women’s basketball: boston college @ duke
women’s basketball: boston college @ duke, originally uploaded by minervacat. Now that we’ve reached bowl season, I’m going to use today to talk about sports photography, okay? Okay.

A couple of months ago, I watched Moulin Rouge for the 57th time, because I stumbled across a discussion somewhere on the internets about the cinematography and art design of the film; it’s a movie I love desperately and have always thought was lovely from…

baltimore: hampden & the avenue, originally uploaded by minervacat. For Lani. I like this picture for the suggested motion in the butterflies, faked into being by the limitations of my point and click camera indoors in poor lighting.

durham be easy: language arts, originally uploaded by minervacat. This is for Martha. Friday night’s Holy Ghost show was the 81st show I’ve seen this year (there are 78 of them here, and three (to date) that I didn’t shoot), and while most of them have been in standard venues — bars with stages, stages…
