Mirrors are definitely way cool and stores should just leave them out on the street & so that everybody's photography can be improved

^ so great

i am usually negative & never not conflicted about martin parr but i was just looking through the book of his aperture published, the non-conformists; it looks lovely, & reminded me, without seeming too derivative, of robert frank in wales.

those are wonderful. painful to imagine how cheap the rent on those places was

that is awesome. but I now feel very jealous.

ha
they're beautifully played off, too, though - the distressed, bare wall of that fort greene place. i've only seen these written up as apartment snooping shots but they're very beautifully composed; there are some double portraits, like classical, decoloured hockneys, & this kinda oscillation between busy flash & really neatly squared compositions. also they look so cool printed like that in the middle of the page.

yeah they are some of the ... craziest photo urls

I would buy a book of these

chinavision!, Tuesday, 14 January 2014 18:15 (ten years ago) link

but they definitely messed up some addresses!

otm, absolutely

incidentally i was just looking back at some of jamie livingston's polaroids; although their context probably makes assemblage kinda complicated, it's crazy they aren't in a book

another one I'd buy a book of in a heartbeat. I think about those a lot.

chinavision!, Tuesday, 14 January 2014 18:40 (ten years ago) link

yeah all the time. it's amazing being able to loop back to them & plunge into this slow-changing stream. they are like watching time pass, look:

really neat
the variations aren't really addressed but they seem so deliberate?

My intuition is that every time she bought new clothes she wanted to show them off

She would get dressed in her new threads

And choose the best background in her house

Which happened to be her TV, a symbol of wealth

they're really nice. i bristle when i see too kinda ... kitschy an old telephone, or any sort of chrome-fendered american vehicle hood, but at the same time it reminds me of how much of a template eggleston is for just most everything now, my pictures way more than hers really. they're great though.

craigslist mirrors is blowing up I think

Feel like could write a book about the lineage of masks in photography

Really want to get an Izumi Miyazaki tote bag btw

Also love the Vimeo in that pictures from moving cars, how they ran the tape in reverse

!!! i lost my shit seeing there is izumi merch - i didn't have a lot of time & my computer was wilting but the broccoli design was tentatively my pick - & couldn't totally figure out what the deal was; that maybe she has a new site that isn't quite up yet? there was a picture of a covered book, too, that made me wonder if she'd made something. her work is just the freshest thing. i really really want a print of the picture of her waking-&-dramatically-stretching in a messy bed, it's so inspirational to me

killer
think he is actually a way better photographer then!
like martin parr, maybe
even if his trajectory led him somewhere interesting & new

mustread guy (schlump), Monday, 10 February 2014 16:08 (ten years ago) link

how do i order one of those izumi pins

|$̲̅(̲̅ιοο̲̅)̲̅$̲̅| (gr8080), Monday, 10 February 2014 16:29 (ten years ago) link

i think she maybe has a new website online soon, & also did make a book, & sells it at fairs in japan. psyched that there is izumi-mania on ilp, we should group-order her everything once it's available to save on north american shipping (i haven't thought this through)

mustread guy (schlump), Monday, 10 February 2014 22:45 (ten years ago) link

Whoa now I'm not getting mine shipped to North America ; )
