I got an email this week from me Tim Quirey, the author of “Cr(e)ate” which is a book of photography of milkcrates all over the world. His work took him to Morocco, New Zealand, London, Paris, Barcelona, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, and Canberra. I’m so siked this has been done, and I hope to feature Tim in the future. Support the crate love everywhere!
In the north of Jersey a milkcrate family was brought to life by Ried Bingham. See the video making of here.
I spent last week in Chicago. Almost all the street musicians, and pan handlers rock the milkcrates. This gentleman near the Niketown store, had a sweet milkcrate set up, and some crazy patent leather kicks.
Austrailia is pushing the milkcrate lifestyle forward. From designer Stefan Lie, comes the milkcrate lounge chair. 20 milkcrates and some twist ties, and you are on your way. I need to get to Austrailia soon.
I recent email from one of our viewers has clued me into a whole new world of milkcrate antics. So, go to flickr and search for milkcrate. You may find this one (above) by C-monster.
This aussie is pretty serious about milkcrate theft, so he redsigned the milkcrate for the ABC/AU show, the New Inventors. How can you really improve something so perfect. From the abc web page: “Most people have found that milk crates are ideal for storage at home and this discovery has led to milk crates going missing. Milk crates have be known to be used for safe storage of vinyl records, used as seating stools, as a stand at concerts and parades to catch a better view and sometimes when partnered with other milk crates even used as a strong bed base.” Seems like even ABC is rooting against him. The video is some funny/not funny stuff. – John Freeborn 5-30-06
The man holds 100 world records. This one he didn’t quite get, but a great photo none the less.
Right out of a fake Milkcrate Digest story comes some real news.
