top hats and overcoats


"Brothers Grim" for New York Times' Style magazine
photographed by Mathew Brookes



i wish we dressed in the styles of Victorian england again
.. extravagant balls to be attended by women contained in corsets and ridiculously large dresses
escorted by men with canes and top hats..
yes i could do with that.

december - christmas is in the ads


♪ jingle bells, consumerism smells, i've been seeing christmas ads since june... ♫


well it's finally december, christmas ads are going to bombard us like there's no tomorrow (or rather, like it's almost tomorrow. and tomorrow is called christmas.)
i hope they get a little creative this year and stop feeding us the generic kid looking at a tree, white family smiling and laughing crap
c'mon people.

list 1.

compiling a list of good photography magazines (that aren't just ads for nikon and cannon)
and thinking
how nice it would be if i could actually buy the things and support


click name to go to website..


shots magazine
much conceptual, vintage, indie type work.(:

AG
fancy-shmancy. for the pros
UK photography mag. features a couple of photographers per quarterly issue, along with a review of their work by well-known authors

FILE
"a collection of unexpected photography"
the website itself features a lot of work from various artists as well

jpg
it's not only the name of a file, it's the name of a magazine.(;
not only do you get an amazing magazine, you get a loaded website :D
ex.: featured stories (from anything from a photographers story on their set to advice about what to do when people approach you when you're taking pictures of their stuff)
themes open to submission and voting (winners will be in next publication)

tomate de arbol
argentinian visual arts magazine (don't worry, it's translated into english as well)
recently created, so i can't say too much but so far it's got a relaxed indie vibe

posi+tive magazine
no, it's not a boring feel-good pop magazine, its another indie style photography magazine
oh, and it's italian. ;D
this current issue (no.4) displayed sets of pictures created by a photographer (i.e. desicive moment, around, dude&dudette)
i should mention that, unfortunately, they aren't able to translate everything in the magazine
however, the website is in english! <= it's not about the mag really, it had music, fashion, and all that cool stuff(: more lists..
