preface

*it's not a cabaret...but it could be.

On the stage of our weblog, myriad shapes, forms and visions will astound your senses. You will be privy to the most exotic and fantastic landscapes day after day. Sacred bovine from across the world will parade forth, before your very eyes.

Every day, *it's not a cabaret will feature a single performance from our catalog of extraordinary specimens—from the siren of Malibu Beach to the Flying Frankfurter Space Women of Germany. Words and objects will present themselves to you, our humble audience, in angles and dimensions heretofore unknown.

Shot solely with our Polaroid Land Camera 360, these images both replicate the real world in its fantastic glory as well as offer a serendipitous look at spectres of the spirit world; that is, the imperfection that can only be caught on film.

It's not a cabaret, it is the unparalleled vision of true life.

Benjamin Légier

A native of Le Berry, France, my parents actually discovered me between two folds of the red carpet. Ever since, my interests have been predisposed towards fashion and photography, with a special love for vintage cameras. I met Patrick on a nature hunt in the Hollywood Hills, and over the last year, we've made friends with cows in most of the 50 United States.


Patrick Janelle

In 2008, Benjamin and I met on the set of a late night infomercial in Los Angeles. I immediately perceived his keen sense of style and our mutual love of gratin de fromage. Since then, we've traveled the globe in search of the world's finest tiny hotdogs. We landed in Germany, where I practice graphic design from my small studio in downtown Frankfurt.
