my love for you is a stampede of horses.

Erika Diehl's studio.

Carlie Armstrong is a photographer who recently started her project, Work.Place where she documents the work spaces of artists and craftspeople in the Pacific Northwest, specifically Portland, Oregon. Armstrong's photographs, (and they are in fact photographs -- all captured on Twin Lens Reflex camera) have a private and personal vibe to them, giving us a priviledged look into a space we might never get to see. I've chosen a few of my favorite images from her visits. Please visit her site to get the full experience, it's charming, warm and very special. And if you need a double push, Armstrong captures a lot of furry friends beautifully.

Did I ever tell you I love pigeons? It's true. Check out more of Adam Batchelor's work.

Jenny Morgan.

Previously in the year, Like the Spice Gallery contacted me about an upcoming show, One and the Many new work by artist Jenny Morgan. I had just started a new job and blog posts were slipping through my fingers and I was unable to keep up with all my emails and posts. Ehh, luxury problems for sure! So although it's late -- I really want to post about Morgan's work. It's stunning, moving and although the show has been done for months her work still deserves continued attention.
