"I think that one’s understanding of the world is important and applicable to everything one makes. How could it not be? There is, perhaps unfortunately at times, no way to escape oneself." - from A Conversation with Ahndraya Parlato & Gregory Halpern by Try Hard Magazine’s Patrick Mason and Benjamin Chadbond on Lavalette’s blog.
“If you could fill each square on a calendar with a picture instead of a number, and if each picture could show clearly some event or landscape or recollection or dream that made each day memorable, then after a long time and from a great distance the hundreds of pictures might rearrange themselves to form surprising patterns.” – Tamarisk Row by Gerald Murnane (1974)
Try Hard Magazine interviewed Jason Fulford for Photobook Festival Melbourne.
Hi friends! We're super pleased to let you know that we just launched Try Hard Magazine issue two — featuring Jackson Eaton, Lee Grant, Kathryn Partridge, Isobel Parker Philip, Patrick Pound, Jacob Raupach and Justine Varga. We would like to thank the above artists and writers for their time and contributions to the magazine. As many of you already know Try Hard operates without any money or support and can/has only been made possible because of their generosity. We really hope you like issue two (and if you do please share!). We'll see you in a couple of months for issue three. Cheers, Benjamin and Patrick.

Raymond Carver with covers by Todd Hido. Two of our favorite things! Cool summer nights. Windows open. Lamps burning. Fruit in the bowl. And your head on my shoulder. These the happiest moments in the day. Next to the early morning hours, of course. And the time just before lunch. And the afternoon, and early evening hours. But I do love these summer nights. Even more, I think, than those other times. The work finished for the day. And no one who can reach us now. Or ever.
Simone Rosenbauer Interview for reGeneration2.
When Patrick and I started working on Try Hard Magazine some months ago a lot of people were asking us if we were ever going to put our own photographic work into the magazine. Our answer then was probably not and I think that still stands. But we thought every now and again would like to keep you up to date with what we're both personally working on on this blog. Next month for Sydney Fringe festival I'm in an emerging artists exhibition called Drunken Lustre at Artsite. The show is curated by Jaime Tsai and Anthony Springford and features 14 vastly different young, emerging artists. One of my images from the show has as been used for the poster (above). If you're around on Sunday the 8th of September come by and check it out. More information [here]
