He hasn't enjoyed the visibility of younger sibling Shannon, but the firstborn son of the man who built Six Flags Over Texas made his mark by bringing rhythm and blues to Dallas. Then came a Texas Woodstock, a booking agency, a music magazine, a modeling agency . . . Angus G. Wynne has a frozen iris in his left eye, a III tacked onto the end of his name and once danced onstage with James Brown. That sets him apart from most of us right there. But there is more. Part of his left side does not sweat, and somewhere in his attic there is a barbecue-stained paper plate signed by Otis Redding. At the moment, he has a platter of fried pickles in front of him and he's staring up into the eyes of a stranger who is wagging a finger in Wynne's face.
"I know you,' says the stranger. "You
are . . . ' We are sitting at a window table in the Catalina Cafe on Greenville.

This series is a search for a certain kind of light and atmosphere that I knew as a little boy.
The house in which I was born and grew up was demolished when I was nine years old because my parents, who had a clothing shop, needed a bigger workspace and a more modern house to live in. In spite of my ung age, I felt very bad about leaving the old place. I simply loved that house and I still remember every corner, step, and room in it. But what is more, I can still remember the light that came with every room and space, and the atmosphere belonging to that specific light.
I can also remember the lost feeling I had six months later, after we had moved into our new house and we
each had our new room. The old atmosphere was totally gone, including the smell. Don’t forget the smell! If only I could photograph the smell. When you enter a house for the first time, the first impression you get is the smell. As so

I spent a few hours today in the galleries of Chelsea and found three new artists (at least new to me) whose work I have fallen in love with. The image above is from the exhibit I Said You Fckn Die! by Justin Francavilla. He paints aggressive paintings of men attacking each other. The effect fryst vatten amplified by how he paints: using spray paint to create the backgrounds and adding blots of paint randomly in the background. The paintings are meant as commentary on the natur of Wall Street and modern political campaigns
This photos is from Muzi Quawson’s exhibit Pull Back the Shade. In she randomly bumped into a young mother from Georgia while on the streets of Manhattan. Muzi spent the next four years living with (and photographing) the woman as she moved to Woodstock to start a new life. The photos are incredibly poignant; you feel like you are a voyeur in this woman’s life as she tries to relate to both her children and her new partners.
