Ken Rosenthal's November 17th entry that was just titled 'Home Is ...
I love this photo of miniatures!
Marigny Street, NO - hands down
Of course, my first impulse is to ID the house -- it's a Marx t-shaped rancher from the 1950s.

The furniture is Triang, though.
I just love this! And thanks, wende, for the link -- I've been having a wonderful time!
I am in love with this photograph. Osborn's whole series is amazing because they retell the tin dollhouse narrative in a complex 21st century way, and because are excellent images in themselves. Also because the houses and accessories are so lucious and evocotive. I've seen this done ad nauseum with Barbies, but this is the first I've seen done with the Marx/tin houses. Does anybody know of any others? Or more about Cathy Osborn?
I have four Marx/tin houses in my art gallery, and although they are not for sale, or maybe because they are not for sale, they evoke endless comments and memories from visitors.
Not sure if Barnacles gets my vote for best, but I will take a closer look and let you know for sure. It is definately way up there.
Ok. My winners. Third: Ken Rosenthal, Untitled 2001.
Second: Kathy Osborn, Barnacles. First:Ion Zupcu, August 16th.
It was a wonderful series. I hope you continue it in some form.
Home Is......"Moving"
that's the one that has stuck in my mind all this time more than the rest of them. Although, I'd have to say that this one here is my second favorite.
Just Loomis, "Jeniffer, Route 28, Phoenicia, 1999"

retitled:
'no wombs home'
While they are all good, to me, these stood out: Robert Polidari's Marigny Street tells such stories, I could read it for hours. Eric Slayton slyly draws me in to Cape May 2000 with softness and contrast; I'm dying to follow that path. Canada 1998 is just plain compelling and artistic and... squidgy (sorry, Pedro Isztin, wrong words, can't think!). And Ion Zopku's Untitled is the ultimate home.
Yea, those are on my favorites list.
