ASDF
Davin — October 20th, 2007

ASDF “is a series of collaborative projects by Mylinh Trieu Nguyen and David Horvitz. They are first and foremost works that can be translated through digital mediums, enabling free access and reproduction of the files.”

The first project from ASDF is a “photography publication” presented as a downloadable PDF and featuring the work of photographers: Reggie Guerrero, David Horvitz, Andrea Longacre-White, Ye Rin Mok, and Tony Papin.

Nguyen and Horvitz don’t necessarily see the online presentation of their projects as their final form. They suggest that through donations or sponsorship they would like to see these works evolve into printed publications.

SOLO — Scott Jackson
Davin — October 10th, 2007

thumbOur third SOLO feature is an image from Scott Jackson: “I wanna be famous for falling in love.”

Scott’s blog, Oh Dog, you Sleuth! grabbed my attention awhile back with it’s wonderful mixture of photography, witty and inventive writing, and it’s ephemeral nature. Scott has kept the blog since 2003 and through it you can follow him around the US embracing what feels like a quintessential contemporary American experience.
