Crave…

Found this photo series by JeongMee Yoon incredibly disturbing. It makes me wonder — if I had children how much I would invest in their frivolousness. It also makes me chillingly aware of the insane amount of products I must have owned as a child. I’m sure it would have nearly matched these photos. What an insane culture we live in.

Was browsing through my archives since the website update and ended up on a random tumblr. Something about seeing a picture of a picnic in Delores Park (San Francisco) at the bottom of a tumblog really just smacks of home to me.

Finally made it to the Cherry Blossom Festival at the Brooklyn Botanical Garden. It was like a festival as to be expected, food, music, tents but I was sort of surprised at how wondrous it felt. I floated from area to area running into kimono-clad Brooklynites and Japanophiles. Everyone was taking photos much to my bemusement as I had come for the purpose of photography. Everything was fair game.

The grass was lush and wet and the cherry blossoms hung right in our faces so that it felt like we were in the clouds. The air was dewey and overcast but it never rained. On the Cherry walk, a canopied walkway dripping with blossoms inches above our heads kids ran around and jumped up into the tree branches. When they dropped it was graceful like a dangling leaf that at long last unshackled itself in the fall’s breeze. Spring has not come soon enough. photos

“Any photographer with a website should also have a blog. If you don’t, it’s like playing the PGA Tour without a putter - no serious competitor would ever do so.” [link]

I quite enjoy this analogy. I’m no (professional) photographer But I agree with the sentiment. In fact I would stretch this to include every creative professional or really just everybody should have a blog.
