Chris Steele-Perkins/Magnum
The New Yorker published a book review of Joseph O'Neill's "Netherland" yesterday, and it was accompanied by one of my favorite images of all time, which has been sitting on my desktop for about a year. I never knew who took it.
It was nice to finally put a name to this one; that name is Chris Steele-Perkins, who is a Magnum photographer. I've since been trolling through images from his books The Pleasure Principle from 1989, and Northern Exposures, from 2007.
They are decidedly weekend-y.
From the The Pleasure Principle:
Hypnotism session at Student Ball, 1989
From Northern Exposures, Photographs of Rural Life:
G.B. ENGLAND, Country Durham. Pheasant shooting, 2003.
See the both series in full here and here.

I'm going to have to email Jeffrey Ladd.
Have a great weekend, everyone; I'll be back Tuesday with some flaming flowers. I promise to attempt coherence.

I like the hypo shot! It reminds me of the Dodge Different commercials and also looks a lot like some of the people I see walking around everyday ;)
Enjoy the weekend!
C.S.P book "The Teds" is really amazing also. check it out if you haven't yet.
