Shanghai Dreaming...

Way back in 2008 Dior collaborated with Chinese photographer Quentin Shih to produce a series of photographs entitles ''Stranger in the Glass Box'' - even the title gave me shivers. The images had an eery stuck in time feel to them, with every one carrying hints of the volatile history of the country. It was a fascinating twist on the usual super styled photography that adorns the pages of glossy magazines. It carried more depth and meaning that most. Two years later with Dior reopening the doors to their Shanghai fashion house, who better to call upon to capture the essence of their being than Shih. Slightly less arid and much more spellbinding, this series still captures the essence of how the photographer feels about modern Chinese culture. Retouching each and every still, Shih takes a typical Chinese stereotype and repeats it over and over to reinforce the rigor and uniformity of mass consumerism in the most beautiful of ways.

Second Chances...

Tom Haubrick does dark little sketches of sad, lonely looking people. Some have houses on their heads, most of them wear jeans. What's not to like?

Apologies...

I have neglected my litte blog space for quite some time now. No, I have not been off on more far flung adventures, alas, I have been slaving away under a hot spotlight working my socks of for various little projects, one being potentially quite exciting and may even involve me moving to a different country! More information of that to come in time, but but for now, please accept my dearest apologies in not being around, here is a darling kitten to soften the blow.
