"Rise Up Atlanta"

What do the Ponce de Leon Library, Governor Nathan Deal, WonderRoot and the Druid Hills Country Club have in common? They are but four of the one hundred-plus individuals and organizations patronizing an installation by Charlie Brouwer for Flux Projects. Doing so cost them no money. Each lent a ladder to build this "metaphor for the aspirations of the whole community" and expects it to be returned in June (if not donated to the Atlanta Community ToolBank). In the mean time, we have something new to discover along the Path. While visiting our town, Brouwer gets around on his bike. He and Flux Projects intern Corina McCarthy-Fadel will be on-site for this weekend's Inman Park Festival.


While planning the installation, Brouwer found one of Kyle Brooks' Free Art pieces. This ladder resulted from their meeting. Corina dressed for work in the heat, letting shoes and jewelry display her personal style.

Elegant Cycling

"Just girly enough" is how she described these feminine flourishes to her bike's frame and saddle. Simple shoes, generous cuffs plus coordinating blouse and socks produce an original look from a few, well-chosen elements.

The Sartorialist

While Scott Schuman's appearance last September at the Hagedorn Gallery offered fertile style blogging ground, his Savannah College of Art and Design Atlanta lecture tonight proved informative. Now we know that Bruce Webber and Chuck Close inspire him. He rides his bike around Manhattan in search of the stylish. The resulting portraits he sees less as reportage than romantic points of departure that ask, where does this story go from here? While not a studio photographer, he recently put a lighting kit in his New York digs to see what affect learning about it would have on his street photography. In response to my question of how he approaches people, Schuman said that he doesn't mind hearing 'no' and that it sometimes spurs him to try a bit harder. Interesting. Like me, he would enjoy having more women of a certain age appear on his blog. For the complete schedule of SCAD Style 2011, please follow this link.
