Singer Patti Smith’s photographs on display

But Smith is also an avid photographer and takes a camera on tour and whenever she travels. “Camera Solo” is the first museum exhibition of her Polaroid photographs at the Wadswoth Atheneum in Hartford Connecticut. It can be seen until February 19, 2012.

Who knew she was also a photographer. I’d better get over to see her show in Hartford.

This is an excellent video of both portraits and behind the scenes process of how photographer Peter Hapak put together his collection for an issue of Time Magazine.

Reminds me of Irving Penn’s traveling studio (below):

The Sartorialist in Tokyo

Richard — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 13:16:44 +0000

I’ve been following Scott Schuman’s Sartorialist blog for a while. This video shows him shooting in Tokyo.

At a glance his blog and the video might look like simple documentary of street fashion of the upwardly mobile but in fact if you follow it for a while it’s like watching live, current urban anthropology. He has a knack for mining the good stuff, both in faces and clothing.

I’ve posted about Scott’s work before, here, here, and here.
