Bold, character-driven photography that blends fine art with commercial polish, ranging from the Culver City public art project Culver...Is That You? to personal series like Silent Pictures and Cuba: Art is an Epidemic. Brakha's images balance graphic punch with a strong sense of storytelling.

Paolo Ventura builds intricate miniature dioramas by hand, then photographs them to look like frozen film stills. His scenes draw on family memory and wartime Italy, blurring the line between staged fiction and remembered history.

American writer Paul Auster on his writing process, and making art.
“Now it's also instinctive I'm barely aware of what I'm doing but at the same time I don't write fast and I've never written fast. For me a good day's work, and this is eight hours of work, a good day’s work is if I have one typed page at the end. One or two pages is great, three is a miracle. You know it happens maybe four times a year that I can do three pages but if I get the one page done I feel satisfied.”
Martin Kollar is a photographer and film maker from Czechoslovakia, now Slovakia. His series Nothing Special is all but that.
He is working the Long Stroll book, which looks very interesting to me.

I especially love the work from Mark Power that came out of this project.
