My Photography Blog- Update

loupedphotoblogcover01-opt

I’ve received quite a few inquiries about the status of my photography blog. To make a long story short… I’m still working on it. Part of the delay is that I started with one blog design and switched midstream to another one. This made for some layout problems. And now there’s a project I’m pushing to finish before I make the site public.

Vocabulary #60: Mola

mola- art form developed by the Kuna culture (indigenous people of Panama & Colombia) using a reverse applique technique.

Note- This large mola belongs to my parents. They purchased it in Panama (mid 1960′s) and it has been proudly displayed on a wall of their various homes ever since.

Decorating Tips From Albert Hadley

A visitor to designer Albert Hadley‘s old farmhouse in the 1980′s asks what set of rules, if any, did he decorate by? Here was his reply-

“Well…I respect enormously the time and place of any architecture, and how one furnishes it depends on what it says.”

“Also, there’s a continuity to one’s taste. If you really like things they all tend to be of the same spirit and they all work together.”

“If you don’t know right away that something is something you want or can use, you shouldn’t buy it.”
