Check out these photos and video clip of the launch. Beautiful. Reminds me a little of Cai Guo-Qiang. His exhibition at the Guggenheim now is one of the most amazing exhibitions I've ever seen. Be sure to check out his video performances. Very dreamy.

Hope you enjoy this photo taken today in Central Park.
Saw these while I was walking around in Berlin last week. I thought the Nike outdoor ads were great, especially for a counter-culture city known for its graffiti. Axe was seen in East Berlin near all the bars, restaurants and clubs. The Bush was seen in the Berlin airport on the way to Krakow, Poland. Enjoy!
"For about twenty years I lived in an artist's studio in California that had skylights but no windows. And I never thought much about that until we bought a house in the Berkeley Hills, from which you can see the Golden Gate Bridge. I started noticing how the light chnaged every day, every hour, every minute...I was just stunned by the beauty. The change in atmosphere, color and light quality was reminiscent of Monet's wonderful studies. Making these photographs has become an obsession over the last three years."-Richard Misrach.
Apeture just reissued this beautiful photography book about 3 weeks ago. Misrach notes the date and exact time of each photo he took from his front porch. The way the golden gate interacts with the sky is really lovely. There are a few taken in the morning with fog engulfing the bridge that are just amazing. Later in his photos, he starts to combine different photographs from different days together to create some cool combinations. This a great book for those who always find beauty in the skies or a single cloud.
Speaking of the Golden Gate bridge, also check out this new film called, The Bridge.
In this bold and thought-provoking documentary about suicide and its complex aftermath, Eric Steel (the director) spends from dusk until dawn filming the Golden Gate Bridge everyday for a year, capturing nearly two dozen suicides that occurred in 2004. Intercut with these frightening leaps are interviews with the family and friends of the deceased.
Wow, what a premise huh? Here's the trailer. (I don't think it's working, but you can read more from that link and here. )
I wonder if by some chance Misrach had photographed Steel while he was filming.
I'll leave you with some more photos from Richard Misrach. He has a nice series on solitude and the ocean.

Interesting note: One of the three people who started this went to w+k 12.

I believe that a photograph should be like an unfinished sentence. There should be space for questions.
