A Happy Winter Solstice Everyone! From today on, light is reborn!
Up until yesterday I did not know I was able to purchase photographic prints from the Library of Congress. So when I spied this image by Toni Frissell, I got very excited and bought a 16x20 print for myself. Merry xmas to me, I can't wait until it hangs on my wall!
We are currently being hit with our second snowstorm in 3 days. What better way to spend a Sunday so close to the holidays than tucked nicely inside with a warm wood stove and good movies? A hot beach in Barbados you say? maybe a close second...
Very soon I will find myself house sitting a glorious home in the city which excites me very much. It's an old limestone built in the 1800's that has been lovingly restored to rather indulgent tastes and after having dinner with the owner last night to go over the in's and out's, I'm really looking forward to enjoying the conveniences of city dwelling. Apparently everyone who lives on this street is a doctor, so if I get violently ill, I should be able to count on an old fashioned home visit. ;-)
I was thinking about purchasing this book recently, and as luck would have it the guy who does amazing work printing my images lent it to me. For any interested photo buffs or fans of Leibovitz, it's an easy read and rather enjoyable history of how she came to take camera in hand.

the image is amazing and beautiful and dreamy and all those good things. as for annie, after all the horrible stories I have heard about her, I have trouble with almost all her work and when i listen to people with their fawning interviews of her I get mad. Her PR machine is pretty good.
then again, lots of artists have been complete arseholes, but somehow the current-ness of her arsholishness makes it seem more real and more offensive.
I'm with you on Leibovitz - never been a fan of the stories I've heard about her. When I read she was returning to shooting 35mm reportage recently, I softened just a touch. But for the most part she has always seemed "overblown" in the photography world for me to stay away.
quite the image! And living for a while in Kingston you say? We spent the weekend with our cars snowed in but still playing in the snowy streets of kingston. City living is lovely!!! Stop by sometime for some tea.
