“You are not a dinosaur” began as a cooperative of 7 photographers. We took our name from a line in Bruce Holland Rogers’ (very) short story “Dinosaur” which asks how individuals cede (or don’t) to society’s expectations of becoming responsible grown-ups. This site allows us to bring to light artists, groups, and events from around the world that seem engaged in consonant thematic pursuits. T.W. 9.11.11 'You are not a dinosaur' on Flickr

Lukasz Wierzbowski
I’ve written before that in a world full of Urban Outfitters aspirants, Lukasz Wierzbowski’s work is singular; his best images lack the affected melancholy and commodified hipsterism common to that sort of photography. Whether contorted or unambiguously direct, his figures at times remind me of Egon Schiele and other fin de siècle expressionists who similarly punctured bourgeois pretensions by asserting something slightly unseemly just beneath the superficially lovely.

Kate Fowler and Mark Strandquist, “With Signs and Following”
A founding member of this loosely affiliated "dinosaur" collective, Kate Fowler, has a new still/film project in the works. She describes the project, "With Signs and Following" as "a documentary film that follows one of the last known snake handling churches in West Virginia, and more specifically its charismatic pastor, Mack Wolford. This documentary examines this little-known religion and the humble people that practice it." Additional information, and trailer here
