We Are Grammar

Spring break from teaching at Parsons.

Day 1: Gallery scoping on my

New York stay-cation.

Last stop,

this small text-based exhibit

at Pratt.

Well worth a go see.

Good to know

the young bucks are picking up

where Barbara Kruger and Jenny Holzer leave off.

D.S. & Durga

Check out this new Brooklyn based indie perfume duo, D.S. & Durga.

I won’t give away my signature scent of choice.

You should choose your own.

At Long Last

I’ve made my way back to the piano.

This vintage Anderson arrives Saturday.

A 30th gift from my parents,

Rich & Arlene.

I’m so thankful.

Our new Brooklyn pad

will be noisier than ever.

Chère Brooklyn,

Vous avez été une bonne idée après tout.

Bisous,

A&J

Paul “Jazzy” Jasmine

Who knew photographer Paul Jasmine did the voice of Norman Bates’ mother in Psycho?

I didn’t.

There’s a short interview with Jasmine posted on NOWNESS.

Check it out here.

I decided if I wasn’t inspired by something I’d move on.” ~Paul Jasmine

Hippy Kitchens

I like this blog.

It reminds me of my parents’ old medium format prints

and of dancing to Elvis in my Grandmother’s kitchen upstate.

This shot is inspiration for the gathering of faces I want to welcome to

our new apartment this fall.

Welcome home.

Nan Goldin Shoots A Lookbook

I like this new series that Nan Goldin shot for Scanlan and Theodore.

Somehow this shot feels a bit like Juergen Teller meets William Eggleston.

Nox

Look what my dear friend, Steve, just sent me.

Anne Carson’s “book in a box!”
