Updates need to be more regular.
I’ve been keeping myself pretty busy and far away from the internet (okay, so maybe not that far).
Amos Paul Kennedy Jr. and Alexander Campos organized a show at the Center for Book Arts called Racism: An American Family Value. The show was amazing, and I’ll be posting some pictures soon. If you are living or visiting in NYC, you should be sure to go check out the exhibit before it closes.
For opening night, Amos printed some amazing postcards.
The Jen Bekman Gallery has a new show up that I checked out on its opening night. Summer Reading has work from some of my current favorite artists & photographers such as Kate Bingaman-Burt, Kelly Shimoda, and Alec Soth.
I have to admit I really enjoyed Kelly’s I guess you don’t want to talk to me anymore series:
Since I moved back to New York, I’ve also been going to see a good bit of music.
Last night I saw a band called Buke and Gass. It was one of the best sounding live shows I’ve been to this year, and I can’t wait to see them again soon. They’ve got some pretty interesting instrumentation (I think). If you’re in New York on August 29th, you should come with me to see them.

Today some of my favorite people (Christopher Doyle & John Banister) are in performing Rhys Chatham’s “A Crimson Grail” along with 198 other guitarists and 16 bassists at Lincoln Center’s Damrosch Park Bandshell. The New York Times has a nice write up about the event.
I’m also in the process of uploading some vernacular type images from my Mississippi to Colorado trip. Check some of them out!
whew.
