Expanding Horizons: Painting and Photography of American and Canadian Landscape 1860-1918
A note to my friends in Montreal: if you haven’t already, be sure to see Expanding Horizons before it closes on September 27. It looks like an outstanding survey of turn-of-the-century Canadian and American landscape art, and I really wish I could see it in person.

I didn’t hear about this show until yesterday, and then completely by chance. I came across the exhibition catalog in a used bookstore. It was calling out my name from across the room—it’s absolutely gorgeous. I wondered why I had never seen it before and so I looked up the exhibition when I got home; it turns out the book won’t be released for another month. How it ended up in a thrift store in SoHo I’ll never know, but it’s mine now.
Unfortunately I am leaving for a big trip tomorrow and won’t have time to really go through it in depth, but I will report back in September.
Great moments in Google Street View photography
Thoughtful essay and wonderful pictures on Art Fag City.

It’s amazing what can slip by you when you’re editing. This image sat in the “maybe” pile for a good three months while I was working on the Sicily series, and then somehow didn’t make the final cut. Looking at it now, I absolutely love it. It’s one of my favorites. It’s funny how that happens, isn’t it? Time to update the gallery.
