My many new Terrariums
Matt and I waited a while before giving each other our Christmas/Anniversary gifts. Matt had our friend Catherine Hart make handblown glass bowls which he used to make a bunch of small terrariums. They are really the perfect plant gift because they don't need that much care. I think they are pretty awesome.

Radio Lab and NPR presents WORDS
My boyfriend, Matthew showed me the new Will Hoffman and Daniel Mercadante's video tonight and it's just what a needed. This stunning visual film hits all the right notes. The movie was made to accompanies Radiolab's Words episode. If you like this video than you should check out their other film Moments , which celebrates life, inspired by David Eagleman's book, Sum.

Animal Constellation
I don't know about you, but this summer has been really distracting. While I maybe have been struggling to make regular posts, I have been successful in making other things. I recently took some photos of my friend Jules Buck Jones' work while it was hung for his Everglades show/book release. Not everyone was able to see the full effect of the glow-in-the-dark constellation painting during the show, so here it is now. You can (and should) purchase the book Everglades over at Monofonus.

Smithsonian Folklife Festival, DC
A few weeks ago went to DC to visit my family for my Father's 60th's birthday. While in town I visited my friend Tamara who has been interning at the Smithsonian for their annual Folklife festival. Unfortunately a classic DC summer storm cut my visit short but I was able to take a few photographs. I love this man, just look at his hat and bag. All the bags I saw are hand woven and have such amazing detail and color.

My friend Jules Buck Jones is having a one-night art opening, celebrating his newly published book Everglades at Monofonus Press this Sunday . If you haven't already bought the book you can do so at the show. It's a 98 page multimedia book that's inspired by his summer residency in the Everglades National Park. Not only is this show going to be amazing, I hear there will be live reptiles too!!

Just becuase 10.2 ~ After Icebergs with a Painter by Ben Ruggiero
My friend, Ben Ruggiero has a new solo show opening this weekend at Testsite in Austin, TX. If you're in town you should come. The opening will be Sunday afternoon on June 6th. There will be a performance by Barry Stone and Matthew Kemp. I can hear them practicing in the other room right now.
"After Icebergs with a Painter references the romantic impulse realized by the painter Frederic Edwin Church in his Arctic paintings. Through a series of photographs, artist Ben Ruggiero examines the intentionality and the pursuit of the exotic in Hudson River School paintings and considers how those impulses inform representation and materiality in contemporary photographic practice and aesthetics." ~Testsite

PHILIPPE HALSMAN "Jumpology"
Philippe Halsman's never before seen series Jump is being shown at the Laurence Miller Gallery (NY) through May 28, 2010. In the 1950's Halsman photographed the rich, famous and powerful. After formal photography sessions with these prominent figures he would ask them to jump for a final image. The results are lighthearted and amusing. These men and women, with their shoes and heels off can hardy keep a serious face.
