bonus

I chanced upon a photo display in one of the galleries in MICA where a friend was having an exhibit.

As I was thinking that I liked the photo and how good prints had become the past years, a woman dressed in an outfit complimenting the photo nicely (think: wheel reflectors) walked by.I would have opted for her to be on the other side--walking towards rather than away from the photo on display, but I'm not complaining.

Getting this photo was the day's bonus.

Gerlie's Holland Album

Someone asked me for a link to Gerlie's photos. It is unfortunate that most of her stuff are just in her hard drive. Her recent Holland album is in Facebook, however it is only accessible to her contacts. Here is a thumbnail view of the album. Click on the image to enlarge.

Happy day! Gerlie sent me a photo she took in Holland, where she now lives. The email bore the word, emote. Hahahaha.

Robert Adams

I was babbling about this photo over the weekend. Today seemed like the perfect time to post it. This is NOT his blog and he has NO INVOLVEMENT WITH teaching self inquiry. You can check out Artnet to see more photos.

diane arbus

I'm not sure if I wrote about seeing the movie FUR a while back but anyway, it is a tribute to the photographer Diane Arbus (March 14, 1923 – July 26, 1971). It featured a whimsical love story driven by passion iced with unconventional beauty. It is a fantasy portrayal of her life, what could have transpired that made her the artist that she was. As expected, there are a lot of hate--and love for the film. Nicole Kidman played the photographer opposite Robert Downey Jr.

I wasn't familiar with her work until I looked up her photos post-movie. I was inspired to post some photos for as I reread a poem written by an unpublished gifted individual, I felt a strong nagging to revisit her art.
