Deerlings and Ghostthings
Lola
"I use a Fujifilm s5700 digital camera.  My Tim Walker 'Pictures' book is not the very expensive special edition, it's the regular one without the dust cover. I love polar bears and books and shoes and Lula Magazine and Pi.  I'm really shy, really really awkwardly shy.  I probably couldn't even look you in the eye if I met you."

from an essay by Bill Wittliff
"Among his earliest memories is waking in the middle of the night from a pallet on the floor to see a small orange safelight above the kitchen sink where his mother stands. He steps over beside her then raises himself on tiptoes to watch in wide eyed wonder as one of her photographic images slowly comes up in the developer. It is magic, indeed it is a miracle and to this day my friend Keith Carter has never gotten over it."

DAWN
Edward Bower Hesser
Among dancers and early motion picture performing community there existed a very strong belief in the ideals of the physical culture movement, of physical perfectibility, bodily beauty, hygiene, and expressive sexuality. Some, Isadora Duncan, Ted Shawn, Annette Kellerman, Margaret Edwards, Douglas Fairbanks, Sr., were messianic exhibitionists intent on demonstration to any public that would look the splendor, the human physique.  Edwin Bower Hesser in his own distinctly suspect way latched on to certain of these convictions.  From 1923 until the mid 1930s he edited and supplied imagery for as many as seven art magazines designed for art students concerned with problems of the human form.  His brief stint of study at the Art Institute of Chicago did not entirely elevate his aesthetics from kitsch and artiness to art.  This was, of course, what Duncan and the Greek dance movement was doing at the same time. Dancing in minimal costume in the open air.  Few copies remain of the publications in which Edward printed.  He was not the only supplier of images to these publications.  Included was Alfred Cheney Johnston, John De Mirjian, George DeBarron, and Strand Studio.

"An obsessional quality, a muted colour palette and an engagement with themes such as mysticism and sexuality would be some of the words to describe Diana Daia’s work.  The overtones of modernist aesthetics, such as constructivism, dada or surrealism and the use of a new medium, such as digital photography may seem enough to set the stage for the practice of this subculturally informed artist.  But despite her purist, perceptibly autonomous images, functioning in the context of a trans national subculture, her work developed in the socio political context of post communism.  Romanian-born Diana Daia was well aware of the failure of the modernist project of communism and witnessed its unfolding effects in her home country."

"I started this website just over 2,5 years ago.
I was not a photographer and I didn't really understand
what effect it would have on my life,
or on my inbox for that matter.
To begin with - not much happened. Every occasional email
I got made me very excited and I answered them all. But, as time
went on there were more and more of them. I started feeling
slightly pressured to answer every single one of them,
until one day not too long ago when i decided to give up.
That decision has kind of left me feeling extremely rude though.
I've also noticed that a lot of the questions kept coming back
so I came up with the idea to make an FAQ page.
This way if I do not have time to answer your email or interview,
you can hopefully still find the answers here. Let's try!"
