Everybody who knows me knows how much I hate the new generation of “photographers” flooding the world.  With digital SLR’s i’m glad the medium is reaching a broader population, but the lack of education creates lack luster individuals who think that because they understand f/stop and shutter speed that they’re automatically labeled a photographer.  While I have no idea what the sole purpose of Art Pants is, two of my friends (Will Roegge and Linhberg Nguyen) have created a revolutionary website/blog.  The site contains photos they take on a daily basis, but rather than using crappy cell phone photos, they’ve gone full out showing people the extent of the capabilities of their Canon 5D’s and whatever other mediums they may use.  Both are ridiculously talented and while I never say this enough (for good reason) the two are gifted individual and I respect both in the field of film and photography.  Make sure you take a look at their site and follow on a regular basis because my prediction is you’ll be blown away over and over again by the images these two put out.  [ www.artpants.com ]

So i’m planning on doing a new section for Art of Clean where basically i’ll just be shooting some photos here and there of local hot spots I end up going to.  For the first one I introduce to you, the Original Pantry Cafe, or Pantry for short.  It’s located on the corner of 8th and Figueroa in downtown LA.  This place is just like Denny’s, but 100x better!  It hasn’t closed a day since it opened in 1924, and in 1950 they moved to their current location.  Anyways, it’s definitely a great place to check out.  Click the image to see the hi-res image which will fit perfectly on any computers running dual monitor and 1920x”"”" resolution.

Kristen Stewart by Craig McDean for Interview Magazine.  The shots are amazing.  Crisp, great white balance, framed well.. Kristen from Twilight looks amazing.

Carmen Kass shot by Mario Testino for Allure Magazine.  The image look like it was shot by a harsher light.  The white balance is great, slightly warm, but the photo straight glamour and i’m lovin it.
