Are we having fun yet?

Director/photographer Graydon Sheppard has just launched his latest series of photographs Are We Having Fun Yet on his website.

The intricacies of your existence do not fade away when you enter an amusement park, mount a carousel, or buy a corn dog.

These images were not created by looking for people or objects that matched a statement. Rather, they happened because the question “Are we having fun yet?” looped constantly in my mind while photographing.

These fun-seekers cannot escape themselves. This is evident in every blank but loaded expression, in every attempt to make something more than it is, in every disappointment that this promise of happiness is nothing more than a collection of grinding rusted metal in a litter-covered parking lot. Graydon Sheppard

The End

"Lettering buffs and cinephiles alike may enjoy this lovely Flickr set containing final frames of classic films. Romantically, these hearken back to an age before typesetting replaced hand-lettering as a matter of convenience, but sociologically they tell another interesting story as well."

Living in Three Centuries

"102 year-old
Chinese woman
who had lived her entire life
in the same mud house,
which stood behind the Beijing Hotel.

She spoke of
living through the
rule of China's last Emperor,
the Boxer Rebellion,
two World Wars
and the Communist Party's
rise to power.

She was afraid her home
was going to be torn down
because the hotel
was expanding."

You can check out the rest of the collection here .
Well worth a look.

ROIS D'AFRIQUE - Daniel Lainé

via Booklist:
From 1988 to 1991, Laine photographed 70 African monarchs "whose dynasties marked the history of Africa until the middle of the twentieth century." With hundreds of monarchs to choose from, Laine focused on those who continued to "retain a traditional and spiritual authority that is difficult for the Western mind to comprehend." Laine recalls the difficulties of getting permission for the photographs, the sensitive diplomatic negotiations involved in many cases. A war in Sudan prevented Laine from photographing the king of Shiluk, a descendant of black dynasties that ruled Egypt. Others, including the king of Swaziland, declined to be photographed. With each striking photograph, Laine provides a brief biography and historical notes about the tribe and its rituals. Among those photographed are Chukumela Nnam Obi II, the Oba of Ogba, Nigeria; El Hadj Sheehu Idris, emir of Zaria, Nigeria; and Goodwill Zwelethini, king of the Zulu, South Africa. The book includes historical background by Pierre Alexandre on the origins and significance of African kingdoms.
