When our boyfriend shows up, we still clutch our cellphone

This guy came up and greeted the young woman after she had been sitting alone for 5-10 minutes, at the 72nd Street entrance on the west side of Central Park. Click here to see how morose she looked before he arrived. I think maybe she was waiting for him to call on her cellphone (which she continues to hold onto here), but he appeared in person. Hopefully they lived happily ever after…

***************************************

Looking back on some old photos from 40-50 years ago, I was struck by how visible the differences were between the culture of then, versus the culture of now. In some cases, it was evident from the things people wore, or carried, or did, back then which they no longer do today. But sometimes it was the opposite: things that didn’t exist back in the 1960s and 1970s have become a pervasive part of today’s culture.

A good example is the cellphone: 20 years ago, it simply didn’t exist. Even ten years ago, it was a relatively uncommon sight, and usually only on major streets of big cities. Today, of course, cell phones are everywhere, and everyone is using them in a variety of culture contexts.

However, I don’t think this is a permanent phenomenon; after all, if you think back to the early 1980s, you probably would have seen a lot of people carrying Sony Walkmans, or "boom-box" portable radios — all of which have disappeared…

If Moore’s Law (which basically says that computers double in power every 18 months) holds up for another decade, then we’ll have computerized gadgets approximately 100 times smaller, faster, cheaper, and better — which means far better integration of music, camera, messaging, and phone, but also the possibility of the devices being so tiny that they’re embedded into our eyeglasses, our earrings, or a tattoo on our forehead.

So the point of this album is to provide a frame of reference — so that we can (hopefully) look back 10-20 years from now, and say, "Wasn’t it really weird that we behaved in such bizarre ways while we interacted with those primitive devices?"

Come on honey, let’s go down to the beach so you can wear your hip huggers and cowboy hat and henna tattoo and practice being a whore!

We cross one arm across our stomach, and stick it under our other elbow while we’re talking…

This was taken in Verdi Square. I took about a dozen photos of this woman, but she basically didn’t change her pose at all, as she wandered about Verdi Square, engrossed in a conversation…

We’re very good at carrying things in one hand, while using the other hand to call/text/tweet on our phone

This woman was crossing Broadway, from the west to the east side, at 91st Street. I’ve always found it interesting to see exactly how people hold onto their cellphones, especially when they’ve got their other hand occupied, and when they’re trying to do something that requires at least a minimal degree of attention, like crossing a street…

Our kids know that we’re ignoring them when we call someone on the cell phone after telling them we’d take them to the park

Another Tease


Image by dollen
We have done a handful of videos that are more/less a documentary of a photographer shooting a fashion show in a night club. Or maybe it’s a documentary of models getting drunk? Either way it’s a good time. We always make a point of using music in our videos that is awesome but mostly unknown.

So, we were very happy to see a band pop-up on Lala.com that we have been fans of for a long time!

That Rabbit’s Dyn-o-mite! on lala.com/zH3cI We used the song "Another Tease" on this video
… and if you like that here are the rest of the videos – Vimeo and Viddler

So in honor of the Dyno Bunny hitting Lala.com we of course titled this totally unrelated image of Alix Antoher Tease.
Thanks to all who have signed up for the Dollen Newsletter Thingy We have some more very Dollen stuff coming out in the next one. I can”t believe how many people have challenged us to a dance-off already.

If’n you have something to ask or exclaim to us, ask away.

btw.. we totally stole this idea from Ricardo Canhoto who is way cooler than us. He has a ton of questions already including one from us about the gray things in his studio. (Can’t find the image of it)
