Questions might include:
* Does anything that the person is wearing give you any clues? (Clothing, jewelry, makeup, hat, etc.)
* Besides the person himself/herself, are there any other objects in the portrait that give the viewer any clues? (objects that the person is holding, objects that are in the background, props such as chairs, tables, etc.)
* Does the way the person is standing or sitting tell you anything about them?
* What does the picture tell you about the time that the subject lived?
* Can you guess what country it was painted in?
* What makes this portrait unique?
* How does the portrait make you feel?
* Are you interested in the portrait?
* How do you think the person in the picture is feeling or what is their mood? How can you tell?
* Do you think the person posed for this portrait?
* Where is the person looking (at the viewer, away, at something else)?
* If there is more than one person in the picture, are they touching? What could this mean?
* What does the background and the objects in the background of the picture tell us?

I want to be where the BoC are in that picture, right now.
Outdoors clothes/countryside pictures are always cool. Obv there is a sense of dichotomy being played with there: futuristic/natural etc. The continuing notion of folktronica I suppose. BoC like to hide their faces a lot. Autechre dude on the right is looking into the future, dude on the left is looking at you i.e. the now. I wd like to go walking with these guys and just hang out, like. The Autechre picture is about roots. The BoC pic is about margins or borders.

So those huge machines that make us think retro wd be signifying the PHUTURE in the early 50s when that was taken. And Karlheinz looking out into it again. I think Aaron Funk might be skitting the "look into the future" pose. His zebra and starfish are cutely surrealist tho.

Okay, according to Wikipedia he was born in 1960, so I guess at 33 he would've looked old to the 14-year old me.

The machine fetish pics are always a little bit like the archetypal guitarist's pose with his weapon pushed into the camera, but at the same time Jelinek and Micronauts guy are slightly consumed or enwombed by their gear. Is that really what Basinski looks like? Not at all how I'd imagined him. I like that he's looking slightly bemused by the box in front of him like "WTF do I do with this?"
Maybe with the guys pictured without instruments there is some slight suggestion that the music, or their essence as music-makers, is outside of the actual machines themselves. Like primarily their music is a Platonic Form that happily exists prior to making or recording it.
I like this thread. They are mostly good portraits, all else aside. I've wallpapered the Stockhausen.

These are the three promo pics that came with the new Pole album, Steingarten. They're kinda weird, I've always thought of Pole as a very urban-sounding artist. I guess Steingarten has a bit more "natural" sound to it that his previous LPs though.

Also re: the first Murcof picture. He looks like a combination of a young Fidel Castro and Suge Knight.

compare & contrast w/mayer, now there's a smug looking rictus.
Kind of interesting you should mention that, because When I saw Theo Parrish DJ in the summer, I found him to be exactly like Michael Mayer, who I saw like a month before.
I'd never heard him DJ beforehand, or otherwise really, so correct me for an shortsightedness, but he mixed just like him, doing really quick 4-16 bar fades and just working the knobs for the 8 or so minutes in between. Also, the records also kept skipping, to which Theo kept making these absolutely great ridiculous faces like he had bit into a lemon or something. Interestingly enough, more or less the same thing was the case when I saw Michael Mayer, just without the funny faces, but they seemed to take the same attitude to DJ'ing.
That's my unnecessary anecdote.

Villalobos looks like Adrian Brody in the beach shot. If those are in Chile then they are presumably taken in the Atacama, home of totally radical telescopes and lagoons: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atacama_Desert

yea i was wondering if it was the atacama. i just didn't see any water when i was there. but i think there might be other places in chile/atacama that look more like the villalobos photo.
he does look like adrian brody in that photo.
