Moon landings
July 21, 2009
It seems impossible to me that men walked on the moon, and yet I believe it to be true. What an odd time in our history, the cold war, the space race. There are so many moons to be walked on, not all of them are in space. That expression “If they can put a man on the moon, why can’t they . . .” seems to make sense. Buzz Aldrin says there was less bureaucracy back then, space plans were often just two pages long — here’s what we can do and how we can do it, and they did it. We could use some of that common sense around today, uncomplicate ourselves, throw off our yokes, bury our stuff.

Thank you to Mr. Belic for showing me places I’ll unlikely go.
The Office
July 8, 2009
Lee Friedlander immortalized cubicles in his series entitled At Work. The lack of emotion on the faces of the employees match their drab surroundings.

Take a look at these offices from well-known companies. Shouldn’t they all be as creative as these?

Wild life
July 2, 2009
Think all wildlife photography looks the same? Take a look at Nick Brandt’s work. Original, up close and personal portraits of lions, zebras, giraffes, elephants, and more. His new book due out in September is bound to be a top seller.
