A Physical Fraction

I have always been a fan of Dazed & Confused magazine, well not always. I wasn't born loving the magazine. But after buying a copy from the paper weight shop, I completely fell in love with how different it was. It gave me a new perception on how to view certain things. It gave me insight into foreign cultures. Cultures that you wouldnt usually be exposed to on TV. Especially if you dont have DSTV and have do with SABC 1 and 2 and Etv. But such is life. The government is always going to be there to limit our media just to dumb the majority of the population down just so that they can stay in control and avoid any kind of uprising or revolution. Its the truth. Why do you think they keep off most of the cool documentaries and enlightening films like waking life off the networks, while filling it up with shows like X factor and pop idols or the young and the restless.

Off the topic much?

The always cool Joaquin Phoenix. Looks like he is contemplating his rap / flim/ documentary/ mockumentary career.

The trends were always interesting to keep tabs on. Whether it was music or art, film, fashion or even architecture sometimes. They were always ahead of the game. So thats what this post it about. My deep love for the magazine. I have always appreciated their experimental approach on editorial and their layout design. Its very refreshing in our current national context where magazine design is concerned. I really do love ID magazine as well but I will leave that for another future thought. I have acquired a couple of issues over the years. And I look after them the way a guy looks after his treasured first car. With pure unconditional love. (Wow I cant believe how many times I used the word love in this post, I should say 'hate' more often) Anyway. Heres some information on the magazine:

A trailblazer for emerging talent and proudly independent, Dazed & Confused magazine aims to set the cultural agenda, both on and offline.

Heres Kate. Living life, doing her thing, which is usually appearing half naked, or suma completely naked, depending on her mood I guess. Still love her though.
