I was asked to contribute posts to www.lostateminor.com, an online publication of inspiring art, design and pop culture. My posts are up so check them out. They focus on artists in the Sacramento area, a place where so much great artwork is being created that I wanted to share it with a broader audience. Each artist below is linked to their independent posts.

Lisa Fernald Barker

Gale Hart

Nathan Cordero

Trent Liddicoat

Jason Malmberg

Rogelio Manzo

Amy Green

Several of the artists have been deservedly ”starred” to show that their work is a LostAtEMinor favorite. I love seeing people tweeting and faccebook “liking” these artists!

balloon fiesta

the balloon fiesta in albuquerque, new mexico was more stunning in person than i expected. freezing in the morning but worth it for the sunrise. the "glowdeo" at night was tons of fun.

forgotten mosaic

this mosaic was found in an overgrown parking lot where the billboard had no ad. impressive work.

camouflage in red

maple leaves hid my foot while i was shooting. it was a delightfully unexpected camo pattern.

autumnal oasis

noreply@blogger.com (kate farrall) — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 19:43:00 +0000

a strip of suburban fall color created an autumnal oasis. bounded by california's dry grass/golden hills, it stands out. the developer-inspired nature-scape in the midst of a more genuine landscape interests me.

refinery emerges, oddly, from its sylvan setting. there is an apocalyptic feel here.

same sun

Sofia Lacin and Hennessy Christophel just completed the transformation of a huge water tank into Same Sun, a super-smart, site-specific artwork that compliments the Davis landscape. I love that they took the leap to make this work abstract and the incorporation of shadow casting sculptures on top is a great idea (you can just see it casting the letter "N" here). The shadows interact with the painted letters and move across the tank each day to complete the Latin phrase, "The Sun Shines Upon Us All".

i love the pink shadows these chairs cast just over the line. i'd love to capture that as a photogram.

this was the last big haul of tomatoes and they were GOOD. the yellow ones are actually over ripe "green" tomatoes which were tasty and a good producer. i managed to slow roast and freeze a few batches to enjoy on a nice winter day when we need to remember what summer is all about.

when i first moved to california i saw trucks hauling two long, connected loads of tomatoes through the central valley. the visual struck me as art and it is still an amazing sight to see. -it would be great on travel bingo cards.

furry and deceased but amazing to investigate.

mossy mill

noreply@blogger.com (kate farrall) — Mon, 21 Mar 2011 00:24:00 +0000

furry branch with little periscopes every so often

how many are there? 4, 5?

at the historic bale grist mill there was so much to see but some of the most amazing things were the moss and lichen covered trees. on each, there are several kinds and they are all beautiful. the lower one reminds me of an underwater/tidepool landscape.

it was like spring break for adults in tomales bay. the sun was out (rare in these parts, known for being socked-in by fog), radios were blaring and raw oysters were on the menu. ...a renewed faith in eating the little buggers was gained.

these oil making cities are visually amazing while simultaneously repulsive.
