A picture I took from Pasadena Hilton hotel.  I love the architecture of this building.

This is so neat, love it.

“Alan Belcher has produced new work for this exhibition, a ceramic multiple edition. Known for his pioneering of the “photo-object_ genre (artworks which fused the disciplines of photography and sculpture); he has furthered that exploration with a multiple series of what can be seen as perhaps the ultimate “photo-object”. Belcher has taken the ephemeral nature of the universal jpeg, and solidified its default icon into a standard image surrogate. The edition entitled “______.jpg” was fabricated in China, is a series of 125 pieces each signed and dated.” 25 Years of Talent at Marianne Boesky Gallery, curated by Michelle Grabner May 2 - Jun 16, 2012.

EDIT: Here’s Alan Belcher’s profile at Saatchi Online.

I kinda want one of these. And I never would have been curious about this question until now, but: who took this photo originally, and who now owns the rights to it? (I assume Apple) But until it was made into an object like this, I never even thought twice about the image itself.

I just love this image, I love books :)

“Books” Contest: Runner-up #3

By Gurbuz Dogan

Gurbuz has done some stunning published New Yorker covers that many of you may remember. This wonderful image uses a physical, tangible relationship between the objects to talk about digital v. printed books. For publication, I probably would have asked him to crop this closer on just the first few books so that it would be a faster, cleaner read.

God never promised us a perfect life.  Once I accepted Christ over 22 years ago, I thought my life would be easier.  However, I have found that it is actually a bit harder.  Why you may ask? Because I expect as much if not more of myself than Christ does.  I am also less forgiving of myself than Christ is.  Christ forgives us for all that we do.  I constantly remind myself of what wrongs I have done, even though I live a good life, I am very hard on myself.  And I must say that I am pretty hard on my spouse and I want perfection.  Christ has to remind me that it is not about us being “perfect”, it is about us being perfect in his eyes :) It is about us living a life that is pleasing to him, not perfect, pleasing and loving.
