…then Samuel Lippke is someone to check out. Originally a local boy to my area, he went on to become one of the most sought after and expensive wedding photographers in L.A. I love his work! Check him out!

These are portraits by the wonderful Frederick W Glasier, in the early 1900s.
There’s nothing quite as deliberately dreamlike as a circus, I think. It’s beautiful and grotesque and poignant and rabidly joyous all at the same time.
(Here’s an article that says almost exactly what I just said except that I found it after the fact. haha) http://lens.blogs.nytimes.com/tag/frederick-w-glasier/
Or so Maki Tamura, the visiting artist from last week, would have us believe.
I’m not so sure.
Tamura is an exceptional artist with an obsessive eye for detail and color. I wish you all could have gone to her visit last Tuesday, but here are some examples of her work with paper and watercolor.
And an installation from last September (the picture should link to the gallery website):
Don’t let the decorative appearance of her work fool you–Tamura has an involved ideology (and profound sense of irony) fundamental to her work. I love the idea of the artist-philosopher; we all should be challenging the notions of art as we progress in ability and creativity.

Your Picture Can Be on the 2012 Washington Weather Calendar!
KCPQ TV and the Student Chapter of the American Meteorological Society are working on a Washington Weather Calendar and they need good weather pictures…maybe yours! Local photographers can submit photos NOW for possible inclusion on this calendar. Go to the Q13 FOX website where you will find the place to submit your photo. It must be of high quality and high resolution, and can be a weather/nature/landscape photo of anywhere in Washington State.
The 2012 Weather Calendar will also contain lots of weather and climate information for Washington State, as well as short weather and climate facts that the students are writing and compiling. The Student Chapter of the AMS will receive proceeds from calendar sales to fund their projects and research and/or a partial scholarship to the U.W. Atmospheric Sciences Department. KCPQ will not get any of the proceeds. The calendar will cost $13.99 and will be available in the fall.
