untitled images from "Plastic Love-Dream" by Roger Mertin. 

it's so strikingly odd to know that you're partaking in a historical moment. my brain has been swimming with thoughts of last night's news.

I got a few books on sale recently, one of Brandt's work, that have gotten my little head thinking again.

understanding picky

when something is in your face all the time, it becomes difficult to see it. it blends into the background of the familiar and normal. next time i'm home, i need to go back to the American Clock and Watch Museum to experience it as an adult.

TIme to get back on track for the new year. I need to blog more, even if it's just to keep myself educated and on top of things. It's so easy to slip into a routine and give my interests and side work less attention than they deserve. 

Enjoy these photograms of Abelardo Morell. I especially love the last one.

I was so pleased when I found Aquatics, a book of some of Henry Horenstein's black and white photographs of underwater creatures, on sale at a used book store in Providence this weekend. The images are kind of ambiguously ghostly. You can find his work here.
