バラバライカ : ink of blue black roses

"On the next day after the catastrophe

(3.11, 2011) in my country, I started to

contact my friends through Facebook,

in the name 'Art Charity Activity for

Japan'. My message read: 'Please send

me what you feel, imagine towards the

big earthquake in Japan, or whatever

you are holding now'. I was so...

...day comes, I have decided to edit this

project book. No concept, no perfec-

tion, but pure sincerity and sympathy

in here."

Chris Dorley-Brown print

Another stormy sky over London but I didn't take this one. It's titled ‘Holly Street Estate, 1988′ and comes from Chris Dorley-Brown's 'Hackney Archive'. I recently purchased it from Contact Editions as a 10×12″ Digital C-type (edition of 200) and it cost just £30 plus postage! More info from the Contact Editions website.

'What Would You Save' by Martin Parr

A crafty shot I took at a Martin Parr Private View at Strand Gallery last night. Parr's recent Oxfam commission - 'What Would You Save' - highlights how climate change is currently affecting people in the Mekong Delta. There's a You Tube clip here and a piece on the Guardian website showing portraits from Vietnam and a series shot with celebrities in the UK. Grayson Perry's portrait (with teddy/"living god", Alan Measles) features in the show.

'From My Window in the Early Hours' (1911)

I took this at around 05:45 this morning as it reminded me of a painting I saw 10 years ago in an Auckland art gallery. Leafing through an old notebook I found a sketch of the painting and the artist's name: Sir George Clausen.
