isaiah zagar. an institution in south philly, i spent 5 years surrounded by his work, and a lifetime of tales from my family of his life.

congrats to his son, jeremy, for seeing this through.

from the beginning, my goal with this has generally been to walk the positive side of things — a little honey for your day.

there are many blogs out here that stay hating. focused on the (abundant) wild negative shit that goes on… and while i read and enjoy them, i don’t want to add to that chatter.

the post below was a first. a bit of anger for your day.

but some things get me riled up and i thank ms. sweetpeabanana for being a courageous and active voice in the food justice world. her ability to criticize the bullshit while celebrating the alternates is inspiring.

that being said, check here and here and here and here for a little sweetness.

i just couldn’t resist re-posting this shit from my girl, sweetpeabanana:

This is a bunch of BS. Pictured here, the leaders of the G8 and their spouses toasting the start of the meeting to discuss the FOOD CRISIS and WORLD HUNGER. Click here to view their menu which included caviar, milk fed lamb, and hairy crab. It just ain’t right. These people need to be eating a simple seasonal buffet, move on, and get to talkin about the biggest crisis in our world today. Not eating what was called the “G8 Fantasy Dessert.” Ugh.

it’s just not right. it makes me sort of sick and embarrassed and angry at how much control these people have and how stupid they are — and these are people making big, huge, world-shifting decisions.

photographer Lia Halloran lets her light trail be her self-portrait and record of her evenings spent in Los Angeles skate parks and ditches.

i want to know more.

these, and eight others, can be seen in Dark Skate, her second nyc solo show at DCKT Contemporary (195 Bowery at Spring St, New York, NY).

the show is up through september 13.

As the centerpiece of its Downtown Burj Dubai development, we have this.

The fountains, which has yet to be named, will be capable of shooting water over 450 feet into the air - the height of a 50-story building - and stretch over the length of two football fields.
