All Things Art & Photography
Dogs wait for us. That’s just what they do. With cinematic lighting and sometimes borrowing from the great Film Noir lighting directors of old, Martin Usborne works hard getting his images for Dogs in Cars just right. See why an Instagram mentality just can’t get the job done in this wonderful series about the waiting game of lonely canines.

In both his straight prints and groundbreaking composites his design sense and composition are truly impeccable. A true international modern master of light, shadow & line. His last exhibition: RAY K. METZKER Composites 1964-2007 at Laurence Miller Gallery was incredible. You can still find many of his books here.
Labeled as, “America’s finest museum of medical history,” The Mütter Museum rises above all the rest when it comes to the funny and bizarre. Lots of very strange teratological photos, sculptures and things floating dreamlike in large glass jars, which shock and amuse. World famous animators, The Brothers Quay made a documentary about this creepy place. A video of some of the more bizarre things from the collection is here. (The Museum has their own channel on YouTube with over 194 videos!)
Can’t make it to Philly? No problem you can buy the book, photographed by many famous artists, here.
Ruth uses a pin hole camera to make these incredible and surreal images as 4×5″ silver prints. There are few living masters practicing surrealism in photography and she is one of the best. You can still get her book here but its getting very rare.
