Art, Life, TV, Etc.: The proper photographer
http://cherylbernstein.blogspot.com/2012/09/the-proper-photographer.html
Art, Life, TV, Etc. The low-brow and the high-minded. Monday, September 17, 2012. A photographer asked to take our picture yesterday. "I'm a proper photographer," he said. "Works in the public art gallery collection.". He was taking photos of Christchurch people in the ruined city. Have you lived here forever? He asked, looking down through the view finder. No," we said. Just one more, he said. I'll shift my camera and one more. Closer together. Last one coming. Done. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Art, Life, TV, Etc.: Blocked
http://cherylbernstein.blogspot.com/2012/07/blocked.html
Art, Life, TV, Etc. The low-brow and the high-minded. Thursday, July 5, 2012. Last night I watched TV3's premiere of The Block NZ. It's a DIY home renovation reality show based on an Australian model in which four couples compete to do up dilapidated houses (or as TV3's website had it, " depilated homes. Which makes it sound more like The GC. The first episode appeared to consist of a half-hour commercial for Bunnings. Disappointingly, I see they've now fixed the typo.

Art, Life, TV, Etc. The low-brow and the high-minded. Wednesday, February 22, 2012. All over the city today, to commemorate the anniversary of the Christchurch earthquake, people have been placing flowers in the tens of thousands of road cones which cordon off broken areas of the footpath or which mark particularly bad potholes in the road. It's a form of spontaneous public art. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The single most popular thing I have ever written: One Dog Goes One Way. Art and My Life.

To celebrate Easter this year we made bunnies out of plastic milk bottles.

The big guy screwed the rabbits on to some short lengths of wood. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Art and My Life.
