Aerial vantage points provide the oddest perspectives. Once upon a time — I was standing tiptoes on a chair in the kitchen trying to reach a far-away basket of snacks. Up on the chair, I discovered that the top of the fridge was caked with a fine layer of fudgy kitchen dust. It was the first time I noticed that our old blue and green oriental rug told a story about birds eating berries.
In a roundabout way, we arrive back to tulips in Holland with my favorite duo of design - Charles and Ray Eames' Powers of Ten (1977). This amazing and a legendary little film, which profoundly ponders structure and scale, was based on the essay "Cosmic View" by Dutch scholar Kees Boeke.
hey I found your weekend song: it's Nice, by Kleenex. Nothing like the tuneful, deliberate punk scrapes of these lovely Swiss-German gals to get that eyeliner swiping.
Lovely day for a walk today! The snow was smoking in the sunshine and the high tide foamed up to my muddy boot-tips. I'm lucky to live in such a beautiful place and am especially thankful for my legs, soft gray sweater, and thick wool overcoat.
How bleak and beautiful are these shots from Nicolas Poillot's photo-series Long Term Parking? I really enjoy lonely walks in the urban countryside, especially after the rain.
I love this picture of teenage Lady Diana Spencer on a Swiss ski vacation. I wonder if she drank from that bottle of Johnny Walker? Who is her SKI BOB and what is he reading? This picture was taken about a year before she met Prince Charles.
Two days after their engagement, the Daily Mirror purchased this photo from a scandal-monger. The editor decided to nix it from publication and I like to imagine that their grease-pen veto came straight from the teenage Diana herself. Puhhh-leeeeasuh. Really? Put this one in the archives, geezer.
