Meanwhile, this is Candida
A hamper of pretty things, from my browser to yours.
Yellow
For some reason, this week I can’t move for photographs of yellow cars! No idea why, they just keep popping up on Threads and Pinterest and everywhere. There’s something exceedingly pleasing about them. Something about that exceedingly lovely shade of almost-orange-but-not-quite contrasted against a blue sky. Or perhaps it’s that the modern mind is wired to be drawn to taxi cabs. Anyway, I love the juxtaposition of these two shots – one from William Eggleston’s 2 1/4, the other from Peter Marshall’s pictures of London cafes in the 1980s.
Hardcore
Candida Doyle from the This Is Hardcore video shoot, February 1998. From Paul Burgess and Louise Colbourne’s new book Hardcore: The Cinematic World of Pulp, a visual celebration of the band’s classic album, featuring unseen photography, behind-the-scenes interviews and other essays. Looks utterly gorgeous.
Things Become Other Things
“A 30 day walk in Japan. A memoir. Fishermen, foul-mouthed kids, and terrible miserable wonderful coffee.” Things Become Other Things, the latest in Craig Mod’s photography plus narrative non-fiction walk-a-very-long-way-in-Japan books, looks utterly gorgeous. I love the attention he puts into the physical design of these books – here’s something you want to feel the weight of, touch, sniff.
