I know my good friends Ryan and Maxx will give me grief for posting flowers -- but sorry guys, I just need to freshen the place up a bit. Plus, look how cool these flowers are!

I have more night shots coming up - I'm just more interested in sitting down to peruse my NEW book -- Winogrand - 1964 - it took me forever to find a new copy - but I did - and I'm absolutely thrilled. Here's a little clip about Winogrand's work from the Museum of Contemporary Photography:

Taken together, these images depict the country at a cultural crossroads, a superpower increasingly linked by mass consumerism and television, but still a naive and quirky frontier nation. A year after the assassination of JFK, Winogrand summons the national mood as the Vietnam War begins and the Civil Rights movement inspires both race riots and significant legislation. In the year of Dr. Strangelove and the New York World’s Fair, Winogrand searches for meaning in his work and the world it reflects: “I look at the pictures I have done up to now, ” he wrote in 1963, “and they make me feel that who we are and what we feel and what is to become of us just doesn’t matter… I cannot accept my conclusions, and so I must continue this photographic investigation further and deeper.”
