TIME CAPSULE:
I had some films processed that had been being kicked around in the junk drawer for far too long. Wow! One was from a trip to London in 2003 and featured shots of Gogol Bordello in the Tate Modern. What a fun show... Nice trainers...



This next is a tiltshift shot of Tuscon area, AZ in 2005 - looks like a mini diorama...



oh, and check out the new new redesign of www.theskydrops.com featuring our recent photoshoot in Wyeth country.

Thieves Make Off with Precious Art during Carnival Parade

02.27.06 - Using the cover of Carnival crowds to make their escape, armed thieves burst into the Chacara do Ceu museum in Rio de Janeiro and walked off with works by Picasso, Matisse, Monet, and Dali, Agence France-Presse reports. Experts said the pieces were worth at least twenty million dollars and were among the most important in the museum's collection. The artworks were Picasso's The Dance and a book by him titled Toros; Monet's Marine; Matisse's Garden of Luxembourg; and Dali's Two Balconies. The thieves relied on violence and speed and knew exactly what they were taking, said museum director Vera de Alencar. "Dali's picture, for example, is the only one by him in public exhibition in Latin America," she said.

Dear Hummer Owner,
There are not words to express the feeling in my inner being on seeing what was dangling from the back hitch of your vehicle. Isn't having a 325-horsepower engine enough proof of your manhood?
Signed,

Nice article on art and commerce: "Mark Rothko was an unknown abstract expressionist when he won a plum commission - to provide paintings for New York's swankiest restaurant. So why did he pull out and give them to the Tate? Jonathan Jones investigates" - I saw these and they are tear inducing.
