Bought these two beautiful paintings from Molly Rausch.
Richard Renaldi
I bought three prints from one of my favorite photographers, Richard Renaldi, and I'm so excited! Can't wait to get the prints! The prints are of Blue Night 2009, Christine 2003, and Thor 2008.I really love his work, and his book Figure and Ground is one of my favorite photo books.

Few More Photo Blog Links
Some I've been looking at lately, We Can't Paint, and uncommons, and the always fascinating portfolios at Tiny Vices. Here's the website for Adam Broomberg and Oliver Chanarin. Their books "Ghetto", "Chicago" and the recently released "Fig" are amazing.

The Assassination of Jesse James
Saw this movie today on dvd, and I'm upset that I didn't get to see it on the big screen. It was truly fascinating, and moviemaking at it's best. This line from the review at filmfreakcentral sums it up nicely: "Jesse James is close to three hours of slow, trancelike contemplation of details of place, character, time"
Iceland by Caroline de Vries
I keep going back to look at these seven photos. I think they are exquisite. Beautiful statement as well. Link
