Alex Prager, Openings, and Red Drinks on Planes.
I like this picture very much. She has Midwestern bone structure. I don't know what that means, but I said it in my head so I'm sharing it.
Today I was sitting around thinking about things and then the thing I thought of was Alex Prager. And how her pictures are like candy and good to look at. So I went to her website and Lo! she is having an opening tomorrow at Yancey, with new work!
Can you believe it? It’s called “Week-end”. I appreciate an unnecessary hyphen, don’t-you?

Here are some sneak peeks.
This is an older picture, but my favorite Prager:
I think because I like the grand tradition of red drinks on planes, a la Eggleston:
Go have some red drinks and openings in the next 48 hours. Here’s where to go in NYC. The rest of you I can’t help today, sorry. (AMF, yoyo)**

** adios mother fuckers, you’re on your own. (said with love, the way my stepdad said it to me when he dropped me off at college., mhmm. he even gave me an LL bean tote a few years ago with “AMF” on it.)

my vote for freshest photo content in blogosphere, good work, good variety, and just enough personal confessional to keep it interesting and OT.

Ha! In regards to the “Midwestern bone structure,” I have to agree with you. I’m from the Midwest and have that same round face shape. Now if only I could get my eyeliner as perfect as hers…

I don’t see Midwestern bone structure – I nee more of an east coast New York or Connecticut. But then again, I see things differently than a lot of people I know so maybe that’s the difference.
