Blog About Photography

I tweaked my web­site a lit­tle bit this week, com­bin­ing work from La Brea, The Dol­drums with some newer stuff to make one body of work called USA! USA! I ini­tially put it together for my Yale appli­ca­tion ear­lier this year and liked what I came up with. I’ll also tell you that the series here is dif­fer­ent in a pretty sub­stan­tial way from the what I sent to New Haven: it has all the sexy pho­tographs taken out. I’m not try­ing to be a spoil sport, it’s just that the women who mod­eled with­held per­mis­sion to post them on the internet.

Another new addi­tion to the site, if you’re inter­ested, is the Blog About Tech­nol­ogy, I started it because I’m a huge fuck­ing geek and read more about the iPhone than I do about the econ­omy or pol­i­tics or art or literature. I’ve made three posts over there so far, which, sadly, is way bet­ter than I’ve done over here lately. I’ll try and fix it.

Also: I love you. Keep it real.

I’m still lust­ing after a Mamiya 7 rangefinder, but here’s some­thing for those of you with an inter­est in new high-​​end dig­i­tal gear: Mamiya’s new 33mp medium for­mat dig­i­tal SLR. It’s not a true “medium for­mat” cam­era in the old school sense of the term, but the sen­sor is about twice the size of a 35mm frame. It’s priced at around $20,000. Start saving.

 
A per­vi­ous Melanie Flood print sale.

Tomor­row night, come check out the March Mad­ness print sale at Melanie Flood Projects in Fort Greene (click for map). A lot of great pho­tog­ra­phers are included and also me. And everything’s priced for under $100. So, you know. Come out and spend a whole lot of money.

@sadkids just tweeted this one. thanks so, so much.
