Coming soon from "start": More geometric, repetitious urbanite photography!

















Just you WAIT.

Christopher Payne's "Asylum"

I really dig this series, particularly the "Wards" section. The way he frames everything the same way is perfect for his subject. Nothing like a melding of content and execution for me. I love photographers who create typologies because they're after content as much as they are art, and usually, the later just emerges from the former.

Plus, I'm just a sucker for soft colors and geometry. And the way that light leaks in! Perfect. Thanks, Google Reader.

This is everything I've ever wanted to photograph and more.

More cat anatomy

Muscles that open/close the mouth:



The Masseter, which closes the jaw, and the salivary gland.



The digastric muscles, which open the jaw when the Masseter is relaxed.

New Job, Meet Old Job


I'm dissecting this cat. We named her "Mabel." Immersed in distinguishing the different muscle groups on the first day, I forgot that she was once, well, a cat. Taking pictures of the different muscles on the second day, without any dissection gloves on, I was sadly reminded of this. Looking up from Mabel to another table, I saw this:

I stood transfixed. Too real. My kitty-loving heart sank.

Amy Stein's "Domesticated"

Just got an email from the ClampArt Gallery in Chelsea about this woman's work. I really like her "Domesticated" series, which is being exhibited there until the end of the month (seems like they sent the email out kinda late). The images have this great tension between planned and unplanned, man and animal. They seem almost staged or controlled somehow, but the viewer has to presume that the images reflect "true" moments because animals are the subjects. Visually stunning and wonderfully narrative stuff (see: "Trasheaters," "Roman Candle" and "Backyard").

Note: The Stein connection is coincidental.
