Pulp Fiction
At every flea market, there's always that one stall that's riddled with piles of crusty old books still sporting the dust from 1982 or some other forgotten time. It usually sits somewhere between the Chinese electronics stall (with that buggy that drives into walls and flips over, parading in a box out the front), the useless leather goods store (where you can purchase your own personalised name buckle, as long as your not too fussed about the correct spelling) and the ugg boot or native wildlife watercolor illustration stall. I often skim over the illustration on the covers and pay my respects to what is now a bit of a lost art.
I have the feeling photographer Thomas Allen may have spent a fair bit of time at flea markets before his Pulp Fiction exhibition in 2006. The series featured photographs of scenes created by cutting out and breathing life into the illustrations in vintage novels. The end result is something truly unique. Here are some samples of his work...

This is something else. I like it, taking old, otherwise trite work and putting it in a new context. Great find.

LOL @ earwax. I have never been a big fan of Pioneer headphones. The last Pioneer headphones i purchased were the SE-NC70S and in about three months the right side died out and the battery life was crap. What I do like about pioneer is the sound q...
Well I have the 2006 80 GB classic & the 32GB iPod touch both sound qualities are great but I must agree about the classic being better. I've been getting alot positive feedback about Sennheiser so I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the info!

lol dear Mr. Wolf, I've gone down this road before. I can't handle the uncertainty and mind boggle. Have you seen the movie "The Believer"? If so, remember the end? The dude keeps climbing the stairs, again and again, each time facing the same man...
