Bingaman X Bekman!!!

Photo by Summer Hot Shot Kate Bingaman.

One of my favorite pastimes is spying on Kate Bingaman. You may (well, you should) know her as the person behind Obsessive Consumption. She also teaches graphic design at Mississippi State University, and in connection with that she has a newish site going that basically seems geared toward, you know, people taking her classes — but check out the trove of cool images linked from this recent post. See why I’m spying?

Anyway, today my surveillance revealed the following: She is one of ten photographers included in a Jen Bekman project called “Hey Hot Shot!” (“Hey, Hot Shot is the latest effort by Jen Bekman to discover and support emerging artists. Over the past three years, the gallery has established its reputation as a champion of young and emerging artists.”) Since I’m a fan of Bekman and her gallery as well, I’m going to do my best to make it to the September 6 opening, and I think you should, too.

(Today’s headline is a tribute to the blog High Snobiety, even though that site has absolutely no relationship to the above. On any level. At all.)
