I can remember first seeing a book by Hiroshi Sugimoto full of horizon pictures of the sea. At the time I was a little baffled by a whole book on essentially variations of this one scene. Now his image is immortalized in the world of Rock and Roll.

Well, you just cost me some money. This will be the first cd that I've purchased for the cover. I love Sugimoto. I think his series of theatres is my favourite of his work.

I can't say I'm incredibly familiar with his other work. I'll have to look into it more. The music is also beautiful so you'll get double for your money. :)

My room Originally uploaded by Mark Brian . Welcome to my newly rejuvenated weblog. I've recently revisited the works of Ralph Gibson which are very amazing. On a recent trip to San Jose, I stopped by the Weston gallery in Carmel and picked up a copy of his recent book "Refractions: Thoughts On Aesthetics and Photography" . It was this book that got me thinking about resurrecting my weblog, combined with new efforts in making pictures, and perhaps a little writing. I hope you will enjoy the images and thoughts to come. Until my next post, take care.
