Window Seat Wednesday

Such the lazy blogger am I; I’ve had half a dozen Window Seat Wednesday posts queued up for you and not gotten around to finalizing and posting them. But maybe a new month means a new leaf? Maybe I can get those Photo of the Day posts done too?June is also the month that partner … Continue reading

Photo of the Day

Deborah Luster‘s photographic series ‘Tooth for an Eye’ captures a dark side of the city of New Orleans with a firm clear gaze. All of the locations are sites of homicides and the street corners and empty lots seem to hold themselves motionless for their portraits like a sitter in an old daguerreotype.

20X200 Collectors’ Confab

You can see his latest work at Zza’s Wine Bar Gallery when it … Continue reading

Winter Uniform (via a-z west)

Check out the work of Andrea Zittel. I’m not sure I can properly convey in words how spectacular I think the these pieces are; coveting the dress and sweater especially. There is also desert living, indigo dyeing, a boy named Emmett, and a cat named Thunder Angel. Really worth a look! Now that it is … Continue reading

Today was the last day that one set of my folks, the Florida Folks, were in town so more beachy posts were in order. The Tenerife coastline. This shot reminded me very much … Continue reading
