Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it a weapon of mass destruction? Is it Optimus Prime’s wayward cousin? No, it’s a… er… a million different cameras, apparently. It’s kind of ugly and incredibly beautiful at the same time and I feel drawn to it.

LIFE Photo Archive Hosted by Google
Tuesday, November 18th, 2008
Google and LIFE magazine have teamed up to bring us the LIFE photo archive hosted by Google.
There are literally millions of photographs in the archive ranging in time from the 1750s to today. What??s more, a staggering 97% of them have never been seen by the public until now.
I have a feeling I’m going to be spending a lot of time there.
Press Release: ‘What Crisis? Fashion’s New Optimism’ ?? Dazed & Confused New Fashion Talent Special, Out 13th November 2008
Tuesday, November 18th, 2008
Press release verbatim:
Though the current outlook might be gloomy, Dazed & Confused is excited and optimistic about the new wave of creative talent shaping and colouring our futures. Writing for this week’s Independent, Dazed & Confused fashion editor Katie Shillingford said, “Our fashion horizon is positive and thriving, despite the panic that the credit crunch has inflicted on the industry. The creators are creating more than ever before… optimism is a must, and our outlook is multicoloured!” After scouting out the most exciting new photographers, designers, models and stylists of the moment, Dazed & Confused is this month showcasing the year’s hottest new fashion talent in its own inimitable style.
Also in this issue, we investigate Beijing’s flourishing young creative underground, and talk to Fight Club author Chuck Palahniuk about the forthcoming screen adaptation of his cult novel Choke. We also profile rising art star Alex da Corte, while Japan’s notorious purveyor of erotic photography, Noboyushi Araki, talks us through his personal archive. Harmony Korine introduces his previously unpublished zines from the last 15 years, plus we eat cake with hotly-tipped electro-pop duo HeartsRevolution, and meet Susannah Knoop, the alter-ego behind literary hoax phenomenon J.T. Leroy.
