Odd you mention it, I just had a photo editor and some other photographers talk at my school. The photo editor from Fortune magazine talked about working with "Jim" Nachtwey and how he asked him to go shoot these dams, and "Jim" was like "Eh, everyone's shot those dams." and the dude was like "Yeah, but you haven't, Jim." and "Jim" said, "You're right."

 

I don't know if that's interesting at all, but i thought it was really cool. Man, war photographers are cool.

i'm glad you liked it beardo.

i was amazed at how chill he was.

on a sidenote, there's a book called

"war is a force that gives us meaning"

by chris hedges where he mentions

that war photographers

get "high" before they go into a warzone..

a way to eleviate the stress and intense

feeling of wanting safety. anyhoo...maybe

that explains his chillness..

The gallery showing you pictured before, the one that looked like twist, that guy is called yok. (www.theyok.com) he is quite popular. He started out in this fucking tiny town that didnt even have wheatposting till 4 years ago. To be honest the way he has marketed himself among the 'right' people is quite impressive.

 

 

However, he is an art fag turn writer not writer turn art fag. I think that kind of thing is important.

There's probabally several different ways we could beat this kid senseless. He probabally does'nt realize he's even biting T. Just a little over-admiration. Those Woman things are bangin'.

i don't know, i think he knows and just likes getting away with it because he's apparently from europe. those bites are so blatant it hurts. why do people feel the need to reproduce their idols' ideas and call them their own? you're allowed to have influence, but influence is more of a state of mind as opposed to a style of drawing a character and a background.
