Zephyr Pavey’s Psyched to Die blog and fanzine presents photographs of unruly, maladjusted sociopaths in varying states of consciousness, dress and undress.
Without any exaggeration, it is safe to say that New Zealand-born, New York-based photographer Tom Gould, is one of the most offhandedly hilarious guys you will ever meet. His stories of rat baggism and rascalism as a youngster – told with wide eyes and raised brows – will have you laughing so hard you may actually snort in public.
I asked the subject of this week’s MOOKS Report, to give me three adjectives that describe a photograph? And he gave me two… not because he couldn’t conjure up a third, but because following rules isn’t really his style.
Some people say they can do everything. 27-year-old New York based artist Lauren Lacey Slowik, is not one of those people. But the things she can do include, but are not limited to the following:
Anna Delany’s photographs have featured in the Mooks Report quite extensively over the past few weeks, and since credit is always owed where credit is due, it’s time to give this New York-based photographer a spotlight of her own. I suspect that Anna has been getting up to mischief for the 24 years that span her entire lifetime, and luckily she’s had a camera around her neck enough times over the years to document her shenanigans.
It also helps that by nature Anna is completely fearless, which often translates into incredible photo opportunities and in her hands, images of gold. She’ll think nothing of nonchalantly dropping pieces into conversation such as, “so I think I might head to the Bronx to take some photos of the underground subway lines,” (note: this involves literally crawling down into the subway tunnels, often filled with rats, crackheads and other questionable creatures).
Berlin, situated in the Northern area of former-East Germany, is positively (b)rimming with creative excursions this week. Here are a couple of our picks to help any of you out there wash those winter willies (quite literally) away.
