JettyGirl.com spends some time with Lauren Sweeney
Global Surf News – Oct 17, 2007
com is pleased to announce the release of our newest “Five Minutes” feature showcasing the ultra-powerful Lauren Sweeney. Pushing the limits of high performance surfing in the reef and beach breaks of North San Diego County California Lauren’s surfing is characterized by huge spray-throwing snaps and a diverse arsenal of aerial maneuvers. Five Minutes with Lauren Sweeney includes a brief interview an extensive photo gallery and a QuickTime video clip of Lauren’s fantastic frontside reverse. JettyGirl: First off how are you? We’ve heard that you just returned from a fun trip to Peru. Good times?Lauren Sweeney: I’m doing real well after a month escape to Peru. That country is amazing from Machu Picchu in the Andes to fun beach breaks in the south and endless lefts in the north. What’s not to love about that kind of Latin American paradise? I also got to hang out with my friend Julia Christian and husband Magoo which was another treat in itself… All the waves in the north are awesome but Mancora is just this peeling left that doesn’t break too heavy but is absolutely perfect for carving until your legs simply hurt. JG: With all the traveling professional surfers do it seems like you all lead such glamorous lives. Does image meet reality or do you have to work in other jobs to make ends meet?LS: The lucky ones pretty much get to surf for a living but I wouldn’t exactly say the traveling is glamorous although it is fun! It’s not really a topic for discussion but I would have to estimate that funding has to come from somewhere and sometimes that source is a credit card or another job. JG: You’re currently attending college. Where do you go to school and what area of academics are you focused on?LS: I attend the University of California San Diego (UCSD) and I’m a history major. This is my last year and I intend to graduate in June 2008.

The Independent – Independent – Oct 17, 2007
ActionAid decided to start collecting this number of eyes for its photo petition back in 2003 to show world leaders that the steps they take to deliver on their promise around HIV treatment are being closely watched. The figure of 8000 – which has just been reached – was in solidarity with the number of people who die of Aids each day. ActionAid decided to start collecting this number of eyes for its photo petition back in 2003 to show world leaders that the steps they take to deliver on their promise around HIV treatment are being closely watched. The figure of 8000 – which has just been reached – was in solidarity with the number of people who die of Aids each day… “A friendly campaigner who happened to live in an old Routemaster up north volunteered his services and before we knew it we were on the road to 2010″ says Murphy. During that week of World Aids Day 2005 the bus – which had the eyes displayed both outside and in – provided a meeting venue for campaigners and decision makers including Tony Blair Hilary Benn Development Ministers and Ambassadors from all EU countries South African politicians and over 80 MPs. “When Blair got on the bus and saw this crazy looking gallery of eyes he was like ‘We really are being watched’ and we said ‘Yes you are. ‘ That gave us a chance to lobby him about what he was going to do on the issue. “It was in 2006 that the first Global Week of Action on Aids occurred a time to remind politicians that people all over the world – not just the UK – were keeping an eye on the 2010 target. “So on 22 May we unveiled a world map made up of eyeballs to Hilary Benn and other MPs” says Murphy. “In March this year we used this map to target the Secretary of State again cornering him in advance of the G8 Development Minister’s Meeting to ask him some pretty tricky questions.
Local artists receive awards from Hemet group
Press-Enterprise – Oct 17, 2007
Melton was awarded Best in Show for Fine Art for her building façade collagraph which defines the constructive process of gluing objects to the surface of a plate of Masonite or chipboard to create a low relief. When the board is inked and then run through a press with paper on top the textures are transferred to the paper. “The inking takes a while” said Melton of Hemet. Ink is forced into the grooves to accentuate all the relief… He admits one of his favorites is a recent one titled “Exile” that includes a statue of a woman looking past a barbed wire fence. “It represents anybody who is yearning to get to the other side” said Stephens of Hemet. “This photo is hanging in the lobby at the dyssey Women's Center in Atlanta. Stephens the gallery's director said its new location has given it 10 times the foot traffic it used to have. This month's winners will have their works on display through Nov.

Witkiewicz captures the morose sensitive face of the young pianist Arthur Rubinstein tightly framed; Lucia Moholy a photographer married to Moholy-Nagy takes a close-up of the introspective Franz Roh a German photographer. A few images later Roh’s “Greeting neself” an eerie negative print shows a woman kissing her reflection in a mirror implying narcissism and same-sex love. Skip to next paragraph Multimedia… The exhibition’s final section returns to photomontage with works made just before or during World War II. Various nightmares press forward from the hand-colored Surrealist grotesques of Jindrich Heisler to the spare photomontages from 1945 by Wladyslaw Strzeminski where stainlike abstract forms share empty space with images from concentration camps. Here the show comes into focus as a useful outline for modern photography that also predicts some of the photo-based experimental work of the 1980s and ’90s. ne of the final works by Teige shows several female forms whole and fragmented hovering over the stage of a rococo opera house. The contrast of frivolous architecture and sensuous flesh pits old against new public against private and institutional authority against the imperatives of the body. The mind speeds forward. It could easily be a feminist collage made in the 1970s by Martha Rosler.

New York Times – Oct 17, 2007
“If it looked like painting it was art” Mr. Ewing noted of photographers’ struggle to gain recognition as artists. Back in New York Steichen founded the Photo-Secession group with Alfred Stieglitz 15 years his senior and contributed to a quarterly called Camera Work. And it was thanks to Steichen’s Paris connections that… Steichen’s pictorialist period ended in 1917 when he joined the United States Army and created an aerial photography unit in northern France to gather intelligence about artillery positions and troop movements behind enemy lines. “This meant developing new techniques specifically how to deal with the vibrations of propellers” Mr. After the war Steichen’s lifelong interest in horticulture resulted in near-abstract images of flowers plants and insects but a more crucial watershed came in 1923 when Cond?ast hired him.
