Cindy Sherman

I know Cindy Sherman best for her conceptual portraits which explore women's roles and representation in society and the media. For me her work also raises issues of sexuality,  gender, identity and stereotypes. The work I know her for best is her photographic collection The Unititled Film Stills, where she places herself as an unknown actress in shots resembling various film genres.




An interesting interview with Sherman on her work http://www.jca-online.com/sherman.html

Procrastination (Tales of Mere Existence)

DO YOU LIKE MY PONYTAIL?

Ruined Urban High Density Sites


Ruins, what is it that fascinates me about places that are no more than ghosts now but once bustled with people. This website has some great examples of one abroad but my favorites are the British sea side resorts once hugely populated and now not so much
