via Google earth Edit: 2/5 The last image of the airport may be post earthquake. I made these screenshots a day before I saw that Google updated the satellite imagery on Google Earth of Haiti. Maybe at the point I viewed it some of the images were updated and some were not yet. Unsure.

These are my two favorite images by Carl Weese in his series of photographs of drive-in theaters. I was reading a New York Times blurb that went along with a slideshow of his images and a quote by Carl really stood out to me. “I’m not going to get a turned head to think that [...]

Exhibition recap!

It was great to see this after my class on conceptual art as well as my museums class that discussed alternative exhibition techniques. Gillick chose objects from the MCA collection and displayed them in the salon format in mostly alphabetical [...]

Page three and I already want to quote it. “Purity. Serenity. Simplicity. Seclusion. All one’s concentration and flamboyance and originality reserved for the grueling, exalted, transcendent calling. I looked around and I thought, this is how I will live.” (Zuckerman discussing the living conditions of a literary mentor.)
