Mama in the woods
My dear old friends Kara and Henry are having a baby in August. I got to spend a little time with them near the Russian River recently. Can't wait to meet the little peanut.

Fortress to Solitude
It's been quite a month. I moved recently to a wonderful new space and now I have internet again! I can get back to my study of cats in boxes, flying lawnmowers and share this exciting bit of news with you: I am a part of the inaugural print offering and show of a new online artists platform, Fortress to Solitude.
"Founded by an active New York-based curator, who is also an artist, Fortress to Solitude is constantly seeking involvement and intellectual contributions from a thriving community of young international art curators. We believe that in building meaningful relationships between curators and artists we can not only offer astounding artworks, but also promote an equitable environment within the art world."

The Bad & The Good
BAD:
- The angry line of women travelers outside the bathroom as it is being cleaned at the airport.
- The ever growing number of steps involved in almost everything. The credit card number itself used to be enough, now there is the additional code and expiration date. The human signature makes no difference.
- The wearing of pajamas in public without shame or fear of stoning.
- The intricacies of street parking in large American cities, with cars dancing like restless hungry squirrels from side to side for a few wasted hours each day, or hopefully, only twice a week.
- The seemingly eternal debate over abortion and a woman's right to choose when to have a baby. At least the right to own property is mine forever.
- Estrogen in the water from millions of women using birth control. It is making all the men write memoirs.
- The ever growing importance of pets.
GOOD:
- The expanding popularity of oysters, especially at happy hour. See also, lobster rolls.
- The inevitable and mercurial rise of the acceptance of same-sex marriage in the United States. I get visions of a world with no orphans.
- The feeling of a hand in yours, walking down a leafy, sleepy street on a spring night.
- The idea that maybe as we drift glumly away from our position as World Leader, maybe we can retire from the post of sherriff.
- The airline stewardess who offers easily to a passenger behind me, "Your eyes light up when you smile."
- The realization that I love my parents more now than I ever did when I really needed them.
- Getting a haircut
- Walking through a graveyard and having no fear of death.
- Dates, wrapped in bacon and stuffed with Manchego cheese

Updated website
I made some photographs in upstate New York and Connecticut recently and realized they are part of the work I started in Connecticut in 2010, continued in Europe last year and now am back in Connecticut. Sometimes it takes a while to see the threads that connect the dots. Today I updated my website to reflect the larger scope of the project.
