And now that television studios have gone fortunately dark, now is the perfect time to keen one’s vision on tangible art, like Alec Soth’s “Dog Days, Bogota,” [...]
I’ve had my hands full with a slick and glossy luxury gift guide this week, working to fill a book of pages with a kaleidoscopic variety of propped studio sets featuring everything from expensive kitchen shears to diamonds that far exceed my salary.
