Finding those who deserve fame, and proclaiming it to be the case is a tough, yet pleasing, job.

Welcome our newest Famers, Ned and Aya Rosen - Louche Lab.

There are a few sites involved here, from the original Dirty Lens blog, where I found Ned years ago now it seems, to Aya’s blog home world, their cooperative gets listed by default for it’s comprehensiveness.

I came upon Ned my first year blogging, at Dirty Lens, a blog where at the time, Ned, a photographer in NYC, was merely posting a collection of pictures taken with a camera phone, along with musings on his life, and life situation. I found him floating out there in the blogesphere when the blogesphere, except for those interested in the technical aspects of it, was not all that familiar to most of us.

I was 18 or 19 at the time, always touched by his words and appreciative of his photography.

Nine months later Ned, at more or less a crossroads in his life would happen upon a Flickr photo of some art which interested him, a photo which turned out to be from an artist living in Tel Aviv, Israel. Ned would go on to contact the artist, and eventually……the artist would become his wife.

Aya Rosen has posted their story Handmade Weddings: LoucheLab’s Love Story

Louch Lab is cooperative effort. An about section gives a briefing on the artists. Various links at the site will connect you with their art, and their other sites.
