In the 1950s, National Geographic wanted Kodachrome nature photography that really popped in print. One trick was to put foreground subjects (hikers, etc.) in bright colors; it was called the "red shirt school". Dick Lasher's Pinto makes this the greatest red shirt school photo of all time.

Tomorrow, we will talk about this photo.

A red Ford Pinto hatchback angles across a narrow gravel forest service road, a blue enduro motorcycle on a rear hitch carrier. Tall firs frame the view. Beyond them, a towering ash cloud from a pyroclastic density flow billows skyward. Photo by Richard Kent Lasher, May 18, 1980.

Moisturizing daily with top quality skin lotion, not for me, but for the artisan who’ll one day make me into a table lamp.

Great article on the upcoming Dreamstate Cafe on 26th and Lyndale (the old Common Roots/Hi Flora space).

The article says "they're leasing the back of it to a yet-to-be-announced bookstore"—I'm hearing it will be Boneshaker's new location!

Coming Soon: Dreamstate Cafe in Uptown

Reverie's owners are bringing a new all-day, plant-based café to the former Common Roots and Hi Flora space on Lyndale Avenue.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA
