PHOTOGRAPHER: Julie Blackmon Documents Her Kids

  • Posted on: Friday August 27, 2010 at 8:00 AM

We've rarely do a post about children. However, for those of you who grew up with a motley crew of siblings, remember the unpredictable and spontanious moments of chaos on any given day? Your brother pushed you in the pool...or your sister stole your favorite toy and pulled your hair? You get the picture.

Well, American photographer Julie Blackmon has chosen to focus on this dichotomy (she is the oldest of nine children and mother of three) - the love and tug of childhood sibling connectedness....and rivarly. In her quirky + surreal series titled "Domestic Vacations", she organizes what would normally be a cluttered family household into impeccably designed photographs. We like how stylized they are.....stopping time in the midst of kid chaos. What do you think?

The Dangers of Soccer

  • Posted on: Wednesday August 25, 2010 at 2:00 PM

American football is an inherently violent and dangerous game. Soccer is more fluid, and skill-oriented -- though there is occasional contact. Unless it's not fluid or skill-oriented... Then, children get kicked in the face and pretty German sportscasters are put in harms way.

"I get to play soccer with the Mayor!!!" *Slide whistle*

"I get to talk about soccer on television!" *Bouncing spring noise*
