money bar

Seen while walking down duval st.

I'll have to rotate that when I get home. Turn your head (or computer) to the right. This is an open-air bar on Duval. Every surface is covered in dollar bills. Some have been ripped off.

Image for 3/1/11 - Sarah's Irish Pub...

This is Trish and Frank and they own my favorite Irish Pub in the area, Sarah's Irish Pub. I pop in there on my way home from work sometimes to unwind or wait out the tunnel traffic. They throw spectacular Christmas and St. Patty's Day parties. I took their picture to accompany an article I'm writing on Irish Pubs in Tidewater for VEER Magazine. Sarah's is in Phoebus (Hampton), Virginia on Mellen St. right down from the American Theater. Stop in sometime and have a pint next time you're on the peninsula.

Image for 2/28/11 - Look Down...

Funny the things you might see when you look down. Actually took this shot over the weekend while out on a hike. Some kind of marker on a multi-use path. Abstract art surrounds us all the time, we just need the right eyes to see it.

Image for 2/27/11 - Janet's in the studio and I feel fine...

My lovely wife is back in her studio with a smile on her face, making marks and making art! She's working on a new series of drawings that are over photographs of assembled sculptures that she made. Here's a shot of her working on the latest one. I feel privileged to watch her work progress. I get to see more of her work then anyone else, so envy me. Her work has a depth and power that never fails to open my head up. Her work is that "crack that lets the light in" that Leonard Cohen sang about. Janet has a slightly neglected blog called "Daily Drawings" that's worth a look if you want to explore her stuff. I'm lobbying her to start posting on there again, so leave her an encouraging comment. We want more art!

Image for 2/26/11 - Teresa and David

Tonight Janet and I had dinner (Indian Food!) with our good friends Teresa and David. I will always be grateful to Teresa for introducing me to my wife Janet  some fifteen years ago this May. I was doing a local, outdoor art show back then, called Stockley Gardens, when Teresa brought Janet my way and now here we are a couple of old married couples hanging out breaking the naan (like I said, we were at an Indian restaurant). We always enjoy hanging with them because the conversation is lively, full of art and travel talk. As old Jimbo once said, "I love the friends I've gathered here on this thin raft." Indeed.

OK HW

UPDATE: February 27, 2011

Last night Teresa was telling us about a video she just did for the Virginian Pilot, she's the arts writer there. This is her first video project for the newspaper's web site (Teresa shot it and Brian Clark handled the post-production). I like it so much, I want to share it. Enjoy!
