I wish I had a digital.

There are certain things about winter that I haven't minded so much. Remember that ice storm? I loved the way the trees sounded in the wind, like they were all about to break apart and shatter. Oh, and wasting film. And friends. Always fun.

Under water viewing.

Like I've said before, I think Lomo cameras can be pretty fun. But I've decided to stop wasting film because the only time I think they come out well enough is at parties. Then again, I'm not a photographer.

pictures of you.

**Lynn, I'll get the one's from Turtle Island soon!

My "should be studying for midterm" artist feature blog.

For my birthday, Nathan gave me a Lichtenstein print that always made me laugh and also a Pierre et Gilles 52 week planner. I was in desperate need of a planner and this one comes with over 50 of Pierre et Gilles works.

I want to call Pierre et Gilles a French-artist-gay-power-couple, only because I currently lack proper articulation. Pierre is a photographer and Gilles a painter, they began collaborating in 1976 in Paris producing "highly stylized" photographic images. Many of the pieces remind me of those little Catholic idol and Saint cards. I first learned of them while on CocoRosie's website and being obsessed with pseudo (and real) religious imagery I found them quite interesting.

Pierre et Gilles
if you can read French...

post script: I wish I had the energy to write in more detail [and like a true art historian], but frankly, I'm burnt out.

I know we suffer for fashion or whatever.

One of the dangers of blogging lies in the possibility that Carlos already blogged about this artist and some people (assuming I have readers) already read about him. I suppose it's a risk I'll take. Being a poor girl with rich girl dreams, I love Marc Jacobs, and it was through his ads that I discovered photographer Juergen Teller. Though people may scoff at the 35mm point and shoot method he employs, I have to admit I'm a fan. Supposedly he is credited for the heroin chic trend? I don't know, but I can't argue against it. Regardless, his work seems to be an integral part of the fashion industry. I'm not fashion forward at all, and am still in search of a personal stylist that will work for free and on a budget, so excuse me for sounding like an amateur.
