I love Rion's eye for these details of urban life. Makes me want to own a wall to paint. Rion and I worked together over a decade ago and through Flickr and here, I keep an "eye" on what she sees. She was one of the first photo bloggers out there whose photos always rise to the top. Her husband is one of my contacts on Flickr too and through his photos, I get to see Rion and their son (Leo's age) over the years. Always interesting and revealing to see someone's life far away. I love the lettering on the no parking sign particularly.
Listening to Charlie Rose and Gina Bianchini, the CEO of Ning, talking about social technologies while I am writing this on my laptop. She's a lovely thing, but does her technology really add to my life? At least it hasn't made a difference yet as I haven't found the need for it. A while ago, maybe 8 years ago, my friend Rosemarie Castoro said to me that she thought it might have been an advantage for her to connect to a women's artistic organization or club as it may have helped her to be successful earlier. She's in her 60's and is a sculptor. I wonder if Ning is a way to do that. I think at this point I spend enough time on the computer, but who knows, an old fashioned club might help. Hmmmm. I always liked the organization, Women Make Movies.
