jakestangel: thefosters-onabcfamily: How do YOU define family?...

How do YOU define family? Don’t miss the premiere of ABC Family’s groundbreaking new series The Fosters TONIGHT at 9/8c!

Step 1.) Spend 1.1 billion dollars on a company.
Step 2.) Begin running wholly untargeted ads to your user base
Step 3.) Begin to alienate your products most voracious users.
Kinda mind blowing that tumblr and yahoo are blowing it so early in the game. I don’t mind an occasional ad (family’s gotta eat), but seriously, couldn’t you guys do some fucking market research first? Every ad I’ve seen so far is for a product/show is so off-target for me and most all my peers. Cat gifs for Home Depot and now this. Amazing that this much money can be spent for such sloppy usage. I’m not jumping ship but this is how alienation of your core users start.

Couldn’t have said it any better.

Finding Vivian Maier - Official Movie Trailer

“Picture this: quite possibly the most important street photographer of the 20th century was a 1950s children’s nanny who kept herself to herself and never showed a single one of her photographs to anyone. Decades later in 2007, a Chicago real estate agent and historical hobbyist, John Maloof purchased a box of never-seen, never-developed film negatives of an unknown ‘amateur’ photographer for $380 at his local auction house.”

geordiewood:

This month, in our annual Photo Issue, The FADER is publishing a feature on the epidemic of youth violence in Chicago, photographed by Daniel Shea. It’s no exaggeration to say this has been one of the most fulfilling projects that Daniel and I have ever worked on.

The feature is live online today. Over the duration of the week four extended edits will be posted along with conversations between Daniel and I.

This essay was a deviation from past photo issues. Instead of publishing preexisting work we decided to commission one large essay with ambitious goals. Our choice to shoot on the ground in Chicago stemmed from the idea that the violent rhetoric that permeates contemporary rap music has a human cost that is too often overlooked. The FADER and many other magazines covering new music feature musicians that propagate cultures of violence (like Chief Keef, who Daniel shot for The FADER’s cover less than a year ago). With the magazine’s audience of young people in mind, we wanted to face that head on.

What resulted is 16 pages of photographs and a Q&A with veteran Chicago reporter Alex Kotlowitz. We aimed to depict what life in the South Side is like for young people, through individuals affected by violence, those participating in it and the grassroots effort to curb the spread of retaliatory crime which seems to have no end.

I would like to personally thank Daniel, my friend, for his incredible effort and determination working on this project, as well as the staff and publishers of The FADER for believing in it and to the men and women of CeaseFire who opened countless doors for us. Please spread the word and consider donating to their incredible effort.

This is incredible. Great job shedding light on this subject. Great images by Daniel as well.

Photographers questions to Bill Eggleston

- Alec Soth, photographer, Minneapolis: “A few years ago Robert Frank said, “There are too many images, too many cameras now. We’re all being watched. It gets sillier and sillier. As if all action is meaningful. Nothing is really all that special. It’s just life. If all moments are recorded, then nothing is beautiful and maybe photography isn’t an art any more. Maybe it never was.” What do you think about this?”

- William Eggleston ” I don’t disagree with any part of that statement”.

- Martin Parr, photographer, Bristol: “What is the difference between your current
shooting and that of the 1970s?”

- William Eggleston “The subject-matter is different.”
