In Focus | Abelardo Morell
Abelardo Morell’s current show at Bonni Benrubi Gallery transports visitors to a topsy-turvy world where exterior spaces are projected onto interior walls, often upside down. A thicket of trees hangs like clouds in a Manhattan apartment; a view of the Grand Canal cuts a near diagonal swath through a room in [...]

maraid has an incredible collection of scanned and photographed Japanese matchbox labels and other ephemera in her flickr collection. It’s incredible to browse through it and makes me want to get started scanning and photographing my own collection of matchbook covers and ephemera. A great winter project.

Los Angeles, California. It just so happened that I flew to California to visit my 93 year old mother the day before the first Presidential debate, so we got to watch the debate together.

Paul Smith was an artist who had cerebral palsy and used a typewriter to “draw.” Using a machine like a typewriter makes perfect sense when one has spasticity in one’s hands but thinking about how these drawings were made boggles the mind. Yes, typewriters used monofonts (typefaces where each letter was equal in width) so [...]

Jonathan Moreau posted a great image of a Kansas City Library parking garage facade up at flickr. I’m not holding my breath that the Warren Connecticut (pop 1300) Library builds a garage, let alone puts a great book facade on it.

Danbury, Connecticut. I was down at Danbury Airport taking pictures of the initial setup of the biggest fireworks show in Connecticut.
