hockney-esque

Summer heat has finally begun to settle in, and it's making me want to jump in a pool at all times. Have you seen the David Hockney photo collages of swimming pools? I want to live in one of those. Instead, I have settled for a some Hockney-esque self portraiture. Dina and I spent the last hour of her visit taking rapid-fire Polaroid pictures of each other in sections, as we lay sprawled on my kitchen floor ( the coolest surface in the whole apartment). I would post the results, but instead I think I am going to have a photo show at the end of the summer, in my sister's old car - the space egg. It will be a traveling show, so watch out for more information.
 
It was so nice to see Dina. We went to a bbq/birthday party, looked through old issues of The Believer, went swimming in Lake Superior, checked out the awesome art at the Chisago County Fair, got some brunch at the Triple Rock, played boggle, listened to Dina's band Ramon and Jessica, spent some time at the DAV (where I got a fantastic yellow/red/plaid suit type item - I promise a picture at some point), tried to go to a street festival, started to work on another installment of our comic strip [Retrospectacle], chilled on a patio in St. Paul, got cheese curds at MOA with nick, and took well over a hundred pictures. We also talked about why everyone felt the need to get married right now, and decided that maybe I was leaning towards a Marxist perspective on the institution. More on this later....
 
tomorrow, back to work...
