YOKO ONO retrospective at MOMA, Summer 2015

Why Yoko Ono Is Her Own Breed Of Celebrity 

by Priscilla Frank

"Like anybody else I feel sad, quite often, I suppose," Ono said. "Nowadays, I feel sad a lot because the world is in turmoil. One thing John taught all of us is that when we're sad, we do what we can do to make ourselves feel better. We create work. I do a lot of that. When I'm feeling the emptiness I always go back to making something."
"Yoko Ono: One Woman Show, 1960–1971" will run from May 17–September 7, 2015 at MoMA.

DAISUKE YOKOTA

SHOOT, PRINT, REPEAT: AN INTERVIEW WITH DAISUKE YOKOTA

Victor Cobo Interview

VICTOR COBO INTERVIEW

"Right now I am strictly photography based because the idea of “the honesty” of the snapshot still fascinates me, but I experiment with different cameras.  35mm film and digital (never SLR’s), Polaroid’s and the Holga.  If it’s 35mm film I shoot drugstore film and get the drugstore to develope the rolls.  If the negatives come back scratched I am so happy!  I also love experimenting with the Rolleiflex 3.5f on a tripod.  The richness of the portraits are just amazing and I feel like this is a new medium for me instead of using small cameras with that have a built in flash.  To be honest I don’t really care what cameras I use in the future.  I hope to keep creating photographic series that reflect different chapters in my life."
