All of the above photographs
were taken by
Dominique Nabokov
the no frills "vibe" photographer
who had her heyday in the '90s
but is due for a
comeback.
She was doing 15 years ago,
what everyone is striving for now,
a relaxed, lived-in, natural,
no flash, no flowers, no moving the furniture around
thang
that seems so easy to do,
but isn't.
Hats off to
Dominique!!!
I just added Dominique's
preface to her book
"New York Living Rooms"
I love her attitude,
which is fresh now,
and unheard of in the
slick 90's.
thanks! just bought a 9 dollar copy on your recommendation!

I just ordered this last week from Amazon based on her interview in the new Apartamento. Much more compelling than their normal features. Can't wait for it to show up.
ReplyDeleteTaylor Mead's is the most interesting.
ReplyDeleteOh man, I dig these.
ReplyDeletehave the paris one which is really nice too.
ReplyDeletethe title "rich&famous" is a little off in regard to the work though...
It's true - this seems really before-the-fact. PS I got stuck in a kind of pendulum between Al Sharpton and Barbara Jakobsen.
ReplyDeletefunny, i find all of these ones a bit clinical compared with the london and paris ones
