These are all photos of food I’ve eaten over the last few months, some I cooked myself, some I didn’t. Funny to see the progression of pork chops and mac n chz to tofu and arugula.
We are exceeded by our pride and excitement. Cali Dewitt, whose blog teenage teardrops has been an inspiring implementation of a world that is possible and better than the one we think we live in, is now doing a weekly photo collection on the huffington post here. Go Bros!
I’m a little too excited for this. I really wasn’t interested in Earth, but I’m more than ready to geek out on my love for sea-life on this one. It’s time for another movie like this, not sure if I could take another pre-apocalyptic, apocalyptic, post-apocalyptic movie.
During a meeting of the United Nations this past September in New York, staff photographer for the New Yorker, Platon had set up a make shift studio adjacent to the floor in the General Assembly and lured nearly 50 of the world’s leaders to sit for him. In an interactive portfolio of these photographs on the New Yorker’s website, Platon recalls candid memories of the five day stakeout, and provides his commentary on shooting each subject.
Capturing images of leaders such as Muammar Qaddafi, Barack Obama and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Platon’s descriptions of the varied reactions to each shoot offers a glimpse into the personalities of each individual and the cultural differences amongst them.

If you read my post about this past week being free at MOCA and The Geffen then you know how excited I was to see Chris Burden’s, The Big Wheel. Well the God’s were on my side when I notice a crowd around this woman struggling to start an old blue Triumph that powers….THE BIG WHEEL. It is a display of power and fluidity that most be felt in person. You become the moth to the flame forgetting all about the power it wields. Until the security guard reminds you that it’s a bad idea to be two feet from a 3 tons of kinetic energy.
I was told that twice a day someone starts the motorcycle up, I was around 3:30, F.Y.I.
I was actually considering seeing the movie before I saw the trailer. By far the most schizophrenic cast I’ve ever seen. It would only be worth seeing it for Marion Cotillard and Penélope Cruz. What a shock that it was made by the same people who made Chicago. I think I take more offense to this movie than the people that take out their pitchforks for the Twilight movies.
Full cast: Daniel Day-Lewis, Marion Cotillard, Nicole Kidman, Penélope Cruz, Judi Dench, Sophia Loren, Stacy Ferguson (Fergie), Kate Hudson
Found this photo set online of pictures of S.T.R.E.E.T.S. (an acronym spelled out in the title of this post). The now defunct vancouver shredders made a lasting impression on us a few years back by skating over the top of Steve’s rental car, and dropping in off of the back. You should find their music, it sounds how it looks. Below is a link to pictures of some of the best dudes ever, with the best band name ever, enjoying what looks like the best summer ever.

“…Straightforward portraits shot with the Big Shot camera — gives the tiny images a purity and sincerity that belies the radiance and aura of greatness coming from the sitters”. -NY Times
This small collection commissioned by a collector in the late 70s and 80s will be showing at Danziger Projects.
