A blast from the past. part of a series from many years ago.

Just chatted with Sole Junkie http://solejunkie.com/ , the Sneaker Pimps show is next weekend. Come out and show some support.

J and I went to see student work coming out of CalArts last night. Megan Cotts had her Master's Thesis show up. An amazing installation. Definitely the strongest of the night.
When she wakes up from what I'm sure will be a nice long good night's sleep, I hope to get her in here to talk about it a bit!

Here are a few pics.

Tatiana and I visited the Studio of David Hume Kennerly this weekend to view an open house of some of his works for sale. He has an impressive collection. Here's a snippet from his Bio "David Hume Kennerly has been photographing history for four decades.
