my love for you is a stampede of horses.

Ulrika Kestere's The Girl with the 7 Horses.

Reader, Ulrika Kestere sent me her photographic essay The Girl with the 7 Horses. I love it! The images, the idea and fairytale story behind it:

Once upon a time there was a girl who had 7 invisible horses. People thought she was crazy and that she in fact had 7 imaginative horses, but this was not the case. When autumn came the girl spent a whole day washing all her clothes. She hung them on a string in her garden to let the gentle autumn sun dry them. Out of nowhere, a terrible storm came and its fiercefull winds grabbed a hold of all her clothes and all seven horses (authors note: since they are invisible they obviously didn't weigh much). The girl was devistated and spent all autumn looking for each horse spread around the country, wrapped in her clothes.

Be sure to stop by Ulrika's blog to see the other 3 horses.

Francesca Woodman.

This weekend I'm heading to the SFMOMA to see the Francesca Woodman photography exhibit. I have admired her work for years and I'm really looking forward to seeing it in person. It's the first retrospective of her work in 20 years so it's pretty exciting to be able to be around it, physically.

Sadly, Woodman committed suicide at the age of 22 after dealing with on and off bouts of depression. Although she was young when she died, she left an impressive amount of work. Her photography is haunting, beautiful and still relevant 30 years after her death. I'm hoping to be able to take some pics while I'm there. I'll keep you posted.

I stumbled on Leslie Williamson's photography site and was introduced to her beautiful photographs, but also had the pleasure of learning about fiber artist, Kay Sekimachi. Williamson took photographs of Sekimachi and her work for American Craft magazine.

I recently moved into my own apartment here in SF (it's actually my old apartment I lived in 4 yrs ago. Yes, same unit. Weird, I know.). Looking at Sekimachi's home and sculptures sure are inspiring for decorating ideas...not to mention her necklaces just to wear. Gorgeous.

Photographer Boogie sent over a ton of images of the many pictures he takes in passing while living in NYC. 

Take Picture, Don't Steal.

Take Picture Don't Steal is a public art project started by a guy named Matt. He started leaving disposable cameras around Toronto, Canada with a simple sign saying: Take a picture, don't steal. Now he's looking to conquer the world. So far along with Toronto they've made it to NYC, Madrid, London, Manchester, Barcelona. Help him out!
