I managed to flip through this recently released book of Louise Bourgeois's fiber work a few weeks ago at Powell's. It looks diviine!:

Leave it to Louise—the first time I've seen baby blue and pink and didn't find myself repulsed.

Dog Show

UPDATE. Here's one photo I scanned off of my role. Some of the images definitely have potential. There's lots of nice compositions, colors, and shapes. Though I think it'll take a lot of dog show attendances before any true, content-driven portfolio begins to develop.

1/31/11: Today I'm picking up my negatives from the dog show extravaganza that was last week. The Rose City Classic.

A couple friends and I hopped back and forth between events for a few hours at the Expo Center, snapping shots of the devastation of fur in the grooming area, the pride on the platforms, and the wonderful apparel. There were snoozies, sweaters, dachsund tapestries...anything the eye can image, plus more which you probably couldn't image.

It's Friday. Friday.

I've been doing some blogging for the Mercury. Here's the skivy on First Friday!

Jake Stangel does some really excellent work, and tirelessly (to the left is one of his images). Am excited to have discovered his online photo co-op as well, Too Much Chocolate, and hoping we can sneak in an interview in the next couple weeks for a feature.
