Frances Benjamin Johnston, American photojournalist, took this self portrait with a bicycle. Johnston wrote What A Woman Can Do with a Camera for the Ladies Home Journal in 1897, a year after Bicyling For Ladies was published. Notice the painted on moustache.

"Anaglyph images are used to provide a stereoscopic 3D effect, when viewed with glasses where the two lenses are different (usually chromatically opposite) colors, such as red and cyan. Images are made up of two color layers, superimposed, but offset with respect to each other to produce a depth effect. Usually the main subject is in the center, while the foreground and background are shifted laterally in opposite directions. The picture contains two differently filtered colored images, one for each eye. When viewed through the 'color coded' 'anaglyph glasses', they reveal an integrated stereoscopic image. The visual cortex of the brain fuses this into perception of a three dimensional scene or composition."

'Do what you love' by Andy J. Miller. What better way to kick off the new year than with words of wisdom from those who have threaded before us? That’s precisely the premise of advice to sink in slowly, a wonderful project enlisting design graduates in passing on advice and inspiration to first-year students through an ongoing series of posters — part Live Now, part Everything Is Going To Be OK, part Wisdom, part something completely refreshing, based on the idea that we all have subjective wisdom we wish we’d known earlier, but often don’t get a chance to pass it on to those who can benefit from it in a way that makes them pay heed.

There's a Carl Sagan quote: 'to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe'. And I LOVE that quote because it speaks to me it's about setting the foundations, feeling out the landscape. You can't make something until you have the energy of it around you, you need to create the world in order for the creature to live there. So all that time spent thinkin' and dreamin' and shuffling beads and string around the desk is all crucial to the process.

Matilde Montanari. Her WEBSITE I love Matilde’s photographs which, like all good fashion photography, straddle the boundary between fine art and commerce. I had hoped we could do a show at Pine Street Art Works but I closed the gallery before she was finished with a big project…in other words, bad timing.

“The great mime Baptiste Deburau acted at the Théâtre des Funambules in Paris and, after his death in 1846, his son Charles, who looked just like him, continued the tradition. The Deburaus transformed the commedia dell’arte character Pierrot, a base and thieving knave, into a modern free agent whose clever, quicksilver maneuvering appealed not only to the lower classes but also to the literati. Gautier, Champfleury, Baudelaire, and George Sand saw Pierrot as a metaphor for the creative artist—autonomous, ironic, and endlessly imaginative. Also among the theater audience was a journalist, caricaturist, and photographer with the pseudonym Nadar. In the fall of 1854, he asked Charles Deburau to pose for a series of photographs to publicize the new studio he had established with his brother, but shortly after the brilliant session, the brothers acrimoniously split up. The Deburau series was an immediate hit and won a gold medal at the Universal Exposition of 1855; ironically, it was awarded not to Nadar but to his brother Adrien, who was just the sort of slippery rogue Pierrot represented. Here Pierrot, having eaten his fill or perhaps stolen a kiss, is feeling devilishly good and savors his fortune with Parisian waggishness.” Source:Nadar (Gaspard-Félix Tournachon) and Adrien Tournachon: Pierrot Laughing (1998.57) | Heilbrunn Timeline of Art History | The Metropolitan Museum of Art I think its time to watch Les Enfants Du Paradis again.

William H. Johnson Children Playing London Bridge “With the threat of war looming over Europe in the late 1930s, black American expatriate William H. Johnson, a prolific artist whose style had been greatly influenced by European Expressionism, returned to the United States. Upon his return to America in 1938, Johnson entered into a new stylistic phase typified by bright colors and simplified, heavily outlined forms, an approach that would be the hallmark of his work until he stopped painting in 1946. In addition to stylistic developments, Johnson’s focus shifted to characterizations of black life, both rural and urban, and to the depiction of religious themes using black figures. Johnson’s self-ascribed “primitivism” was explored through his depictions of African American everyday life and rooted in his childhood memories of South Carolina. Children Playing London Bridge is a cartoon-like depiction of children at imaginative play. It is a heavy composition of thin, blocky figures playing amongst each other through the rhythmic interweaving of each figure’s arms.” Kim Kindlelsperger
