I Know Where the Summer Goes

When I was in new york I went to the latest Ryan McGinley show , I Know Where the Summer Goes, at TEAM gallery. The show featured photographs from his last annual roadtrip, where he shot 4,000 roles or something? That’s over 100,000 photographs. Out of those he meticulously narrowed them down to fifty, which were at TEAM from April 3rd to May 3rd. I’m obviously running a little behind, ha!

The photographs are very beautiful. The thing I love about Ryan’s work is that although the majority of it is staged; the photos look incredibly candid. They are always exciting and draw you in.

There were three portraits in the lower level of the gallery which really showcased some of the amazing things Ryan can do with light and color. He really is turning out to be one of the greatest photographers of our generation.

AND MY FAVORITE:

kids and their bikes, what could be more beautiful?

It was one of the highlights of my last trip. I can’t describe how thrilling it was to see his images right in front of me.

Hey, look. There’s the pants.

 Things are wierd. I had a really ghost worldy moment on Friday with my friend. We were in Johnny Rocket’s (“authentic” 50’s diner a la wowsville), and they played “Night Fever”  three times. TOTALLY 50’s!

I’m seeing Rilo Kiley wednesday. I know, I know, but Jenny Lewis is one of the cutest red-heads I’ve ever seen. Thursday Vandaveer is playing a show at Urban Outfitters of all places??? Then Friday is Animal Collective which I’m super excited about. I finally got my Anrew Kuo googly-eyed Morrissey tee shirt. I plan on living in it forever.
