I was in Miami last night at
the launch party for the
phone tattoo artist Ami James designed for Motorola. I must admit I was
dubious when I heard about the phone-it sounded gimmicky. But looking at them
in person the graphic quality of the designs made sense on the flat surface of
the RAZR; a different kind of skin. I didn’t get it together to actually shoot
any of the phones as I was too busy surreptitiously shooting him from behind as
he hung with his crew. The shaved head, the arms bursting with veins, completely sleaved, the white t-shirt, the pin-strip suit: very nice.
Why I didn’t go up,
talk to him and take his picture like a normal, psychologically healthy member
of the press I don’t know. I guess I like it a little freaky.
