I was in Seattle last weekend visiting my brother. I'm really glad he got us tickets for the Damien Jurado show.

I braved the wind on my bike today to ride over to Art On Armitage, a window gallery at 4125 W. Armitage Ave.

There are a few pieces from Stephanie Dean's "Modern Groceries" series on display.

This series is a modern, photographic take on Dutch still-life painting of the 1600's. She nailed the lighting and painterly feel, and her use of packaged food items is brilliant. It was worth the ride. I look forward to seeing more of it.

Just caught the last day of the Henri Cartier-Bresson show at the Art Institute, and i'm glad I did.







I've always loved some of his signature shots, but didn't know he had such an expansive archive. Amazing stuff.
