I was reading an interesting post on the "We English" blog about a new book that has recently been published, No Such Thing As Society: Photography in Britiain, 1967-1987 by David Alan Mellor (Hayward Publishing, London, 2008) and it reminded me of a book I purchased about a year ago at a used book store on 16th street and Valencia in San Francisco, British Photography towards a Bigger Picture (Aperture Foundation, 1988). Fascinating essays, one of which "Romances of Decay, Elegies for the Future," was written by David Mellor, who is also the curator of, "No Such Thing As Sociey."
"We English: No Such Thing As Society" There are some links, one of which is an interview with the curator David Alan Mellor and a review of the project in Frieze...

Advanced Consumer Capitalism
After a brainstorming meeting with the VidSF group, a couple weeks back, i went out taking pictures somewhat inspired trying to get ideas together for a potential video piece.
Besides the portraits (and stuff) I enjoy taking, I've been trying to wrap my brain around creating some kind of journalism / documentary project; see related blog post
" Whatever Happened to the New Journalism?"
Any who......
Here is an informative piece concerning the commercial real estate market produced by "trogers" on VidSF...
