if you haven't made it to the international center for photography for
a while, now is a fantastic time to change that pattern. from now right

contemporary international photo + video work.

the exhibition will close their 2009 year of fashion, and centers around
the themes and use of style, image and personal presentation. there is
great exploration of what image making today means and all that
comes along with it. from explorations of identity, to the production
and consumption of images the exhibition covers the whole spectrum.
as a member of the photographic industry it is something relevant to us
all, whether or not fashion is your focus.

where the wild things are

if you haven't already heard about spike jonze adaptation of
'where the wild things are' consider this a polite nudge to check it out.

chances are if you have heard, you've been watching this trailer over
and over again in anticipation of the october 16th release date.

director spike jonze's latest venture has been an ongoing source of
controversy and it seems, hopefully, the film may have escaped
relatively unscathed from the threats of multiple cuts and edits.

jonze's motivation behind the project: "to make a movie about what
it feelslike to be 9 years old -- that was my simple intention."

we could all do with a little time out from reality, and this is a more
enriching way to get that. be ready to brave the crowds though, with the
buzz surrounding this release there are sure to be queues.

banksy

his website refers to him as "the british street artist with an

international reputation."

whether or not you appreciate his work he has undoubtedly

reached a level of infamy that only few artists ever will. his last

show at the bristol city museum and art gallery saw 300,000

visitors over 12 weeks.

supposedly born out of bristols aerosol boom of the late 1980s

bansky has been making himself heard for a substantial amount

of time, and makes no suggestion he'll be fading off anytime soon.

check some of his new work on his site:
