DANNY ZAPALAC







Recently I rediscovered one of my favorite snowboard photographers, Danny Zapalac. His work is refreshing, and distinct, from the average photo in a shred publication. They stand out for their lack of or restrained use of strobe and their subtle colors. His black and white work also stands away from the pack because of his affection for good ole' grain and tilt/shift lenses. His photos almost don't belong in the snowboard/extreme sports world, so it's no surprise that he has expanded and done advertising work for outdoor sports giants such as: Aspen Resorts, Boost Mobile,
Burton, DC, Hurley, Oakley, North Face, Puma, Red Bull, Rossignol, Vans, and Volcom.

Anyways, I'm jealous of him - enough blathering. Enjoy!

BUJALSKI IN BERLIN WITH BEESWAX

I though I'd share a tidbit from a recent press release by the 2009 Berlin International Film Festival about Andrew Bujalski's new film.

"Andrew Bujalski’s Beeswax is in many ways symptomatic of the search for a new autonomy of narrative. Using the gestures, manner of speaking, and props of everyday life, Bujalski discovers small dramatic episodes of an astonishing cinematographic quality. His laconicism and intimacy can be considered the marks of a trend; a special genre term has, in fact, already been coined to reflect the way the actors, mostly non-professionals, speak in his films: “mumblecore”. This term can also be seen as an indication that the mumbling of everyday life all too often transmits the clearest signs of life."

Says nothing we don't already know, but hey, three cheers!
