spring + early summer at k's house
home
my brother's pretty house in new jersey shows that the state is more than kooky housewives, gangsters and toxic waste. it's a nice place to live and visit on holiday weekends ;). his lovely wildflower garden is so photogenic.
art
richard avedon at the icp with a husband who doesn't mind looking at fashion photos. hey, they are pretty girls after all. he liked sunny harnett and i liked suzy parker. we both liked anything that was shot outside the studio, preferably between 1947-1957. so glamorous.
movies
we're late to the party on twilight, but were ambivalent expecting teenagers hooking up and lots of vampire blood. wrong! it is a wonderful movie with excellent messages (restraint, loyalty, love) for teens and the rest of us. scott keeps talking about it. the soundtrack seems really good, too. love the song full moon by the black ghosts.
tunes
iron & wine is a new band to us from a new friend. thank you!
pics
two rolls of film from the new york botanical garden edible garden are at the drugstore. oh, the anticipation. hope they come out ok. the first roll i had developed was blank - eek!
hope you had a nice weekend! xo, cindy
gorgeous shots! iron & wine is a goody! glad you like.

It's very cool;he always posts background info and Youtube videos so you can hear their sounds. I think it may be right up your alley!
Great photos and a beautiful home your brother has. You gave me a chuckle. I'm sure there is a lot of beauty in NJ. I like the last photo with the rock, fern and shadow. Very nice. Enjoy my friend! xoxo
ReplyDeleteI still haven't seen Twilight! Talk about being late to the party. I will definitely check out the soundtrack. Hope you are well Cindy! Sounds like you are enjoying the summer:)
ReplyDeleteThis is your best series of photos yet. Seriously. You are really great, lady:) And I love how you stacked them so that the perspectives are constantly changing. Well done.
ReplyDeleteI am adding the Avedon show to my summer NYC to-do list!
Gorgeous pictures as usual! Love the wildflowers! I am also a fan of the Twilight movie and the soundtrack is a guilty pleasure! Full moon is a great song:) Glad you had a lovely time in Jersey!

ReplyDeleteHi Cindy! Here I am, catching up again! Loved this post and your wonderful pics, as usual! I always look forward to seeing things through your eyes :)
ReplyDeleteFunny what you said about New Jersey - being a Californian, I've always gone w/ the stereotypical version of NJ! So it's nice to know there is a plethora of normalcy there as well - LOL!
Looks like I have some new music to check out too!
Meg :)
