (eight years ago) link
i feel like cruising a flickr group you detest is super unhealthy, like it's a photo-centric comments thread plunge. i don't really know what street photography is, now, feels like a very grey internet zone to get tangled up in.
― tender is the late-night daypart (schlump), Saturday, 11 July 2015 14:23 (eight years ago) link
I don't spend any time cruising it, although I've looked at it in the past. I avoid it now because both the photos and the discussions make me angry.
Here's an example of what I don't like (from that group):
https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7371/14149098572_e92b25857f.jpg
It's a different type of dog breed to the usual but otherwise fits.
― dubmill, Saturday, 11 July 2015 14:31 (eight years ago) link
After all that, I'm having trouble finding photos with the exact kind of dog doing the exact kind of thing I don't like. But this is kind of what I'm talking about (again, different dog type -- not a terrier):
https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8475/8079062332_1bd61dde24.jpg
I'll shut up now as it's getting off-topic (and really quite far removed from the photo in the series Drash posted).
― dubmill, Saturday, 11 July 2015 15:10 (eight years ago) link
like half of photos in that group look like alex webb
i feel like cruising a flickr group you detest is super unhealthy, like it's a photo-centric comments thread plunge
so true
but maybe worse when involves some attraction with repulsion (otherwise wdn't be so irritating; tropes & cliches-- in word or image-- wdn't be so grating if there wasn't some thread of recognition/kinship)
much of contemporary 'street photography' genre/ groups irritates me too, but not easy to articulate why
maybe it's not photos themselves so much as experience of looking at them in form of unindividuated stream of images
― drash, Sunday, 12 July 2015 13:40 (eight years ago) link
dubmill i think the one you posted from hcsp it's obvious why it was chosen - the twinning of the expressions on the dog and women's face, and the fortuitous inclusion of the peace sign (i can imagine the commenters in that group pointing out the 'dog' sign on the upper left corner too)
but i agree it's uninteresting
it seems the current mode of street photography is obsessed with the grotesque and the maximal
photography by inclusion and addition (they have never heard of addition by subtraction, or when they do, the results are very geometric and abstract and similarly competent but glossed over)
