Last time Electromagnetic Field was on, two years ago, I felt a bit bad that I didn’t go given that I would love there to be more events near here that interest me, and this was fairly close. But I don’t like camping and also don’t like driving far (the site is about an hour away from us), so I didn’t go then and, again, this year I didn’t try to get tickets. But at the beginning of this week I saw a post saying there were some people who couldn’t make it selling spare tickets and, this…
I was so excited to try a new ink from Taccia. I picked up a bottle of the Hokusai Sabimidori (40ml bottle for $32). First, I have always liked the work of Hokusai and this ink collection includes four inks inspired by the Ukiyo-e prints of legendary artist Hokusai. I was able to see an exhibition of Hokusai’s work this year at the Nelson-Atkins Museum. Ukiyo-e is a style of Japanese printing from the Edo-period (17th century) that focuses on everyday life, a trend that continue to inspire…

Visualization: Jon Keegan / Beautiful Public Data. Data: New York City Office of Technology and InnovationI can't believe this is the first time I am writing about an NYC dataset.The scale of New York City can be overwhelming. Over 8.5 million people are estimated to live in the five boroughs of NYC, squished into 300 square miles, making it the most densely populated major city in the US.All of those people live and work in buildings of vastly different sizes and shapes — soaring skyscrapers,…

I’m into deep dives at the moment and I think I’ll make this a regular feature. I first came across Dickey Chapelle by accident. I was reading about war photographers, having arrived on the subject via Lee Miller. Someone mentioned a woman who wore pearl earrings into combat and whose last photo was recovered from her camera after she was killed. I had to find out who she was. Dickey Chapelle The image people usually show is her standing next to some Marines in Vietnam, wearing her signature…

On the edge of Prospect Heights at 736 Bergen Street sits a charming slate blue row house. Just two stories high with a top half-floor (based on some Zillow interior photos), the little Greek Revival-style relic features long slender windows, an ornamental front entrance, and a cornice with decorative moldings. Exactly when 736 Bergen Street was built or who its first occupants were—and if it debuted as a stand-alone dwelling or part of a row—isn’t clear. But based on its architectural details,…
Went to the flower shop today (it is open on Sundays), which happens to be right across from the local airfield. Spotted the airship.

About a week ago, when I read wildfire smoke would soon sweep through Michigan, I went to our basement and brought up a box I hadn’t used in a while. In summer 2023, when wildfire smoke moved through our southeast Michigan area, I built our own air purifier from a box fan, furnace filters, cardboard, and duct tape. Known as a Corsi-Rosenthal box, my do-it-yourself air purifier is something anyone can build for less than $100 (US dollars) in materials. It became popular during the COVID…
Learning to use a camera is only the very first part of this craft. Once you can do that, the rest is learning how photographs work. Last week I began this conversation by showing you one of my photographs, both before and after, and invited you to reverse engineer it. I encouraged you to speculate on the decisions that made the image what it is: what was the focal length? Did the shutter speed or aperture affect the look of the image? What about the position of the camera or the choice of…

The house of Jacques Bogart was established by Jacques Konckier in 1975, many years before its acquisition of Balenciaga in 1986, and Ted Lapidus in 1995. Konckier's stated vision for the brand was, "I create only for men." Bogart's 1975 eponymous debut had been, until recently, their flagship scent; it is apparently discontinued. Jacques Bogart has always been a European concern, with its main
Camera: Fujifilm XT5Location: ///damage.appear.ties I appropriated this window-reflective photo on one of my regular visits to the National Portrait Gallery. Not to see the artworks (tho they are pretty cool) but because the gallery has the best coffee-table bookshop in Canberra. I picked up the newly released Magnum Streetwise, a book that showcases a bunch of famous street photographers with a little blurb on each one and then a spray of their photos. When it comes to this type of book I have…
A couple of months ago I did a post about the Guardian’s list of what it deemed to be the 100 best novels of all time. One book on that list was Pedro Páramo by Juan Rulfo. I’d never heard of it before, and was delighted to receive a gift of it (and relieved that it was an English translation from the original Spanish). I’ve just finished reading it. The story, set in Mexico, begins with a character called Juan Preciado, who promises to his mother on her deathbed that he will travel to a place…
Attended another sketchwalk session on Saturday. This time I was able to recognize the regulars and strike some conversations, reminding me of the benefits of a physical art community. There's nothing like seeing an artwork up close, tracing the lines with your fingers while you ask question to the artist. Having been a self-learner, it's refreshing to see how other people approach their crafts. Even something simple such as the way they setup their supplies, the way they mix their paints, the…

Robert Jon & the Wreck at The Tin Pan I have lived in RVA, and before that Fredericksburg, for over 20 years. I have looked at shows at The Tin Pan on multiple occasions. Every time I passed, because the idea of seeing a loud rock and roll show in a dinner club atmosphere just didn't appeal to me. A couple of months ago, Robert Jon, one of my favorite artists, announced a show at the Tin Pan. He doesn't tour the East Coast that often, so I didn't think twice about buying tickets. In fact, I…

Pamela Isley, otherwise known as Poison Ivy, leaves a courthouse in Gotham City: H. H. Richardson’s Allegheny County Courthouse in Pittsburgh: Photo by Jamie Stillman, via the Society of Architectural Historians “Archipedia.” I didn’t immediately identify the building when I saw the comic, but I immediately identified the architect. Richardson had what most architects want: a style so personal that people could copy it but never quite equal it.

Duncan Rawlinson photographed this stone castle from above in the 1000 Islands region of Ontario, Canada. The structure features red clay tile roofs, multiple turrets, and walls built from locally quarried stone. Mature trees frame the building on three sides, while open lawn and the St. Lawrence River stretch beyond. The elevated perspective reveals the castle’s footprint, its courtyard entry, and the relationship between the historic masonry and the natural shoreline setting. Afternoon light…
