  November 16, 2011

  Photographer Davis Ayer can’t get enough analogue.  He shoots most of his projects on film and his photo essay series called Time Travel, combines two forms of film photography: vintage photographs of cityscapes and forests projected on nude models. “The arcs of bridges and trunks of ferns hug the hip lines of partially lit girls.

  November 16, 2010

  Brad Elterman’s golden rule of concerts?
  “There’s always a party.”
