Hearth is where the heath is at...

The color of this fireplace goes into the long mental laundry list of things that WILL be implemented in my future home. Mark my words...unless something better comes along of course.

had this in my mind the past day or two...

Word of the day....

Precipice

Loy Krathong...

It could be the current all-encompassing dour mood that makes the small efforts of happiness or joy that much greater. To me, it is things like the Loy Krathong (Thai Festival of Lights), where people are coming together to create something beautiful, that is overwhelmingly powerful. I am glad it is this way right now. That it is the unique happy things and not the tragic that set themselves apart. They remind us that no matter what shiteous events or moments might be thwarting are lives, there is something happening that is greater. Everything will be okay...

Photographer of the hour....

...because i might be a roll soon and post some more.

Andrea Galvani has some amazing photographs

Baller.

Bad Old Driveways...

I think Corbusier might have gotten it wrong (maybe not at the time, but now that we are able to look back and critique it) by accentuating the driveway - e.g. Villa Stein.


In his defense, the car was more prominent and rare then vs it now being something we would all love to discard. Really this is all just my opinion, i think i would just rather be on foot to work, but san francisco is a bit too expensive at the moment.

KwkPromes has a solution to what some might see as an eyesore, in order to create a 360 degree asphalt-free view from the house (which ain't so bad itself.).....

It was a jellyfish kind of day...

Ol' pal of mine, Rob, emailed me his wedding toast / speech, which was about jellyfish. Maybe he will share it with the world on his blog someday. The point here is that I loved the toast, the metaphor of two people getting married like two jellyfish bobbing along the currents of the ocean aimlessly and happily. Well, that wasn't the POINT, the real point is that I never heard him say the toast. It IS possible that the ONE time i went to the restroom throughout the entire wedding reception he might have quickly slipped it past me and blurted it out...when i got back to the party he was mid-sentence in what seemed like a different toast all together...which in that case, i think he needs to communicate this toast to his new bride at some point - maybe that was my point? Still i don't think i have reached a point... okay, now i have it - today feels like a jellyfish.

Message of the day...

Remnants like a trail of bread crumbs...

This was a great NYTimes article that reminded me of something else (the scene in "Ransom" where Gary Sinise describes the movie "The Time Machine")... if you don't feel like reading the article though, which i completely understand (you DO need to wait in a long line to vote today) here is my summary:

These photos were taken of the underground railroad that ran below the World Trade Center that demo crews finally had to take apart in order to continue the newly planned work (that will never end) at the site. It is hard for me to believe that the NY Historic Commission had nothing to say about this - rather sad, how we destroy the fabric of our history so quickly. What could they build that could be more fascinating than this?

Where is the Atlanta Biennial?

These photos are from the Liverpool Biennial ... it is hard for me to not feel left behind.

What i listened to this morning...

My Best Friends...

Ashley and Scarlett got married this weekend. They looked fabulous all weekend long, these were just my favorite outfits ;)

OMFG...

That white material looks like they threw a baby panther in the air and it landed in embroidered cashmere!
