What a sad, tragic and early end to a fantastic designer who i expected to continue to fight against the demise of ambitious and great fashion.
I remember well when he first came to Paris in’96, changing Givenchy; not the easiest transition, after the genius John Galliano moved to Dior.
I felt recently he really hit a stride and I thought he’s just warming up…
Downloaded the new Sade and walking down the street i felt like i should be shooting a music video…
Anyhow, a nice extension of what we already know. Be ready to hear in the studio for the next weeks to come, i love it….

Not so much new content went up, but the internal settings have been tweak quite a bit over the last couple of weeks.
I still have to work on some more fun and facts for the image descriptions….
20 years of exponential improvements of post production (Whatever happened to Quantel??).
I thought i loved photography when the final image was “only” an 8×10 slide and everything had to be in that frame, exposure, contrast and color where you needed it.
I remember when the first rounds of Photoshop hit, i so desperately wanted a Mac and play around with black and white pictures. But at the time it was really a low quality tech geek with very little if any artistic or high end vision involved. Am i happy this changed and the artists were able to take over and claim photography once again for the art form with all the possibilities once the image is recorded electronically.
Today I feel i can push the picture much quicker, more precisely and repeatably to exactly what i want and feel about the subject and situation. And i don’t need a lab or digital technician. I’m still not a fan of artificial constructed visions of never occurred events (that’s called CGI and not photography) but i’m warming to this as well…
Anyhow, thanks to the Knoll brother’s and the team at Adobe to enhance Photography, making it a much more popular art form along the way and bring on discussions of relevance, reality and our image of beauty and distortion.
