That’s A Little Different…
Photography by Leah.
a few thursdays ago i went down to the pearl district for my first ‘first thursday’ experience. the streets were crowded with people, some for the art galleries and some for cinco de mayo. galleries were lit up and all in clusters and it was exciting and wonderful.
anyways, i found myself in a gallery of an awesome artsy t-shirt shop and as soon as i walk in i say “wait a minute… i’ve seen these photos. i follow this girl on tumblr!” and it was absolutely lovely to see megan mcisaac’s photos in person, large and vivid. i really, really love her photos, this is photography from the soul and with an intense but gentle depiction of beauty. her portraits (especially of her friend above) and self-portraits are my favorites. that night i stared at the ones hanging for a very long time, and could have gazed for longer. they are beautiful and fill me up with passion for life.
you should definitely follow her on tumblr if you haven’t already.
thank you, it means so much more than you would think.

Rikki Reich’s Series of 9/11 Photographs Are Presented Publicly for the First Time - NYTimes.com
Osama bin Laden’s killing has brought with it a sense — however illusory or brief — that an end has come to an epic narrative that began Sept. 11, 2001.
Across the Hudson River that day, in Jersey City, the photographer Rikki Reich, who was then 37, discerned an epic narrative within the event itself.
