Farm Family Portraits

“I take the conventions from the fashion world and apply them to the underclass barnyard animal,” Photographer Rob MacInnis told the New York Times.

There are many more photos to see in the NYTimes article. You will definitely want to go the website of photographer Rob Macinnis too. Click on the drawing of the "farm animals" to see more large photos. Then go back and click on the TV screen to watch the fascinating video description of how he worked on this project. It's very long and so interesting...I still haven't finished watching. He said the goats were the easiest subjects and sheep were the hardest. I discovered all of the above via My Modern Met. I'm so glad because I completely missed this writeup back in 2009.

Feeling Crabby?

Have you cracked a crab yet this summer? I love anything served on newspaper, don't you?

Sometimes there is beauty to be seen while walking with your head down. We are supposed to have a stormy week with lots of puddles. Enjoy the week whatever the weather. 

Eventide

Day is done, gone the sun. 
I had a great weekend. Hope you did too.
Wouldn't this be a great place to end the day?

Can You Hear The Ocean?

 

This looks like a really big shell. I can almost hear the ocean just by looking at the photo. Wish I could hold it up to my ear.
