On an autumn run

Seen this week: New York Reflections by Saul Leiter

Saw Saul Leiter's retrospective yesterday in the Jewish Historical Museum. Impressive and inspiring to me for many reasons: individuals going through life in a big city, gorgeous compositions, resulting in  melancholic - and sometimes alienating- photos. Right up my alley.
Below some of my favorites.

O and I love what Saul says here:  'I have nothing against a view of life that thinks it's worthwhile to pursue beauty. No need to apologize for that.'

Ink crush

I have one of these as my wallpaper for ages and still I find them mesmerizing. Made by Alberto Sevesto by taking high speed photographs of ink mixing with water. Download the wallpapers here!

What do our homes say about us?

That's what the participants from 'Other peoples houses' ask themselves. Interesting question.
I think our houses say a lot about us.

Interview Miranda July on Learning To Love You More

Watch it here!

I love what she says here: ' My favorite thing in the world is when I look at a piece of art, read a story, see a movie, where I walk away feeling: O my god, I have to do something, I have to make something, talk to someone. Things are not the same anymore. So I try to make work where you come away with that feeling. You're thinking about what you just saw, but even more. You feel able.'

Bye summer, see you soon!
