Oh, to have been a fly on Brad Elterman's camera--



Brad Elterman is a well known photographer of pop culture.  When You look at these images, you can't help but wish to have been around for the vibe.  I'm feeling this right now!  Flashing LIGHTS!!!!

The images drip with sexiness and are sticky on the brain.  His work looks effortless.  Baller.  I love his website, and the captions and backstory for each image. Worth visiting for sure. 

Brad Elterman’s career started with a borrowed camera at the age of 16. His first photo, of Bob Dylan performing onstage, was published in 1974.

That lead to endless nights of covering the rock scene in Hollywood encompassing pop, punk and rock bands including the Faces with Rod Stewart, David Bowie, the Sex Pistols, the Runaways, Kiss, Queen, Blondie, the Ramones, the Bay City Rollers, Abba, Boney M, Kenny Rogers, The Who, Leif Garrett, Michael Jackson, etc.

Kanye channels Jimi Hendrix for new Heartless single

Kanye West definently gets the power of nudity lately.  Considering the look and feel of his last video "Love Lockdown",  and the look of his upcoming single "Heartless"-- he is clearly channeling the rawness of the 1960's Rock and Mod movement with a splash of Stanley Kubrik's trippyness.  Peep the cover of Jimi Hendrix's classic album "Electric Ladyland" above...and images from Kanye's new video "Heartless" below.

I'm hyped to see the video when it is done!   Kanye doesn't allow the industry to put him in a box.  He keeps stretching the boundaries.  I always say it...Kanye is the John Lennon of Hip-Hop.  Expect the unexpected.

John Maeda!! Just standing in the same room--you feel smarter!

Last night I had dinner at the home of John Maeda, in Providence, Rhode Island.  If you are into graphic design...or claim to be a graphic designer, you need to know this mans work.  He is a pioneer and a guru.  He was the former director of MIT's media lab.  He is now the new president of RISD (Rhode Island School of Design)-- and his forward thinking is bound to shake the place up.   Peep this video from TED conference-- long, but interesting.  He is the man!
