Ok, last night’s episode of Dollhouse was AMAZING! Surely Fox can’t cancel it now?!? (Dear Fox: DO NOT CANCEL DOLLHOUSE.)

This morning I’m off to my very exciting workshop with Donald Weber. Not only am I looking forward to hear about his ways of working and what advice he can offer us, but he has an exhibition up at the studio where he’s teaching, all as part of the Contact Festival.

And finally, there is a stunning slideshow up at burn magazine by Lori Vrba. I find it spellbinding. So I went to her website and looked through all her work. I love it. It’s magical without being sentimental. If she lived nearby, I would gladly hire her to photograph my family – which is not something I’ve ever thought of any other photographer since I photograph him so much myself. She shoots film exclusively, and processes and prints it all herself. She tones the prints with tea and selenium, and I love the warmth of that effect. I also see she’s created a short film, which I really like, but I was frustrated by the lack of streaming – it seems to take a long time to download and it kept stopping. I expect it wasn’t really optimized for the web, but it’s worth being patient to watch it.
