It's been raining in Boston. A lot. Today, though, it seemed really lovely. I'm not quite sure why.

Ghosts, Westminster Abbey, London, Nov 2006

I've been going through some old scans. I'm trying to post more art pictures as well as everyday "non-art" stuff. We'll see how it goes.
This image is from Westminster Abbey when I went on a trip with my mom to London. This was taken right before the guy in the funny robe told me I couldn't take pictures. I took some more later...
I like this because it makes me think of all the ghosts this building must hold. It's incredible.

Summer's here

2009-05-25T23:55:00.000-04:00

City adventures, Memorial Day, yard sales, and burgers on the grill. Thought this might be a good one to post in celebration of the start of summer. finally!

Shepard is in Boston. He made a huge splash - what with getting arrested the night of his opening, the cop totally pulling an Ahab/Moby move. (i stole that reference from Erin, btw). Along with his HUGE show at the ICA, he's been doing the street art stuff too, which i am fascinated with. How does he do it without people seeing him and his team of 10? I've been taking some pictures of stuff i find around the city. I love this first one because it has others graffiti on top of the orginal. Talk about your layers of meaning. The part that really blows my mind is how someone has appropriated the style of the iconic Barak poster, which originally was an appropriated image that he's been doing battle over for the past couple of months, turned it into something else, and put it on TOP of the Shepard work. i think my head just exploded.
I've had some conversations about this work with fellow artists lately and I nevre thought about it but Shepard is to the printmaking/design world what Annie Leibowitz is to photography. And artists in those respective fields feel similarly toward them. it's very interesting.

2008-12-29T15:52:00.000-05:00

So I looked over my espresso, and out Mike's kitchen window yesterday, and what do I see?

An eagle. or a hawk. I can't decide. Either way, I saw a large bird of prey that does not usually hang out 20 feet from a city apartment, on a short telephone pole.

Amazing!

Birds are cool.

2008-11-10T13:37:00.000-05:00

I love this video!

2008-10-25T00:22:00.000-04:00

So I thought I would post this one on honor of the changing weather. I found this a few months ago and scanned it. It's Colorado, which is an amazing place for many things, not least of which is the weather. I love this picture because it looks like spring, till you notice the dense snow on the ground.

Found this posting today - why did i never put it up?

For those of you that couldn't decipher my typed humming, this title is the theme song to Jurassic Park. I thought Erin might get it. It goes with this picture:

Giant iguanas have taken over rt. 28 by the science museum! what next? the omni theater? Perhaps a duck boat?

And this was just pretty.

For a few brief seconds I thought i was back in Oaxaca. If you have ever been there, you'll know what i mean. I love this door. Can you believe it is right in Harvard Square and i have never seen it before? Pretty.

I love this song. and I love this band. i didnt take this video. but i feel i need to share it.i saw Ward, the lead singer perform with Session Americana, and he was so good! The band is called Girls, Guns, and Glory. and they are awesome.

Maybe i should re-think my blog. music and pictures? music, pictures, politics?

Is Peruvian a word?

2008-03-06T18:16:00.001-05:00

machu picchu is an amazing place. you should go there sometime. get the avocado salad thing. so good i can't even remember what it's called...

Oh, and this.

Snow day? Never!

2008-01-25T17:23:00.001-05:00

It snowed. A lot. School was canceled. And where was I? Not sledding down some hill in the 'ville with several other of my faculty colleagues. (yes. you read it right.) Not under a blanket on my couch. Nope, I had to go to my other job. The one that doesn't believe in snow days. So I decided to make the best of it and, well, document my journey to the South End of town.

I like how snow sticks to things like skinny branches and power lines.

Oh, and I know they are fuzzy, but those are birds sitting on a power line. In a snowstorm.

I probably shouldn't take pictures while I am driving. oh well.

Hawkeye Caucai

2008-01-17T14:55:00.000-05:00

Did you know that Iowa is the Hawkeye state? I did. But i still don't really know what that is supposed to mean. Anyway, we had a caucus gathering. It was too low key to call it a party. Here are some pictures of us watching Democracy in Action. It's kind of like football. really. Just look at the look on Erin's face!

I really enjoy this sequence. She later threw the stuffed animal at the television. It was intense.

And then there was Mike. He was enthralled.

Rosa too.

In the end it was at least interesting to actually see how the caucus operates. Even if a minister named Huckabee who doesn't believe in evolution won on the republican side.

what is the plural of caucus, anyway?

Lizard Lounge, January 8.
Hey I'm getting pretty good at this blogging thing. Videos and everything.

I love Session Americana. And you should too.

I've been thinking about taking up video. I'd need a better camera though. And it won't shoot squares. Not that I have been posting many square pictures lately...

here are a couple more rectangular ones.

Those are the aforementioned beer glasses upon which i was balancing my camera.

floppy tulips....flopp-eeeee

2008-01-05T11:25:00.001-05:00

The tulip that Henry gave me froze in my car overnight. I thought it was pretty neat. The first is the frozen tulip and the second is the thawed, aforementioned, floppy one. The name is from a Rose Polenzani and Session Americana song.
Oh gosh, i like those link things.

Just a few more from NYC

2007-12-27T11:07:00.001-05:00

These are just some more pictures from NY.

I love the tree stands on sidewalks.

The doves are from the photoshoot. They belong to the magician Henry photographed. They didn't like the strobes, so they flew away.

An that's Kelli with the highfive. Notice the sweet canon digital camera strap. We talked cameras at the sushi shindig. Go see her photos. they are much better than mine.

Wow. I just learned how to make a nifty link. That was cool. I'm a little slow on this blogging thing.

Sushi in Manhattan.

2007-12-21T15:10:00.000-05:00

And now I like sushi.
And mike might keep me around for a while longer because of it.
Thanks Tucker.

ok, so these are totally cheesy, but sometimes i just can't help myself. i'm a sucker for fireworks.

These are from July. Clearly.

I'm trying to catch up.

2007-04-06T16:35:00.000-04:00

oh, man. Oh my gosh, this is the best thing ever. I didn't take this, obviously. But i wish i did.

You know. Sometimes its the wierdest things that make me happy.

These beautiful candles were lit by someone that night. They were there and i missed them.

I love lights that hang over streets in the winter.

I took this in DC. It's part of a monument dedicated to the 50 states. I like how this looks like a passage to heaven in the middle of a political giant of a city.
