New Found Photos
Those of you who have known me for a while or have read this blog for a while know that I've been collecting found photos for years. In fact it's probably been over 12 years now. I have amassed quite a collection. I've dug through thousands of antique and vintage photos, so I can say with some degree of experience that it is a rare thing to find a formally exceptional photographer or photograph. Most of the images I end up buying are unique in their subject or location but more often than not they are amateur in their technical or compositional approach. Well, today I got a great deal on a exceptional bag of 8x10" black and white photos. The guy I bought them from said they were taken by Lee Sullivan and he got them at an estate sale, but I couldn't find information on Sullivan online. Take a look at these - they're fantastic. There are numerous copies of most these photos in the bag- most with different exposures. I tried to scan the best ones, but there are a lot of great ones. For higher res images go here.
Stand by Me
It's only a week into the new month and it looks like the new Dan McCarthy print is sold out. Too bad because it's fantastic.

Recent Derek Erdman Works
Derek Erdman "This Painting Is Wrong"
May 2009
Dimensions: 18"x24"
Catalog #2249
$100 (Shipping included!)
Medium: Latex & acrylic on wood.
"Jeff Barratt-McCartney
Is In The High Performance
Computing Industry"
November 2008
Dimensions: 14"x14"
Catalog #2064
$45 (shipping included)
Medium: Latex on wood
Erdman has an impressive rate of production and he makes each piece very affordable. I could see one of these in a simple black frame in a interior made up of select pieces of mod furniture. I love how deadpan most of his work is and if you look around his site I'd recommend reading the descriptions as well - he has quite the sense of humor. For that matter, even the titles themselves are funny; "CATCH With Gorbachev's Big Head", "Young Michael Jackson With A Squirrel In His Hair", "Tragedy In Dessert City" - just to name a few.

These "digital drawings" by Ross Racine were found at but does it float. They closely resemble a lot of the aerial photos I've taken personally, although his are composed digitally without photos.

"It Wasn't Meant to End Like This"
“It wasn’t meant to end like this” is an installation by Glue Society. found at today and tomorrow, via creative review. This is great.
Music for Your Studio; Vol. 15
Great compilation of instrumental music. I understand if you're hesitant because this is a comp, but this is really good throughout and it actually has a very smooth flow from one track to the next despite having fifteen different artists. There are some tracks that remind me a little of the Rachel's, some that are more ambient, and some that are more classically based. It's free - so give it a shot - especially for the Sunwrae and Library Tapes tracks.
ps - this is by far the longest running feature on "minutiae"...hope you're enjoying these.
