Richard Mosse.

I came across some great photographs by Richard Mosse the other day. The particular series I stumbled on was a collection of surreal pink-tinted shots taken in Eastern Congo. Looking through his website, you’ll notice he has a knack for making the bleak seem unbearably beautiful. SOLO SHOWS 2010 Whatever Was Splendid, Fotofest 2010 Biennial, ...

F*** Art.

Sarcasm at its best. Check out Marc’ website for more humorous post-it illustrations.

Stormtrooper Chillin’.

Just took this picture in my back garden up in the Lebanese mountains. I thought the little fella might want to cool off in a fresh can of Heineken.

Mexican Street Art.

Found this on Unurth today. It’s a great blog for anyone who loves street art. I’ve been lucky enough to see some great stuff in New York and London, but still want to travel to Buenos Aires and Melbourne to soak up the insane street art scene there.

Get Married or Die Tryin’.

Here’s a post from my other blog, Our Man in Beirut. This was one of the more popular entries, since I think it tapped into something pretty universal in Lebanon and beyond. Plus it’s a neat wait for me to get you to go read through my other websites.

The wedding invites are piling up on the mantel piece. “Save the Date!” they shout out every day as I walk past them. It seems everyone and their mother is on the road to wedded bliss. I mean in one sense its normal. I’ve just turned 27, so it’s hardly surprising that friends around my age are tying the knot. But I’m sometimes alarmed by the absolute necessity which marriage seems to be in Lebanon.

I’m a guy, so it’s actually quite bearable for me. I get a few questions here and there about the existence or not of an unlucky lady in my life. But being a woman must be an absolute horror. Girls get molded into aspiring wives when they’re still potty-training. Two thirds of the female population grow into aggressive husband-hunters, whilst the rest actively reject this social imperative and try and delay things by a couple of years.

Late of the Pier – Focker.

Late of the Pier are the best thing to ever come out of Castle Donington. Focker is a track off their Space and the Woods album. Electroclash at its finest.

Marina Abramovic at MoMa.

Here’s another shot from New York in April. I headed over to the MoMa to check out the Tim Burton exhibit, and discovered this performance artist I’d never heard about: Marina Abramovic. From what I gather she’s basically a loopy Serb who enjoys running into walls for hours. Overall her work is just the right ...

Divorce. Now On Sale.

Saw this little gem of advertising whilst walking around the Lower East Side of New York back in April.
