8hands featured flickr stream: dan banda lee

When we decided to add flickr streams to the Caught 8handed blog, Dan Banda Lee was one of the first people I thought to feature. A few months have gone by, and today seems like the perfect time to feature his intimate stream. I have to admit I have the softest spot for the kind of work that Dan Banda Lee presents. Taking us in on the most personal level, we see the evolution of a life, from the first photos that he took of his wife, to their new baby, to their kids, to some of the best christmas cards I've ever seen - all taken with a sense of humor, honesty and style. Oh, and he shoots tons of great band portraits, like the Pipettes and Fujiya and Miyagi. Definitely a flickr stream that always keeps it on the real... Enjoy.

You can now add the Belgian ward_zwart to your list of underground-talent-that-you-can-tell-your-friends-you-knew-back-when-they- were-sweet-young-things-on-flickr-and-could-buy-their-work-for-$16. The kid works hard, churning out limited edition books of his portraits, flyers, illustrations for Bolshoi Gorod, Moscow's weekly city newspaper (I'd love to hear how that connection came about!), skateboards, and of course, the de rigueur tote bag and t-shirts. And he has that scratched out sketched out look down! Definitely worth a journey through his stream. Enjoy...

Glimpses, just glimpses of a life. Fjordscape's stream gives us moments: food just prepared or eaten, a cat lounging around the house, a walk in the forest, sheets just used. People occupy this space too, but are never with us. Quite the opposite, they always seem to have just looked away, or are not even aware that we're watching them.

Beautiful and a bit unnerving, it is truly a voyeur's paradise. Enjoy...

Remember those vanished years.

8hands featured flickr stream: Lou O' Bedlam

In continuation of my Gorilla vs. Bear post, I'd like to dedicate another post to a soon to be lost gem, polaroid film. Now, I have to admit, I'm not much of a polaroid user (more of a 120 holga girl now) but I'm shocked nonetheless. It is a sad sad time, and maybe I'm most scared because film may be the next to follow.

So, in honor of the untimely announcement that Polaroid will stop producing their legendary film, we will feature people that take polaroids to a whole other level.

One such person is Lou O'Bedlam. He shoots perty girls and hip boys on polaroid film, lending the look an even further intimacy. His 120 shots are also great, so I had to include them as well. Unfortunately, that will be all he's left with soon... Enjoy.

Tedementa!! Wow, who are you!?!? I see you make tote-bags and pillowcases and t-shirts and love your arts and crafts. You're from Argentina, right? You seem to be in a lot of exhibits and turn your whole world into your vision. Your friends look cool, and I love how they don't mind becoming triangles and circles and rainbows and pinetrees. Everything you do just has that little bit more, from your doodles to your collages to your self portraits with drawn in friends. I guess in the end, this is just a fan letter to you, dear tedementa, whoever you may be!
