San Francisco

I went to San Francisco this last week to find an apartment, instead I found a town home the first day !! So exciting, living in the city. Anywhooo that left the rest of my trip open for me to be a tourist and check out my new school. I didn't take as many shot's as I'd liked to, the weather was being quite temperamental, but San Fran's like that. I still think it's beautiful when it's raining, especially the people, I must say I'm becoming a sucker for the men there... dressing in suits and overcoat's, a world away from the SoCal (not quite dressed to impress) for sure.

xxoo

R.I.P

To say that 2009 has been hard on the photography community is an definitely an understatement. To date we've lost Irving Penn, Evelyn Hofer, Hellen Levitt, Luke Smalley, Julius Shulman and Polaroid. And now I'm sadden to hear of Larry Sultan's death.

my newest yet oldest addition

I just welcomed a new camera into my picture taking fam!

say hello to my new (to me) 1914 3a Autographic folding pocket Kodak I found hanging around a antique store the other day, this little beauty is art work in it's self. I also swooped up a pair of mint condition 1940 vintage Charles Jourdan shades straight from Paris, which are sooo back in style may I add, for those of you who are as obsessed with fashion as I am.

Anywhoo take a look at my new gem!!

I'm so in love...

sleep like this

I am fully aware that this video is a little dated, but I just love it so much.

Enjoy

books

I have about a million books all tucked away in boxes. I've been wanting to get some bookshelves to put them all on, however I haven't been able to find just the right system..until now.

I found this picture online, great bookshelf idea! simple yet oh so charming, don't you think?

Censorship

inspiration..

where to find it,

is this moving,

do people understand the way I think...?

can everyday be moving, touching, inspiring.

how do you get people to open there eyes and see life as it is, and be changed by it?

why do I always ask the complicated question's to which I know there is NO definitive answer, only hour upon hour long conversation filled with metaphor that causes me to think more, to dig deeper than the question itself.

every once and a while I'll find a piece that stops me,

I'll find a mind that intrigues me.

sad that this particular video and photo montage piece that curator Yasmina Reggad was asked to be removed from the Derby’s Guildhall gallery, as part of the Collectives Encounter project showing during the Format festival.

how do you censor life?

pardon the verbiage, but 'it is what it is.' life's not censored so how can art?

the same gallery had a series of shitty pictures(excuse the pun) 'pictures of shit,' that was not taken down.

so Im posting it, to some this may be controversial but at the end of the day it's still art. what makes this piece different from other nude pieces of work hung in galleries al over the world??

In my eyes this is a beautiful piece.

Full story here & council response here

things i love

so I'm moving, have I said that yet??

well I am,

& I'm soo excited !

anywhooo, I've been wanting to reduce my carbon foot print, & have been researching ways to live greener

I found a store in San Fran called Branch this store believes in "that products should be made in the most environmentally-responsible way possible, and that the best way to promote this practice is to do it in the marketplace"

These are a few of my favorite things...

how gorgeous are these disposable plates?

xxoo,
