Abandoned Public School.
For the past few days I’ve been daydreaming about this print of an abandoned public school in Smithville, Texas. In my dream it’s sitting happily upon my mantel in a sturdy walnut frame. I’d like it to be a solid 24×36″, but in reality it’s only 8×10″. What’s a girl to do?

Still Life Polaroids by Andy Warhol.
Senior year in high school English class we had to write a sizable biography about, well anyone really, and I chose Andy Warhol. Not a lot of people outside of Pittsburgh know this, but the Steel City is the quirky Mr. Warhol’s hometown as well as mine. In fact, there’s a huge museum dedicated solely to his work. (If you’re ever in town it’s a must-see in my book.) The point of this tangent is that even with my 12th grade biography under my belt I had no idea Warhol experimented with Polaroids. Sadly, this exhibition of still life photos has been over for months, but I couldn’t resist sharing.

Corey Holms.
See these beautiful, serene photographs by Corey Holms? They’re made out of food dye, vegetable oil and water. All things you can find in your kitchen. I’m tempted to try my hand at something similar, but have a feeling it would only end in tears and a rainbow colored kitchen floor. So for now I’ll content myself with the fact that a few of Corey’s are for sale here.
