Day 86 - They are absolutely right
"Your equipment DOES NOT affect the quality of your image. The less time and effort you spend worrying about your equipment the more time and effort you can spend creating great images. The right equipment just makes it easier, faster or more convenient for you to get the results you need".
Ken Rockwell, Your Camera Does Not Matter, 2005
"The history of our race, and each individual's experience, are sown thick with evidence that a truth is not hard to kill and that a lie told well is immortal".
Mark Twain (1835 - 1910), Advice to Youth
"History is the sum total of things that could have been avoided".
Konrad Adenauer
"What the public wants is the image of passion, not passion itself".
Roland Barthes
"There is nothing worse than a sharp image of a fuzzy concept".
Ansel Adams (1902 - 1984)
"Imagination is more important than knowledge, for knowledge is limited while imagination embraces the entire world".
Albert Einstein
"History is the discovering of the constant and universal principles of human nature".
David Hume
"Time is not measured by the passing of years but by what one does, what one feels, and what one achieves".
Jawaharlal Nehru
"The more sand that has escaped from the hourglass of our life, the clearer we should see through it".
Jean-Paul Sartre
"Whenever you find that you are on the side of the majority, it is time to reform".
Mark Twain (1835 - 1910)
"The reason lightning doesn't strike twice in the same place is that the same place isn't there the second time".
Willie Tyler
"Times have not become more violent. They have just become more televised".
Marilyn Manson (1969 - ), "I Don't Like The Media But The Media Likes Me" - Columbine statement
"One of the few good things about modern times: If you die horribly on television, you will not have died in vain. You will have entertained us".
Kurt Vonnegut (1922 - ), "Cold Turkey", In These Times, May 10, 2004

Days 57 & 58 - TASCHEN
http://www.taschen.com/pages/en/catalogue/books/sex/work/
facts/04408.htm
So, this is the story about Taschen that I was telling you about at the begining of this blog.
Here is the text from their site.
The New Erotic Photography
Hanson, Dian (ED)
Kroll, Eric
The most provocative modern image makers
"Imagine walking into a room filled with the world’s finest contemporary erotic photographers, each with a portfolio of his or her best work. As you browse the photographs they discuss inspiration, censorship, how to find models, and how to make a living capturing beautiful women on film and in pixels.
The New Erotic Photography is the room, and 82 photographers from 14 countries are the hosts of this intimate gathering. In this 608 page volume you will meet Ralph Gibson, Jan Saudek, Terry Richardson, Natacha Merritt, Petter Hegre, Richard Kern, Bob Carlos Clarke, Thomas Karsten and the many fresh new talents currently redefining eroticism. Playful, provocative and exuberantly sexy, these aren’t your granddad’s art nudes; this is The New Erotic Photography.
Photographers featured: Robert Adler, Werner Amann, Guido Argentini, Alethea Austin, Marc Baptiste, Daniel Bauer, Bruno Bisang, Lisa Boyle, Derek Caballero, Bob Carlos Clarke, Didier Carre, BT Charles, John Chilton, Robert Chouraqui, Jean Van Cleemput, Barney Cokeliss, Bob Coulter, Cristian Crisbasan, Yuri Dojc, Susan Egan, Andrew Einhorn, Alla Esipovich, Ivana Ford, Ed Fox, Peter Franck, Jody Frost, Perry Gallagher, Ralph Gibson, Steve Diet Goedde, Peter Gorman, Ludovic Goubet, James Graham, China Hamilton, Naomi Harris, Aaron Hawks, Petter Hegre, Mark Helfrich, Noritoshi Hirakawa, Mike James, Jive, Thomas Karsten, Richard Kern, Christine Kessler, Chas Ray Krider, Eric Kroll, Vlastimil Kula, Dennis Letbetter, Stefano Levi, Hervé Lewis, Kenn Lichtenwalter, Florian Lohmann, Ben Marcato, Olaf Martens, Natacha Merritt, Maki Miyashita, Craig Morey, Ken-ichi Murata, Dave Naz, Beatrice Neumann, Sakiko Nomura, David Perry, George Pitts, Collin Rae, Nicola Ranaldi, Terry Richardson, Markus Richter, Giovanni Sambuelli, Will Santillo, Jan Saudek, Joan Sinclair, Tony Stamolis, Julie Strain-Eastman, Missy Suicide, Brian Sullivan, Jeremy Thompson, Rebecca Tillett, Larry Utley, Mariano Vargas, Yasuji Watanabe, Ben Westwood, Michael White, Chip Willis."
The editors: Dian Hanson began her publishing career at Puritan magazine in 1976 and went on to edit a variety of adult titles, like Partner, Oui, Hooker, Juggs and Leg Show magazines. Most recently, she authored TASCHEN’S The History of Girly Magazines, Tom Poulton: The Secret Art of an English Gentleman and The Big Book of Breasts.
Eric Kroll has worked as a photojournalist for the New York Times, Der Spiegel, and Vogue, but is best known for his fetish photography appearing in magazines such as Leg Show and High Heeled Women, and for his TASCHEN monographs Fetish Girls and Beauty Parade. As a TASCHEN editor, he most recently edited The Wonderful World of Bill Ward.
Thanks Dian, Eric & whole Taschen team!
