Saw the film yesterday the first time: a must see!

Bowling for Columbine

“I actually did something other than watch NBA TV the other night. I took my bride, Lori, to the movies to see Michael Moore’s “Bowling for Columbine.” It’s powerfully brilliant. Never forget that sacred cows make the best hamburger. Then driving away from Sacramento, I heard Moore interviewed on “60 Minutes” over the radio. I am often criticized for doing too much. But like every time I speak with coach Wooden, I realize, as I did last night, that I’m not doing nearly enough.”

Basketball Great, Bill Walton

“Bowling for Columbine” is riveting and scary, and its vision of a society racked by fear, riven by inequality and armed to the teeth is neither comforting nor easily wished away.
–A. O. Scott, The New York Times

New Photography Exhibition: Peter Dench, Drink UK

Britain has become a nation of binge drinkers. The statistics are alarming - 121% more alcohol is being consumed than 50 years ago. The British are drinking younger, longer, faster and more cheaply than ever before. Binge drinking followed by public order problems are becoming increasingly common in towns and cities.

Latvia´s “strongest man” competition…

The Book contains some of my images, good printed, maybe design/order a little too chaotic. Most of the pictures you find here.
