At a friend's for cous-cous last Saturday night. Taking a house tour. Lovely two bedroom up on 190th street. On the desk was a postcard sticking out with a photograph on it. Plucked it up and saw the image above. Really nice. Thought: "I should blog this."
Thomas Wrede had an opening last night at the James Nicholson Gallery (547 West 27th Street - 212.967.5700), and his photos are up until March 25th. Born in Germany in 1963, he lives and works in Germany while photographing "sanctuaries within environments that are increasingly subjugated to man's intrusion upon nature." We like. (Thanks, M&K!)

Container ships! I love container ships! Give me a bunny on a container ship... no, wait, that'd be along these lines...

everytime I see a container ship, all I can think of is that Simpsons episode with all the cargo containers full of hot pants. so I look at that nice picture, and I see is what globalization has brought us: container after container full of hot pants, sailing the seven seas!
Hey, can I have that painting Italy doesn't want? It pays off to explore these links. Thanks wende.
stumbled into Thomas Wrede's opening the other night. It was a good selection, as far as I could see between the people. The catalogue at the desk in the back of the gallery looked good too.
One of the best parts of the opening must have been a kid playing with little construction equipment and a plastic cup on the floor in the midst of it all, on the gallery floor. It felt a bit as if the boy had just come back from a tour of some of the places in the photographs.
Nice, Witold.
At first glance I thought the container ship was made from Legos-- now that would have been nifty :)
