From My Inbox: João Pina

Once in a while I get a staggering email from a photographer. The latest greeted me when I returned from Paris; ten images in my inbox from Portuguese photographer João Pina, from his new series about the incredible violence that plagues Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Foxes Jumping on Trampolines! And Barry Stone.

These foxes on this trampoline remind me of the dawn of exploration. It is always SO exciting to find out the ground is bouncy.
I needed a photography tie-in to justify these foxes, so I dug up two winners from my buddy Barry Stone.

Dog Show, Yo. Landon Nordeman Illustrates.

I am the kind of person who will spend forty minutes googling “Kromfohrlander”, trying to find an American breeder of the adorable German dog breed. Even though I’m not in the market for a dog. I just want to look at puppy pictures.

Musings on Still Lifes, Food and Legos.

Here we’ve got a little story about food and still lifes and pictures that look like one another. It all started last night when I went home and ate a can of refried beans, a block of cheddar and a fried egg.
