    Rus Khasanov

    Loving the work of artist Rus Khasanov, whose videos seem like 3D or animated films but actually are macro photographs and videos of paint, glitter, oil and water on reflective surfaces. Latest video is ‘heterochromia iridum’ with music by Pavel Zhigarev – the name coming from the variation of coloration in eyes. His other videos…

  • BUTCH

    BUTCH

    I love these portraits by Meg Allen from a series called BUTCH, exploring female masculinity and those “who relate to and claim the term BUTCH”. Really wonderful, and challenging the usual notions of gender and beauty since it includes those who are “bull-daggers, dykes, manly women and female husbands”, “baby butches, young studs, gender queers,…

  • Walking The Wrong Way

    Walking The Wrong Way

    A new year, a new blog it seems! I’ve always intended to do a blog about my photographic walks cum art project, and planned to end of last season. So before I start this one, here’s Walking The Wrong Way. It’s got photographs! Maps, tracks and geolocation! Gizmos! Search by location! Tweets! My silly rambling…
