Frames of Reference (Part 3)
The pool ....
Another round of photos and visuals…. but this time…. pool themed. I love the pool. If I wasn’t such a lazy piece of shit, I would have started working on my own photographic series featuring Chicago’s very own public pool landscape. It’s technically not too late to start. Surely the pools are open until labor day at least. Enough about me. Let’s get this crackin.
Stills from 3 Women (1977) // Robert Altman
Paintings by Noah Davis
This is so obvious that it’s almost not worth saying, but I was really floored seeing these paintings in person at the Hammer Museum in L.A… of course, screenshots on a little phone can never do artwork justice.

Swimmers (1978-1982) // Larry Sultan
Stills and Movie Poster from Sexy Beast (2000) // Johnathon Glazer
The pool is special place. One of few places left where kids rejoice together in a non-phone related activity and everyone is - even if just for a brief moment - unemployed.
That’s the end.
I’ll catch you guys at the pool ;)
