Gone Classical or Rollover Wagner

With digital compilations like “Bleeding Chunks of Wagner” Naxos is aiming to connect with listeners beyond the classical crowd. The title of the downloadable album is “Bleeding Chunks of Wagner,” a reference to an oft-quoted passage written in 1935 by English classical music critic Donald Tovey: “Defects of form are not a justifiable ground for criticism from listeners who profess to enjoy the bleeding chunks of butcher’s meat chopped from Wagner’s operas.” Cover photo, Chas Ray Krider’s Red Meat on Green Shag, was selected by Collin J Rae.  Read on more at LA TImes. “Bleeding Chunks of Wagner” can be down loaded at iTune

one beautiful woman’s opinion

“You’re a star, famous artist and author. Many photographers in Poland tried to recreate your “Motel Fetish”, but they failed.” Wanilianna, Poznan Poland, 8/18/2011. (Chas Ray will take her word for it.)

Dita Von Teese on Chas Ray Krider

Chas Ray Krider is one of my favourite fetish photographers.

I feel like I didn’t mention him awhile back when someone asked me for a list. He has two books, Motel Fetish and Do Not Disturb. Both books feature gorgeous women in dimly lit motel rooms, posing invitingly in the most luscious lingerie. If I were to list my fetishes, I would add motel sex to the list, so these books do a swell job of pushing my buttons. I’ll try to post more of his images over the next few weeks. They really are a delight. If you’d like to research him yourself, he has a wordpress blog, click the photo to enjoy some scandalous wonderment.

Dita Caricature

“a man needs a hobby”

“A man needs a hobby,” so I read somewhere. Collage is mine. My working premiss is; do not put anything in the collage you do not love. In this collage the central figure is Joe Shishido from Branded to Kill the 1967 Japanese yakuza film directed by Seijun Suzuki.

"Lo" by Chas Ray Krider

Riffe Gallery / Ohio Arts Council

Here’s Looking at You: Portraits in Ohio January 27 – April 17, 2011
Riffe Gallery, 77 South High St, Columbus OH 43215. Exhibition opening reception, Thursday January 27th, 5-7 p.m.

The 14 Ohio artists in the exhibition stretch the idea of what a portrait can be; through their eyes, we see not only the world but ourselves and others in a transformative new light. They are not constrained by a past art form but are energized and profoundly inspired by it. – Kay Koeninger, Curator

Five portraits by Chas Ray Krider are included in the exhibition.

some Fool did it

some Fool lifted and blogged one my Dita photo, in the process they bastardized the color. Re-blogging fine, but altering the photo? Here is Dita with acturate color.
