I’m knee deep in stacks of papers with visions of numbers & colored files dancing in my head today. Ah, tax time…gotta love it. It may be a little quiet in klt:sketchbook land in the next few days. But I will leave you with this really cool video that my friend Daria sent me a link to. She always has a way of knowing what my mood is. This sort of summed it up for me. It’s pretty genius (it’s slow to start so be patient… something more will happen). Thanks D- it’s very cool indeed! {images via here, here, here, & here}

Office supply stores here I come! Maybe by the end of the day I will be able to make some music like that with my calculator, printer, & file cabinet….

{Music Monday} In the dirt…

In My Room: S Carey “In the Dirt” from Yours Truly on Vimeo.

When I read that Sean Carey, the drummer from Bon Iver, had a debut album that was released this summer, I was curious to say the least. Bon Iver is a constant on my studio playlist so I checked out S.Carey’s, All We Grow, right away. I found a live version of “In the Dirt” on S. Carey’s blog that was shot by Yours Truly in San Francisco. I always prefer the energy & heart of a live performance so I thought I would share this one for Music Monday. It really fits my mood on this rainy & mellow day. What do you think? Happy Music Monday! What are you listening to? {image via}

{Everyday Inspiration} Vivian Maier…

Posted by kristinloffertheiss on January 13, 2011 in documentary, Everyday Inspiration, photography, Uncategorized, video, Vivian Maier | No Comments

A few weeks ago a photographer friend of mine, Richard Sayer (Sayer’s namesake), passed on a link to me that made my head spin. It was a blog dedicated to the recently discovered photographer, Vivian Maier. She was a street photographer & nanny that had a prolific collection of photos that were discovered by John Maloof at an auction in Chicago. John had such a strong reaction to her work, that he has been documenting, scanning, & unfolding all the information that he can find about this mysterious lady. The Chicago Tonight show, did a feature on her work that can be seen here.

It was these first two self portraits of Vivian that really sucked me in. I absolutely love them. Since seeing them, there has been a lot more information unleashed- a documentary film is being made, a book, along with a museum show in Chicago. The whole story is really fascinating to me & I knew that I wanted to write a post about it all. I’ve been seeing her photos pop up in the blog world lately, like here & here. But I never can get enough of a good thing. There are tons and tons of photos to choose from and they are all wonderful. What really struck me about a lot of her photos is her ability to capture relationships between pairs. She has a lot of pictures of sweet & vulnerable moments between, friends, couples, strangers, and children. So in the spirit of spreading the word, here is a handful to browse through…

I find both the story of how her work was discovered & her photography itself, inspiring. Looking through the published photos makes me shiver. I’m grateful to my friend for passing on the link to me. It’s pretty exciting to know that this project that John Maloof started is really taking off! Check out this video if you have a few minutes. Enjoy!

{Music Monday} Snowday…

Posted by kristinloffertheiss on January 10, 2011 in music monday, snowday, video | No Comments

This morning, after Sayer’s pre-birthday slumber party with his aunt K & uncle B, we all woke up to a flurry of big, fluffy snowflakes & a beautiful blanket of white outside. Snow days like this aren’t particularly common here in the northwest so it made the weekend even more magical for Sayer.

When I watched the snow fall today, it made me think this holiday Starbuck’s video that used the Matt Pond PA song, Snow Day. I love the concept of this video & it seemed fitting to play it again. Not to mention, it’s always nice to start a Monday morning with some Starbuck’s coffee. Happy Music Monday! (Thanks to our favorite Montreal friends, for the yellow hat!)
