that's very interesting what you wrote... i would have loved to read more on your thoughts!

I think Oliver Sieber, who took the photos of Markus and Ziad, is a bit of a profiler: his work is about documenting the mod and skinhead scene in Germany and Austria. Some of the photos in his collection are mesmerizing, you can't tell if the person is a man or a woman. They have a glazed look, a jaded look -- which is a bit unerving. It's almost as if they weren't human, but only style! Or as if they were dead... they have that sense of ageness, I think.

As for the other photographer, I love his documenting of the rockabilly and hell's angels in Switzerland... i like the narrativity of his photos, as if they are telling these very intricate stories (fiction) --- but which actually happened!

Once I get the books, I'll try scanning more photos.

;o)

what artists do you like?

I'm not really up on art...I'm not sure why b/c I readily enjoy most things I see...I'm a dork I don't know. I like the pre-raphaelites...mostly romantic, blurry looking art...never been one for abtrsact or "too" modern.

i also wish I had more time to enjoy art... either just sitting down and drawing or going to a museum.
