be patient : James D. Griffioen Photographer Tom Craig's best shot | Art and design I've been to 90 countries and the days when I can just enjoy a place on its own merits are long gone. I am constantly trying to join the dots, to figure out why we're eating croissant in the Congo, why that Inuit is so drunk, whether that marsupial can really be carnivorous. Every detail says something telling about the there and then. I first worked with the journalist AA Gill on a trip to Chad for a Médecins Sans Frontières book. I heard he had a reputation for not getting along with photographers, but we did, famously, and have been working together ever since. People are always quite surprised that neither of us know much about the places we visit. In this case we were in Albania for six days in 2006. I don't know whether these men were unemployed, had been thrown out of their houses by their wives or were just hanging out. It was a moment that seemed to capture the place, and set stories running in my mind. Born: 1974, Truro, Cornwall Studied: Biology at Edinburgh university

PIETER HUGO - Photographer Milton Glaser Artificial Owl theartistandhismodel Amy Stein | Photography | Blog Saul Bass SAUL BASS (1920-1996) was not only one of the great graphic designers of the mid-20th century but the undisputed master of film title design thanks to his collaborations with Alfred Hitchcock, Otto Preminger and Martin Scorsese. When the reels of film for Otto Preminger’s controversial new drugs movie, The Man with the Golden Arm, arrived at US movie theatres in 1955, a note was stuck on the cans - "Projectionists – pull curtain before titles". Until then, the lists of cast and crew members which passed for movie titles were so dull that projectionists only pulled back the curtains to reveal the screen once they’d finished. But Preminger wanted his audience to see The Man with the Golden Arm’s titles as an integral part of the film. The movie’s theme was the struggle of its hero - a jazz musician played by Frank Sinatra - to overcome his heroin addiction. Designed by the graphic designer Saul Bass the titles featured an animated black paper-cut-out of a heroin addict’s arm. Biography
