Every Cuff Tells a Story

Every Cuff Tells a Story, originally uploaded by middleagedteacher.

I have been meaning to link to this site for ages, the title of which could be me, but boy does she do middle age with style. To have such a love of colour she is an inspiration. (yes I mean you Mr Galliano!)

Designer jewellery

Galliano here
So Galliano is branching out into jewellery, another cash cow aimed at us fatties who whilst not being able to stick an arm in a designer sleeve can always adorn ourselves with accessories instead. I love Galliano but the jewellery is not good, just compare it to the jewellery genius of Marni to see how it should be done.

DAIDO MORIYAMA

Wonderful black and white images, from here I love the way he has heavily filtered these to focus on the contrast of shapes and textures. It takes me back to the days spent in the darkroom playing with filters and Lith developer.

Nina Katchadourian

How beautiful, her website is a joy to see.


Transplant
These are the wings of an insect used to fix a plant and then beautifully photographed.

The lives of others

I watched this last night. What a fantastic film, gripping from start to finish, and all of it is still so recent. This article pours cold water on the historical inaccuracies of the story, but it is still an amazing film all the same.

Harry Callahan

After the overly gushy posts on the wonderful Dries Van Noten I have decided to cleanse the palate with these beautifully sparse images by Harry Callahan. I found the images at HackelBury Fine Art, I thought this had to be a gallery based in New York so good was the selection, but no, it is a stones throw from the V&A so that's now on my list of 'must pay a visit to' gallery's. I was very inspired by these photographs, although we've yet again failed to feel the crisp crunch of snow underfoot I think its a little late now. So instead of stalking emerging new blossom with my camera, I sat and chatted to the ex husband of one of Emin's Tenants, whilst he fitted them a new shower door. They are a divorced couple who both unbelievable have severe MS. She is generously putting her ex up after going to get him from Kuwait where he was living with his brother and mother ( who has severe dementia) He had fallen out with the brother, the sister in law and a house full of maids, he appears to have brain damage which leads to him speak what he is thinking! and so had become suicidal so she went to fetch him. She is renting one of Emin's houses whilst her house is treated for subsidence. You couldn't make it up really, but I was entertained, and sadly the day was gone.
