David Hockney: Photoshop is boring

David Hockney: Photoshop is boring from Louisiana Channel on Vimeo.

Interesting interview with David Hockney. Magazine photography is boring, I agree. But I don't blame the tools, I blame the culture surrounding commercial photography. No one is allowed a singular vision. Everyone has a opinion on how the images should look so you get a bland, watery mix where no one vision stands out. A select few can can tell the AD, producer, writer and designer to jump in a lake, shut the fuck and leave it alone. But most are just happy to have a pay day and sit back.

That's why many, many, many years ago I went into the darkroom and did not want to shoot photos for money. That is my two cents anyways, LOL!

The PC isn’t ready to die, it’s ready for a rebirth

Desktops sales have slowed because manufacturers have let their designs stagnate, but the need for a comfortable machine you can work on hasn’t gone away. Who will reinvent the PC and reap the rewards?

Every other week, there seems to be story about the PC dying. This week, it was because Intel is planning on exiting the motherboard business. The screwy thing is, I think the exact opposite is about to happen. Not only is the desktop not dead, it’s about to go through a resurgence. We’re just waiting for that visionary vendor who realizes that bigger is still better, and this Lemming-like agreement that the desktop is dead is holding people back. Here’s why.

I want to scream this from a mountain top. I hope, beyond hope, that Apple pulls it's head out of it's consumer driven ass and makes a great new PC. I need a new desktop like you would not believe.

Hipsters stunned as vintage cameras fail to make them professional photographers

The international hipster community is in shock this week after the purchase of a vintage Polaroid camera by a young hipster failed to bring him instant acclaim as a gritty, original, yet quirky photographer. Meanwhile, the non-profit Hipster Photographer Rescue has  revealed that “this kind of tragic occurrence is happening so often now that it’s almost become mainstream”. Leaning against the exposed brickwork in his loft-slash-studio, 28-year-old ‘creative’ and part-time barista, Zak Retrough, said that he is “like, shocked?” that his totally deck photographs of his friends looking moody next to some kitchen appliances from the 70′s have continued to be ignored by independent art galleries.

The greater the artist, the greater the doubt. Perfect confidence is given to the less talented as a consolation prize.
