Oooh I just love a good used bookstore. I can spend hours getting lost in one. We found pretty much one of the best ones I have ever been to, in Santa Rosa, California. Treehorn Books had just the right combination of fine literature and many obscure books on wine and other delicious hedonistic California activities.
…and I met this lovely lady
pretty miniature paper dollhouses hung in the windows too

The Model
She’s a model and she’s looking good
I’d like to take her home that’s understood
She plays hard to get, she smiles from time to time
It only takes a camera to change her mind
She’s going out tonight but drinking just champagne
And she has been checking nearly all the men
She’s playing her game and you can hear them say
She is looking good, for beauty we will pay
She’s posing for consumer products now and then
For every camera she gives the best she can
I saw her on the cover of a magazine
Now she’s a big success, I want to meet her again

Artist Kiki Smith and architect Deborah Gans talk about their stained glass window in the Museum at Eldridge Street. Their new design is the culminating piece of the 20-plus-year restoration of this national historic landmark, an 1887 synagogue. Smith and Gans’s design features a celestial motif – illuminated stars in a swirling pattern that evokes the Big Bang.

| Brian Dettmer: Book Autopsies |
| 06.03.09 | No Comments |
Brian Dettmer sifts through stacks of antiquated books, boxes of dusty cassette tapes, and piles of obsolete maps to uncover the perfect source and subject for his conceptual explorations and sculptural dissections. Dettmer alters pre-existing materials by selectively removing and manipulating elements as a way to allow new interpretations and ideas to emerge. With the precision of a surgeon, Dettmer uses scalpels, tweezers, and other medical instruments to carve into the surface of his found objects to reveal hidden meanings.

My dad found an old drink ticket from the 80s NYC club Danceteria and scanned it for me. I always loved their logo and flyer designs.

I had a chance to view Coraline in true 3D at the most lovely movie theater in New York The Ziegfeld. Coraline is far better and darker than most children’s films. The visuals were completely inspiring and I can’t wait to see it again and again.

Coraline and her kitty venture down the rabbit hole.
The mouse circus performance was my favorite part.

I went to Boston for the Brainwaves three day music festival. On Saturday I took a break from the dark theater of warm sounds and went on an excursion to the newly built Institute of Contemporary Art. The ICA is a gorgeous temple of light, a perfect place to look at art. The architecture truly rivals the art. Plus they have the best museum elevator I ever rode on. I was delighted to see that they had a very extensive show of Tara Donovan’s sculptures. Donovan makes beautiful futuristic structures out of very common materials. I was only able to take a few photos in the museum.
Be sure to look at the rest of her work on the Ace Gallery site.

I updated the Graphic Design sections on my site www.sdphotography.net. I got this plastic skeleton from a man selling junk on the beach in Antalya, Turkey. He practically told me his whole life story, and I pretty much bought everything he had to sell because I felt so bad for him. I thought it would be a fun image to use for Halloween, since it is the season of both mortality and fun.
