Gurung Honey Hunters

Andrew Newey Photographer
High in the Himalayan foothills of central Nepal Gurung honey hunters gather twice a year, risking their lives to harvest the honey from the world’s largest honeybee. For hundreds of years, the skills required to practise this ancient and sacred tradition have been passed down through the generations, but now both the number of bees and traditional honey hunters are in rapid decline as a result of increased commercial interests and climate change.

Marvelously Haunted by Tibi's Fall 2013 Collection

Tibi's Fall 2013 Collection captures a wonderful fusion of craft and form. The show reminded me of a Zingaro performance I saw in 1994. Every now and then, the world brings us a moment that transports us from the noise and celebrates something as truly special. That was this event.

The light of Fall

Though it seems so obvious, each year I am reminded of the spectacular by the simple marvel of natural light.

Leah Giberson - sublime ordinary

I stumbled upon Leah's site and Etsy shop while looking for images of the Red Hook pool. Dakota goes there every week and I've never been. He loves it soo much, I had to have a peek. Amazed to see how Leah sees it. Her eye and hand make extraordinary from the ordinary.
