I don’t do a ton of product photography — unless you count posing Lego baseball men with things from my origami page-a-day calendar as product photography, but it’s really not — but when the LA Shop offered to send me one of their photography toys to try out, I jumped at the chance to play…
goathouse mondays: black & white
Are you a dapper gentleman or lady? These black and white kitties come with their own formalwear!
other people’s projects: project neon
I like to keep track of cool photography projects out there, and it is turning out that a lot of the projects I like best are projects that are, at their centers, cataloging things that the photographers love. (I remain, all these years out of library school, a cataloger at heart.) One of these projects…
goathouse mondays: siamese
Siamese! The top shots are of Chloe, and her two kittens. Bottom is Louise. You can adopt them today!
poem: to lou andreas-salome (rainer maria rilke)
The memory of this poem lodged in my mind this morning at work, and I haven’t been able to shake it off. I found it pasted on the front page of my marble composition notebook journal from the spring I lived in London. I still think it’s magic. To Lou Andreas-Salome (Rainer Maria Rilke) I…
concert: leftover cuties @ local 506
With a name like Leftover Cuties, and a deliciously vampy frontwoman with a ukelele, this Venice Beach quartet could have teetered on that edge where they’re simply going to fall over a line into just too twee, too precious; they’re saved by a helping of rakish, slightly dirty charm, and primarily by the fact that they make very,…
album review: the breedings – fayette
I slid the CD version of the Breedings’ Fayette into my car’s CD player a few weeks ago, and like many records in my car, it stayed in the CD player for weeks and weeks, and I listened to it over and over again. Here is a partial list of artists I considered comparing this…
song share: the head and the heart – shake
After several listens, I think I’m pretty into the new Head and the Heart song. I am definitely into the bass line. But Adam and I are still talking about it, so I will probably have more feelings later. That’s why you should have good friends who are also music nerds: you can talk out…
goathouse mondays: BAT CATS
ie, cats with big ears what look like bats.
baseball: mariners @ orioles
If you watch a lot of college baseball, eventually players you love will make it to the major leagues. This is a familiar view, of Kyle Seager’s bubble butt and lazy slow approach to third base, a view that makes my heart ache a little, a view that still makes me want to yell GODDAMNIT,…
brand new kind of photography
