For the artful Thanksgiving types, here’s a shot of the 48-foot tall Keith Haring balloon at today’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in NYC. Next year, I’d really like to see a floating urinal by Marcel Duchamp. Because who wouldn’t give thanks at the sight of that…especially if you’ve been standing around in the street all day, waiting for a bunch of balloons to roll by. (Thanks to Hol Art Books for the heads up.)
In the meantime, may your potatoes be fluffy and your pumpkin pie, sweet. Happy Thanksgiving.

Thank the web gods, I managed to figure things out. All the old comments are back, as is the ability to post new ones. Phew.
Now back to the turkey…

Hey Folks:
Thanksgiving is upon us, which means I’ll be spending the next four days eatin’ bird. It also means I’ll be taking the rest of the week off. Have a happy holiday!

In the beginning… (Photos by C-M.)
Last Friday was the last, exhausting day of the USC Annenberg Getty Fellowship. Thankfully, the three weeks of Chicken Little driving around L.A. were capped with an absolutely sublime happening: we got to watch the sun set inside a James Turrell sculpture at the home of a pair of prominent L.A. art collectors. The piece is super simple: a giant white cube, where you can sit and gape at the sky through an opening overhead (reminiscent of his piece at P.S. 1 in NYC). The square cut out of the ceiling makes for a nice frame. The lights within the sculpture highlight the intensity of changing blues. Naturally, I snapped the whole process. I’m not quite sure that I was able to fully capture the subtle variations of the sky as the sun set, but I wasn’t gonna leave without giving it a try.

In the last 24 hours, for reasons unbeknownst to me, all comments have disappeared from C-Mon, as well as the ability to post them. This means that I accidentally hit a key I shouldn’t have or Wordpress sucks harder than I thought it did. My guess is that it’s the latter.
Please be patient while I try to figure this one out.
