Photography Exhibit: Chema Madoz
This past Friday, JD and I came across the Chema Madoz exhibit at the Telefonica Building on Gran Via. I was pretty excited since I had wanted to see the show when I heard about it initially but then later thought that I had totally missed it by being away in Florida. To my surprise Madoz's work will be exhibited through the end of May and, even better, it's free and open to the public. It's always nice to stumble unexpectedly into a lovely display of anything, especially photography...which these past few weeks has become an increasing obsession of mine. The more I realize how many photos are waiting to be taken all around me, the more I understand how much the ones I do take are (or, at least, can be) worth. Light + Time = Meaning. Strange, how the laws of physics can be so compelling. For those who don't know Chema Madoz's stuff and are interested, you can check it out here. He's got some killer photos--playful, eccentric, stunningly simple, and all around quite lovely.

Is the bridge on that violin a razor blade? I can't quite tell.
You might want to check out the work of , a photographer who lives in New York now and is probably best known for her Rooms and Underwear series, the only one, as far as I know that's been printed in book form.
Woops, screwed up the html tag, her name is Miyashita Maki.
yeah, its a razor blade for a bridge, for sure! he's got another one that i couldn't find online which is a shot of an open book with blank pages and the bookmark is a razor blade that says on it "universal"--yikes! btw, thanks for the word on this japanese photographer in NYC--i'll be sure to check it out! hope all is well on the island...

Baby, these photos are fantastique. Och, you could totally do a comparison w/Fran Herbello. It practically writes itself. The surface of the ordinary is full of wrinkles...
