Fuego #1

I just got this in the mailbox. Fuego #1. This thing is just too nice for words... if you like UFO's. I know Rachel Waugh likes UFOs, so I thought I'd post it now.



And I for one really like UFO's. Fuego is put together in Barcelona by Coke Bartrina and Elena Gallen. 40 pages full of great stuff. I really don't have much else to say, this zine is beautiful.





Coke's dad was part of a team who faked UFO footage in the 70's, so he decided to go to the spot of a famous UFO sighting and use his Father's ideas to make his own images. Too fucking cool.








Toronto dude Liam Crockard got the centerfold.


Read up about Bob Lazar. He hung out with aliens at Area 51.




Some Keaton Henson goodness.

A few words with Rachel Waugh

What are your plans for the day?
Sip tea and strike up conversation with my insecurities

What do you hate (dislike) most about your work?

Uuuugh.


Describe your relationship with one subject of one photo, sensual or non.
HERE, PHOTO HERE

Deanna and Fred, my current photographic muses. Fred is clawless and fairly tolerant. Deanna once said that her cat uses the city similar to how a shark might use a seal



Critisize something about Toronto, the land of all hate and evil

It's too flat.



What are your subjective standards in what makes a good photograph?

Whoa, big question. A few things I’m attracted to when making/viewing photographs:

engaging mood, aesthetic or concept
honest intent
several points of interest
analog qualities
a sense of ambiguity or mystery

…spare the high-brow rhetoric.

This Toronto gurrrrrrl has a serious jones for TRUTH and BEAUTY!!! FLICKR YALL!!!

Jackson Eaton 'Interview'

The other day I sent Australian photographer Jackson Eaton a few questions. He sent his answers back to us in the form of Polaroids. Dig it.

What are your plans for the day?



What's something you find that you are not photographing? Is that on purpose?



You just had some photos in the Night Vision show in Vancouver. Tell me about that.



I am 22 and feel old. How does it feel be to born in 1980 at the end of 2009?



What was the last really good movie or record you got?



If this didn't make any sense to you or if you just plain want to see more of Jackson's photos, go to Jackson Eaton dot com.

Alison Scarpulla

Very rarely do I find a photographer that genuinely interests me. I feel so very compelled to do a full post on this woman, but as for right now I cannot keep these images to myself. Jawdropping work. Proper use of film. Fantastic.

The Unknown Portraits / Bad Boy Racing Club

I got Kozyndan's beautiful new book, The Unknown Portraits, out through Toronto's Magic Pony as well as Bad Boy Racing Club #1. Here are some pictures from them.





I am going to say upfront that these pictures don't do this book justice at all. It showed up as a surprise from Magic Pony (thanks so much!!) a couple of weeks back and everyone that has seen it at my house instantly gets sucked in. It has a super soft fabric cover with gold embossing and the 100+ illustrations in it are awesome. Easily worth the $25 they want for it.







Kozyndan's drawings are based on pictures found in a thrift store photo album. Some of them are accompanied by short stories written by their friends, like the one above called There's A Party In My Pants that Porous Walker wrote.













I really like this book. The work has enough depth to keep you flipping through it continuously. There are some photos from the book launch and also some good images of some of the illustrations on Magic Pony's flickr. You can get the book here.



I don't know a whole lot about Bad Boy Racing Club. Its got black and white photos by a handful of people and Issue 1 is thick and full of good content.

No Thoughts zines for free

Michael J. Demeo mailed over the new zines he and Alyssa Noches have out for free through their Portland based project - We Are Now In Space. There are still copies of issue 2 available, go to the website and they will mail you one.





Issue one contains photos by Michael Demeo. It's full of some good nudie pictures, but isn't available anymore. You guys slept on this one.









Issue two has photos from Demeo again as well as Alyssa Noches. The theme seems to be the same, but this time with little 'No Thoughts 2' logos scattered through out. I'm not sure why they're there.. probably so that when I post this it'll get drilled into your brain over and over again.











Get yours on the We Are Now In Space site.
