Richard Edson, of Sonic Youth, has a photography show called "Beyond the Valley of the Micro-Bops" on at the Los Angeles Center for Digital Art, featuring gorgeous, precise and lush close-up photos of toys.

Richard Edson's pictures are close-ups of toys, shot with incredible attention to lighting, background, color, context, and focal points. The show will be running until April 5, so if you don't make the opening, you've still got time to check out the work.

I was just looking at this on Boing Boing. Oddly, Cory Doctorow doesn't seem to know that Richard hasn't been in Sonic Youth since 1981! Certainly no big deal, but how hard would it have been to write "former Sonic Youth drummer".

Great work regardless, and nice to get a glimpse of some of what Richard has been up to.
