The New Yorker, Chris Steele-Perkins, and a Long Weekend

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!
