Last weekend, I attempted to document Michael’s latest installation. He’s got a bunch of it (though not, as of yet, any of the photographs I took) up on his portfolio website. His recent work deals with models (but not the hot, sexy, wearing-nothing-but-sultry-expressions kind) and is worth looking at and thinking about. Talk about your simulacra!

And, speaking of models (yes, the hot, sexy, wearing-nothing-but-sultry-expressions kind), check out Aaron Cansler’s portfolio site. I ran into Aaron at a subway stop the other day, and totally ignored him because I thought he was someone who merely looked like someone I knew, but wasn’t. (But he was.) (Sorry, Aaron!) (Talk about your pseudo-simulacra!)

Also, in other new work (not related to models or simulacra): theplasticfactory.us just finished another website, for Suejin Youn, a fellow Pratt photo MFA student. Her work deals with newly acquired domesticity, and her prints are absolutely gorgeous. Keep an eye on her work!
