RIP: some bird



Today on the 4th floor of a museum in New Haven with my dad, I was looking out the window and noticed the sad evidence of an avian flight path error, which I am sure must have killed him/her. maybe not. the most brutal part of it for me is the clear outline of the beak. birds really love art.

Danny Lyon at the the Whitney

go see Danny Lyon: Montage, Film, and Still Photography at the Whitney in NYC if you have time. I like the collages especially. They make it casual but more important at the same time.

Impressed by Light

I recommend this exhibit currently on at the Metropolitan Museum in NYC: Impressed by Light: British Photographs from Paper Negatives, 1840–1860. It is on view until 12/31/07.


For me one of many highlights is the four volume collection of the catalogue of the "1851 Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations at the Crystal Palace".
