Traveled to two tiny towns near the NE-SD border on Tuesday for a story looking at what makes a town — the populations of the towns are 1 and 2 people, respectively. It’ll be airing on Nebraska Public Radio in a few weeks.
Just found out my older sister is getting me one of these for the holidays —> she needed to know which size I wanted.
Seriously geeking out.
What lovely decadence.

Blog update: “In Pictures: Andy and Angie’s anniversary dinner and another HN fundraiser”
Yeah. I’m like 8 months behind. Maybe someday I’ll catch up …
Poor little ginger seal baby …
I’ve been tossing around the idea of doing this very meta, sort of anti-art art project … pictures of people taking pictures of the capital. I feel like you’d get a real sense of the state through the inane, trivial parade of everyday Nebraskans visiting the government’s headquarters. But I can’t decide if it would just be boring.
And on a more practical level, it would mean a LOT of sitting outside the capitol on 90-degree days in summer and being creepy.
about that

I only meant to read under the tree for half an hour. Too many other things that needed to be done.
But without realizing it, I spent a glorious two hours devouring my book in the fading light.
I needed that.

“Man of the House,” Lane Goodman
The series “Man of the House,” presents a subjective look at the continuum of gender within a framework of masculinity. Operating on the assumption that gender is constructed through performance, I conducted a series of portrait sessions that functioned as anthropological surveys. Friends and strangers shared their views on societal definitions of masculinity, and were asked to share their own understandings of gender. The photographs in the series show each individual posed in their own home, using costumes and gestures that to them signify different enactments of masculinity. The home functions as a multi-layered stage for the performance of gender. Domestic spaces allow us to relax into a protected, non-performative sense of self. At the same time, the invasion of the camera into the home demands an over-signified performance that overemphasizes the material and architectural details of familiar surroundings.
This is probably my favorite of these types of videos that I’ve made.
