Dreamer's Path



As if all to often the case, I take a number of photographs at a certain place/event and try to space them out over a period of time. Unfortunately, I sometimes miss the end of an exhibit or deadline. Forgive me for not sharing collage artist Dariana Dervis' magical Dreamer's Path before it closed in the children's area on May 31.  She created a dreamy forest in just a tiny hallway connecting two hands on areas and I enchanted as I'm sure the younger patrons were as well.

Vanguard Views


The Vanguard Views Exhibit at the Birmingham Museum of Art caught my eye recently.  I got so caught up in photographing this vintage motorcycle, I completely forgot to photograph the information about it. Not to worry, I contacted Graham Boettcher, the BMA's curator for American art and he had all the answers.  This exhibit was actually curated by their UAB curatorial intern Bethany McClellan, who Graham credits with the idea and the exhibit itself.

He also provided me with this information about the motorcycle: 

Manufactured by the Société des Moteurs Gnome et Rhône
France (founded 1915)
Collection of the Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum
