I feel like I’ve seen a number of posts recently about proposed vertical farms and garden space in cities, where structures are superimposed into city skylines like something out of science fiction novels. While I am certainly all for these projects, I tend to have an air of skepticism whenever I see computer generated simulations [...]

Link here Very well written piece on the banned American Apparel ads, how they are visually read as amateurish and in comparison to ‘professional’ ad photography, and the implications of this on the portrayal of women in the media.

What better way to pass the Friday workday than looking at ridiculously imaginative playgrounds and poetically breathtaking installations? Things like this just remind me of looking through books of playground equipment and planning my dream playground, much like lots of girls plan their dream weddings or dream houses… I will have a slide in my [...]

Hello! There are many fun things I want to tell you! Though I think while cleaning my desk last night, I threw away the post-it listing about 20. Guess I’ll need to start writing them somewhere bigger! First–A holdover from Easter. An egg used as a pinhole camera! More can be read about the Pinegg [...]

Finally got some engagement photos of the lovely Jesse and Rachel posted–look for a few more (Logan and Melinda!) in the coming weeks!

This was another case of haunting sound leading me into a room.

I wasn’t really prepared for what I saw when I rounded [...]

Shilpa Gupta’s work I Have Many Dreams was included in an exhibition called Descriptive Acts. Walking into the room, there was a woman typing tucked in a corner, and a projector illuminating the wall to the right. Opposite that wall were large scale prints of young Indian girls posing for the camera on white backdrops, [...]

Another highlight of the SFMOMA was Rineke Dijkstra’s retrospective. Honestly, it was amazing, and completely changed how I viewed her work. I had at been at least somewhat familiar with her work for a while, mostly the forlorn and awkward swimmers, but that was about it. I hadn’t ever given her much thought as forlorn and awkward [...]

While I was in San Francisco for the 49th annual Society for Photographic Education (SPE) conference, I made sure to stop by the lovely San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. In the lobby atrium area there were a bunch of what appeared to be lighted pingpong balls (and we know now much I love those) hanging in [...]

An awesome photo of what appears to be a praying mantis riding a bicycle. That is all.
