Favourite photographers from Flickr 2

Another mosaic made out of my favourite photographs from other photographers :)
(Part 1 here)
It’s good to be able to favourite photos; it’s like curating a treasure box and it makes me understand what kind of photos I like. But it’s also depressing at the same time; that I am nowhere near their awesomeness.

This is from a while ago.. for White Rabbit Press. I was told that this one and others artists’ designs will be distributed with the kanji flashcards - 10000 of them, but I haven’t heard or seen anything. Let me know if you spot it.

Art outings

2e1e-170.jpeg
“Mobile Art in Tokyo -Chanel Contemporary Art Container by Zaha Hadid” Exhibition
Venue: National Yoyogi Stadium Olympic Plaza Tokyo
Schedule: From 2008-05-31 To 2008-07-04
Mon - Thur 11:00-18:40 (Doors close at 17:40), Fri & Sat 11:00-21:20 (Doors close at 20:20), Sun 10:00-18:20 (Doors close at 17:20), Doors close at 16:40 on May 31st (Sat)

This is so much FAIL in so much ways. This is absolutely terrible. For the following reasons, in order:
1. pretty much had no PR, and didn’t know about it until a few weeks into it
2. tickets are free but you have to reserve online, making brokers selling tickets in ebay for ridiculous prices
3. you can go in at 11am and reserve a ticket for 2pm for the day (at this point, it had better be really good, right?)
4. “please no smoking and no pets inside” “please tie your hair back to wear the headset” ?!?!
5. a 40 minute guided audio tour of an annoying woman’s voice going “now climb up the stairs.. one.. two.. three..”
6. no exciting artwork
7. basically a big Chanel promotion, or rather, a promotion of big expensive brands promoting “art”
8. again, no exciting artwork, I kind of liked the architecture though, but you can see it from outside.
Don’t waste your time!

Kayo Ume “Mr. Granpa”

Venue: Little More Chika
Schedule: From 2008-06-17 To 2008-07-21
Open on July 21st (Mon), Closed on July 22nd (Tue), Closes at 18:00 on July 4th (Fri) & 18th (Fri)
Address: B1F, 3-56-6 Sendagaya, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo 151-0051

Ume Kayo is a young Japanese photographer, got famous for taking photos of boys doing the boy things. They’re all so charming. The exhibit was photos of her grandpa, who is equally cute.

I went with Patrick from formerly MyLittleDeadDick, who takes quirky sexy photos that I absolutely dig.

Photographs that actually tell a story is much better for your soul than those who are just famous for being famous.
