What: Walls, Windows and Doors, an exhibit by professional photographer Joe KozlowskiYou can find out more about the Amerind Foundation and Museum on-line at Amerind.org.
Where: The Amerind Museum
When: May 1-December 31, 2012
Exhibit description: Professional photographer Joe Kozlowski’s stunning photography examines the Walls, Windows and Doors of the American Southwest’s ancient ruins and historic structures. The photographer captures the artistry of ancient architectural elements, likening them to abstract impressionist paintings. For Kozlowski, the subject matter is a metaphor for human interaction: walls which isolate us, windows that provide us with insights into each other, and doors that help us connect. The changing nature of these structures from ancient Native American towns to recent Spanish Colonial churches poses questions for us. How have the functions of walls, windows and doors changed over time and between the cultures that created them?
About the Photographer: Joe Kozlowski is the son of a portrait/landscape artist and an elementary school teacher. He has been involved with photography as an amateur, semi-professional and professional since he was a child. With a background in cultural anthropology, his photos reveal the artistry in human structures and objects. Kozlowski’s photography is available in book form through Blurb.com. They are also on display on-line at FineArtAmerica.com.
About the attached image: A signature piece of the exhibit, this photograph by Joe Kozlowski shows the doors of Pueblo Bonito, a ruin in New Mexico that was first built over one thousand years ago.

The Old Mission
Daughter visiting so we're spending time as tourists, doing some sight seeing.
Mission St. Xavier del Bac - 1783
The scaffolding is finally gone and the mission looks like the mission again!

4th Avenue Street Fair, Tucson, AZ
Twice a year - in December and in March - the merchant association on 4th Avenue in Tucson holds a street fair. For three days, literally thousands (maybe 10s of thousands) of people descend on 4th Avenue, not far from the University of Arizona campus, to patronize more than a mile of vendors there.
The Fourth Avenue Street Fair - more than a mile of craftsmen.
The Ukulele Player - singer of 1920's rag time tunes.
Pigs Fly
Roof Line with Awnings
My take on the Street Fair? It's more like a Renaissance Fair than any Renaissance Fair I've ever been to ... and far more authentic!

Candy's Latest
Spread out over the living room floor. Sunlight streaming through the glass door to the patio. Still unfinished, but getting there. Borders, binding and quilting still to go.

On the way to Summerhaven, AZ on the Catalina Highway:
Looking out across the Santa Catalina Mountains and the east side of Tucson, AZ in the Sonoran Desert. Sabino Canyon is right, center in the picture.
Looking down on the Catalina Highway from a "pull off" on the Catalina Highway (taken about 30 yards from the previous shot).
Watch out for the first step. It's a long one.

Candy measures the backing for a king size quilt.
I've named it the Orthodox Easter Egg Quilt.

Christmas Day
... after an early (and leisurely) Christmas dinner of lobster and shrimp.
From two exposures, stitched together in the trusty photo editor. Winter storm warnings above 6,000 feet. There'll be snow caps on the mountains in the morning.

Bread crumbs
I woke this morning at three. It's often the case.
Tonight I was thinking of old photographs and how many of them fell along the path of time from my trusty old Pentax Spotmatic - bought with the generosity of Ernie Kent's credit card (repaid over time, I must add).
Like bread crumbs along the path between then and now - did I hope I could follow them and find my way back?
Occasionally one of these bread crumbs surfaces in the seams of my pockets and I'm startled by its clarity of purpose and meaning. I'm a better photographer now but somehow the pictures are not better. They are now more contrived with less emotion and fewer layers of meaning.
A three AM cigarette on the patio, the glow of a full moon shows through the overcast. There are pictures of pictures in my mind, leading silently back along the path of time.

Search millions of historic photos
Search millions of photographs from the LIFE photo archive, stretching from the 1750s to today. Most were never published and are now available for the first time through the joint work of LIFE and Google.
... an unbelievable treasure trove after the click.
My comment: I grew up with LIFE Magazine. My father collected them from 1936 until they stopped publishing as a weekly news magazine in the 1970s. The photographs in LIFE Magazine represent the gold standard in photo journalism. The collection is absolutely amazing. Prepare to be lost in images for hours.
