A collection of photos of Michael Jackson and Webster. Most of the photos consist of Michael holding Webster like a baby. Some are of Michael and Webster’s vacation to Disneyland. They hung out with Quincy Jones once. And look! Michael is sitting on Webster here….

I live in Metro Detroit, in the city of Rochester Hills. I was originally born in California, but moved here when I was 5. I like to take pictures mostly of Landscapes//Architecture, but I’m always down to take pictures of whatever I see and get inspired by. I also really like working with people for more of a Portrait//Fashion look.
I use a Canon AE-1, mostly shooting on Fuji Color film, but I also self develop my own Kodak T-Max 400. I wouldn’t say formally trained, but I was introduced to photography at a very young age (I believe I was 7, I was given my first camera as a birthday present). But since then, I have always loved taking pictures, and even at one point I branched out and began shooting short films and videos.
I just get influenced by what I see other people doing. Not saying I just snag other peoples style, but let’s say I see some effect that I really dig, like cross processing, I may want to try that. What I’ve really been into lately is that whole “Soft Focus” thing. I’ve always thought that soft of stuff looked unique. Hmm, in 5 years… I don’t know, being how i’m gonna be going off to college in about a year, I really hope I will be finishing up school, hopefully at Columbia Art School in Chicago, but anything relating to photography would be awesome! I know I will always be shooting photos though, whether I’m doing it professionally of just for fun.
7) What makes me happy is seeing people like my photography. It’s cool that my pictures are getting out there and that people are actually enjoying them.

Where do you live? Currently in Vancouver, British Columbia. Before that I lived in Connecticut for several years. That’s where I started taking pictures. Originally, I’m from Russia.
What do you take pictures of? Street. Except for staged photographs, pretty much everything else goes. I’m no different from many other people who like finding beautiful, funny and surreal in the everyday life.
What kind of camera do you use? I like small rangefinder cameras. Most of my pictures were taken with Bessa L with 25/4 Snapshot-Skopar and Bessa R3A with 40/1.4 S.C Nokton. I also used Holga for a little bit but then stopped because of its very unique image. There is just too much of Holga in images that come out of it. I few weeks ago, I purchased Fuji X100. So far, I have been enjoying it. I like the neutrality and realistic look of digital. It’s very “democratic”.
Are you formally trained in photography? No, I don’t have any formal training in photography. It’s a hobby.
What are your influences? Robert Frank, Garry Winogrand, and Michael Ormerod are my three favourite photographers. More recently, I started to enjoy William Eggleston and Stephen Shore. Actually, I buy a lot of different photography books, from classic Atget and Man Ray to contemporary Russian photographers Igor Mukhin and Sergei Maximishin. On Flickr, I very much like the work of Don Hudson www.flickr.com/photos/seefood_vol1/ and Brad McMurray www.flickr.com/photos/bemac/
One of the reasons I take pictures is because it helps me to understand better and appreciate the photographers I like. It’s another way to experience their work.
Where do you see yourself in five years? To tell the truth, I took a break from photography during the last two years. I felt tired of it and uninspired. Only recently I started taking pictures again (with digital). In five years, hopefully, I’ll still be taking pictures and enjoying photography.
What makes you happy? Many different things. When a picture turns out well is one of them.

A sand sculpture of Osama Bin Laden showed up on May 2, 2011, on a beach in Puri, India. The piece was created by Indian sand artist Sudarshan Patnaik, and recognizes that a Tumblr account near you would pick up the pictures.

Saw this on Hypebeast, and thought it was cool. It is called the Fractual Mondrian, done by artist Samuel Monnier. We can’t explain what he did, so let him explain:
Of course it is not very interesting to draw Mondrian-like pictures, and in order to do this, one could simply draw random vertical lines, horizontal lines and color some of the resulting regions. What is interesting about this way of drawing Mondrian-like pattern is that it is local. The algorithm needs to know only what is going on in the tile the pixel belongs to. Such “pixel by pixel” drawing algorithms can be scaled easily and are well-suited for pattern piling. Here are two pictures resulting from piling Mondrian-like patterns. Click on the pictures for zoomable images. The two pictures differ only by their “magnification step”, namely the scaling factor between two piled patterns. It is equal to 2 in the first one and to 6 in the second one.

We remember seeing this particular Escif piece, that is now the cover of Juxtapoz’ February 2011 issue, as a print at Pictures On Walls and really wanting to buy it. It is a brilliant statement, and a brilliant piece in general from an artist we admire greatly. This is just a powerful piece of art, in very simplistic terms. The title is good, too: Spanish Passion. We haven’t picked up the magazine yet, but we are curious what Escif has to say going into 2011…

You know George Lois. He did all the iconic Esquire Magazine covers, and he had a fantastic retrospective of the covers at the MoMA a few years back. And The Selby went by to say hello to George, and now the pictures are posted, and as always, George knows how to design things, in this case, his home.
Thanks to Hypebeast for the head’s up.

The mood was set, on a slightly chilly summer’s day, as two artists, one of the writing trade, the other of painting and clever uses for food, joined together at the Citrus Report Open Office Food Court Saturday (C.R.O.O.F.C.S) for a celebration of getting a story and a watercolor painting about food for free. Jason Jaworski and Alex Pardee spent Saturday in the Open Office, doing the above mentioned activity, and we took pictures. And some people wrote on our post-it wall, making Canada and Mexico ever the more prevalent. —The Citrus Report staff
Alex Pardee tweets the starting time. We think he wanted food.
Jason Jaworski ready for another day of storywriting.
The crowd readies in anticipation.
The story begins.
There’s the line…
