Vans and the places they were

Vans and the places they were documents surviving 70’s and 80’s era conversion vans parked on streets throughout the Bay Area and Southern California. The project, led by Joe Stevens, began in 1996 and currently consists of hundreds of images shot on 120 film and examines the dialogue which exists between a van’s design aesthetic and that of its surrounding environment.

As these types of vans are becoming a dying breed, Joe states, “consequently the goal of the project is to one day shoot the last remaining van on the final frame of photographic film in existence. Then the project will be finished.”

If you’re ever feeling cynical or sad at heart, a quick look at the photography of Max Wanger might be the thing to lift your spirits. I’m loving the above portraits of the couple at the zoo in particular.

Sacha Hilton

A blog to watch comes from 17 year old photographer Sacha Hilton. He and his friends seem to have Parisian cool on lock, and he captures their weekend escapades nicely through an image diary.
