Banksy Pulls Off His Biggest Exhibit To Date

kimba — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 15:52:03 +0000

Banksy installed his most recent exhibition at the Bristol Museum completely in secret. Only a few top museum people knew about it and the museum told the public the museum was closed for a few days as it was being used for filming a movie. Banksy’s exhibit opened this morning. What fun! Banksy said: “This is [...]

My Idea For A Summer Workshop

kimba — Tue, 19 May 2009 17:23:39 +0000

I’ve been mulling over a travel/photo/journal workshop for quite some time now. Thinking about what I’d like out of a summer workshop is what gave me the idea. I’m wondering if anyone else would or could be seriously into it? When I get to travel, I like to stay in one place for as long as [...]

TEDtalks: Wade Davis On Endangered Cultures

National Geographic explorer Wade Davis discusses the diversity of the world’s indigenous cultures, and their disappearance from the planet. I like what he says about indigenous cultures, that those who create their own realities can teach us about how to live in the world. “Storytelling can change the world.”

I had my favorite simple lunch today. Pasta with EVOO, garlic, fresh basil, and grated parmesan cheese. The most simple version is just pasta with cheese. I happened to have the other things on hand, so I used them. It’s every artist’s standby lunch.

So I was looking around my bookshelves the other day and ran across these magazines: I don’t know much about Ricochet other than that it launched in the fall of 1987 and as far as I know there were only two issues released. It was the only magazine I had bought a subscription for on seeing [...]

Travel Voodoo

I’m beginning to get worried. I’ve been trying to get to Mexico for two years. It looked like it was finally going to happen this winter. Time + Money = Travel. There were some scheduling snafus at first. It was all my fault when the place I wanted to stay over the Christmas/New Year’s holiday [...]

Where Would You Go?

So. Say your birthday is coming up, like soon, and you have a little stash of cash left from a trip this spring that didn’t happen. That destination is topping 100 degrees this week and it’s not looking as inviting as it was in January. You like to celebrate your birthday week - which is [...]

The folks at Intelligent Traveler: National Geographic said they wanted to hear what we love about our cities. So I took a moment out to fill in the blanks, and am posting my responses here. To tell them what you love about your city, get the questionnaire on their website. San Francisco is My City The first [...]
