[...] Echte Profis raten mit bei Magnum-Fotograf Alec Soth: Name the Magnum Photographer! Leider lässt sich aus den Frisuren nichts ableiten, ob Magnum-Fotografen eher zu fettigen oder trockenen Haar, Glatze oder Buschwerk auf dem Kopf neigen. [...]

oh well I enjoy the Blog ANYWAYS
Thanks for all your work Alex
June 28, 2007 at 11:38 am
uisssssssssssssssssssssssssssss¡¡¡¡¡ congratulations cary, just for one¡¡¡¡
June 28, 2007 at 1:31 pm
an especially interesting question, since so many pro artists are also back-turners (wasn’t there something on shunning in your post on the whitney biennial?).
another question, why do white men bother to shave their heads? it almost always looks so bad. you’re never going to look like mike jordan….
June 28, 2007 at 2:04 pm
If I were a balding white male, the first thing I would do is shave my head. You’ve got to admit its better than a comb-over.
June 28, 2007 at 2:35 pm
see what happens when you start a blog, Alec??? sorry to take the conversation off topic. by the way, saw a portrait photo of yours at Mills College and it took my breath away – really gorgeous. so thanks for that.
July 1, 2007 at 10:51 am
I knew R, thanks to you Alec. But I only got C, I, L, and P otherwise. Hmph.
