I’m experimenting with Vine, and it might end up being a fun way to show books. My favourite photographer, Garry Trinh, gave me this beautiful one of a kind book when we met up in Australia. Make sure you follow him @garrytrinh, he’s always posting really great work.

First off, thank you all for making Booooooom such an awesome little community. I have so much fun working on this site every day (and night). I’m really excited to show you the things I have lined up for this next year, but more on that later!
Rather than compile a boring year-end “best of” list, I’ve gathered 64 photos by 64 photographers that I came across in 2009. The photos weren’t necessarily produced this past year, I simply encountered them for the first time in the last 365 days.
I’ve been sitting here, staring at these photographs for a few hours now, and I’ve decided I’d like nothing more than to remember each of them until the day I die.
I hope you enjoy them. Happy New Year!
Our Tangents art show is just a few days away (Friday)! Here’s artist interview #3! Introducing Garry Trinh!

GARRY TRINH INTERVIEW
Is it true that Australians are to blame for “Uggs”?
Is it’s true and proud of them we are.
In your humble opinion, what is the worst movie of all time?
I haven’t kept a list of movies I hate. I tend to see the good in all things. However, I felt physically nauseous while watching Cloverfield on the big screen and really really needed to leave the cinema. Those handycam shots made me feel like I was on a two hour roller coaster. Took a day to recover from the experience.
I was immediately drawn to the humour in your work, especially in your “snaps”. Do people ever laugh out loud when they encounter your work in a gallery setting?
That would be a great reaction if people laughed out loud. The people that look at my work often have a bewildered expression on their face. I don’t think they take the time to really LOOK. I feel the need to explain the photograph to them. I can not decided if my humour is just personal or universal.
I can’t keep it secret any longer, I am extremely excited to announce the first-ever Booooooom art show, Tangents!
I have joined forces with the folks at Lifetime Collective to bring together six amazing artists for a group show here in Vancouver. November 13th. 8PM. Lifetime Space (68 5th Ave West).
The artists are: Erika Somogyi, Garry Trinh, Kenichi Hoshine, Ben Tour, Luke Ramsey, and Jennilee Marigomen.
Three locals, and three out of towners, all supremely talented. It is going to be an amazing show.
