: Okay, I admit it, I like Larry Sultan's work and in the upcoming issue of W magazine, his photos illustrate the story of The Persian Conquest of Los Angeles. Curious to see his other images besides the 9 on W's website.
: LA Times' art blog Culture Monster reviews the “Sight Unseen : International Photography by Blind Artists" over at the California Museum of Photography. The exhibition consists of 87 works from 12 photographers.
For making art, blind artists face a special conundrum with camera-work. Photography is an artistic medium that is without tactile surface properties. Mexican photographer Nigenda highlights the dilemma by punching descriptive text into his photographs of a nude woman with a Braille writer, colliding a textual code with a visual one. Some can “see” one, the other or both.

: Looks like Men's Health is trying a new thing , a paid Apple app called "Men's Health Workouts" which for $1.99 gets you 18 workouts with 125+ exercises . This is brave new territory for magazines - diversifying their income from a different stream. Will this open flood gates to other magazine-related paid apps ? I get a feeling this is going to be the future. Contents can't always be free since someone is covering costs. I like listening to Adam Corrolla and currently he is free online but I know it costs him $$$ to put this on. His webcast carries no ads, and his website on his links to his guests. So somewhere in the future either we'll hear ads/see ads/or we'll be paying something to listen to him which I don't mind.
In any case, here's the link from Media Bistro "Fishbowl NY" blog.
