"There is a seeing which doesn't see objects. It doesn't see thisness and thatness. It is pure. It doesn't come from thought or intention. This is why it has the power to bypass the mind, and speak directly into the heart of being." It's not every photographer I've interviewed that elects to send over a collection of personal, philosophical meditations with his work. The longest of the bunch is above, but most of the brief notes Alexis Vasilikos supplied were no longer than a line or two, taking on the air of [...]

All photos by Rachel Milbauer. The KPSU Kruise took off around midnight on Friday to a series of cheers and whoops. It's safe to say that everyone had been imbibing for a few hours, enjoying the unseasonably warm evening breeze off the Willamette. The crowd was certainly celebratory, buying raffle tickets, drinking champagne, and hanging out on all decks of the boat. Grandparents played to a packed room as the Portland Spirit lazily floated from St. Johns to Sellwood, under the bridges of Portland. Onuinu [...]

My first pick this month is a photo of Forever Can Wait , a Southampton based band who've made it onto the Red Bull shortlist to be one of the acts chosen to play at Download Festival in June (apparently you can vote for them here ). Anyway I'm not here to plug bands....I'm here to talk about photography! And I particularly like this image taken by Alex Gregory. It jumped out at me when I was looking through the Red Bull shortlist bands, and that is exactly what a good image should do. It's nicely composed, nicely [...]

Our pal, Daisy , who usually checks in once in a while with her Letters From London, happens to be in NYC this week. Last night she attended the opening of the Just Chaos! photo show at Bookmarc in the west village. Here's what she had to say: Met lots of punk rockers last night - ahem… maybe I shouldn't have started with the word "MET". Did you read the reviews of the Gala at the Metropolitan Museum's annual fundraiser Costume Ball the other day? Someone on TV actually asked [...]

Decided to hit up Pressed for a night of experimental rock music. Playing at the show: • Malaikat Dan Singa • Fet.Nat Fet. Nat started off the show. I've seen the band play live various time but are always great to see! They played a loud rocking and crazy set. [...]

Kurt Vile took the stage Tuesday night at the jam-packed Echoplex looking as if he just walked out of his "Never Run Away" video — maybe his all-white persona is here to stay. As he did at Coachella , Vile delivered his songs from beneath his voluminous hair, keeping it low-key and letting the music, rather than the guitarist himself, connect with the audience. His backing band the Violators ebbed on and off the stage throughout the night, giving Vile a chance to also show off some of his acoustic versions of his hits. When left [...]

Went to a nice intimate show at the Raw Sugar Cafe on May 8th. It was a last minute decision but I wanted to come and support these musicians. Playing at the show: • Jos. Fortin • Her Harbour It wasn't a few weeks ago that I went to Her Harbour's CD Release show. This time it was more of a strip down set which it [...]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =rqC2xpCaG80 The Verge has posted an interview with Apple product photographer Peter Belanger . Amazing how much work goes into the process. As evidenced by this video , there's a lot more than straight up photography going on, which is to be expected. Was a little surprised they went as far as to accentuate the chrome on the bezel but I supposed it's par for the course with this sort of thing. Overall I was a little underwhelmed with the process. I would have assumed Apple did this all in-house in [...]

In 1987, French photographer and cultural documentarian Eric Valli traveled to the cliffs of the Himalayas to capture the Himalayan Gurung men's harrowing journey to gather honey. Nestled high up in the foothills of this mountain locale lies the habitat of the rarified Himalayan honey bee, the world's largest bee, and the producer of Asia's most highly sought-after honey. Building their nests anywhere from 8,200 to 15,000 feet into the air, each nest can contain as much as 130 pounds of honey, with different types available at varying altitudes. Making use of rope ladders and baskets, [...]
