In the summer of 1912, while vacationing with Picasso in the south of France, Braque saw imitation wood-grain wallpaper in a store window. He waited until Picasso left town before buying the faux bois paper and pasting it into a still-life composition. Braque’s decision to use mechanically printed, illusionistic wallpaper to represent the texture and color of a wooden table marked a turning point in Cubism. Braque later recounted, “After having made the papier collé ["Fruit Dish and Glass"], I felt a great shock, and it was an even greater shock for Picasso when I showed it to him.”

During a float, you step into a quiet, warm, private spa called a float tank and lay back on water in which 1000 lbs of Epsom salts have been dissolved. The water is more dense than the Dead Sea, so you will float right on top—we promise! This means that, after normalizing to the silky water, you will have no tactile input on your skin and no pressure points running along your body. You will be fully supported, and you will expend no physical energy to maintain your position in the water. The water is kept at a constant temperature of around 94.5 degrees, which feels warm at first but soon becomes almost imperceptible. The line between the air and the water becomes blurred. When you choose to turn out the lights, your eyes can rest in a comforting darkness that is the same if you open or close them. External sounds are kept to an absolute minimum through extensive soundproofing throughout The Float Shoppe, earplugs, and the design of the tanks themselves.

"I hated this movie. Hated, hated, hated, hated, hated this movie. Hated it. Hated every simpering stupid vacant audience-insulting moment of it. Hated the sensibility that thought anyone would like it. Hated the implied insult to the audience by its belief that anyone would be entertained by it." — Roger Ebert
My interest in photographing sightseers began back in 1976 when I was invited to teach at the Ansel Adams Workshops in Yosemite National Park.

Working on a braised greens recipie. Inspired by the post-OSU meal, also cribbing a recepie from Emeril's web site (bam).
Tonight's version:
- Kale and brocolli rabe.
- Low sodium store bought organic chicken stock
- onion, shallot, garlic
- cayenne, paprika, pepper, salt
- jerez vinegar (red wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar would do)
- olive oil
- big pot with thick bottom and lid
Prep all the ingredients.
Heat pan, add & heat oil, add sliced yellow onion & brown, add sliced medium shallot & brown, add two garlic cloves (fine dice) & spices & toast a bit
Add some stock, max heat, deglaze bottom
Add more stock (total about 2 cups), add kale (de-stemmed and sliced), stir kale, lower to medium heat, cover.
After a few minutes (four?), add brocolli rabe, stir, cover, cook for minute, stir, cover, cook for minute. Done? Cook more for less al dente.
Remove greens from pot to bowl. Finish with a bit of vinegar and salt.
Serve with a side of seared salmon.
