His rookie season was almost a total loss. Long signed before he was even drafted and he’ll be present at the first workout. Skipping your first NFL training camp while haggling over a few million dollars — out of dozens of millions on the table — is a good way to get yourself into.

Prague Post – Apr 23, 2008
m Langhans Galerie Praha is commemorating its five-year anniversary with a retrospective of the Japanese photographer Miyako Ishiuchi. It is the first such show in Europe for this artist who gained wider attention internationally after her photo series “Mother’s” was exhibited at the Venice Biennale in 2005. The mostly black-and-white photos by Ishiuchi (born in 1947) can be described above all as beautifully haunted with memories — both personal and anonymous — and full of secrets and long-forgotten times both good and bad. One of her main territories of exploration is the human skin. In her first series of photos on the gallery’s ground floor there are six large extreme close-ups (along with three oddly placed smaller pictures) of aged skin. In the series “1906 to the Skin” (1991–93) the photos of 85-year-old master Butoh dancer Kazuo Ohno are arresting if occasionally unsettling in their stark portrayal of the aging process… The mostly black-and-white photos by Ishiuchi (born in 1947) can be described above all as beautifully haunted with memories — both personal and anonymous — and full of secrets and long-forgotten times both good and bad.

Framed in elegant silver-painted wooden frames these black-and-white shots capture the essence of life — that which holds us together till the end our creviced and withered skin. Downstairs there are selected photos from earlier in Ishiuchi’s career. Her series “Apartment” (1977–78) reveals an underclass in Japan that foreigners hardly ever see.
