I went to the Rubin Museum of Art with a friend ye I went to the Rubin Museum of Art with a friend yesterday—the museum of Himalayan art will be closing its gallery doors on October 7 and turning into what it calls a global museum model, showing exhibits in other venues. So if you want to go, you’ve got a few days only. It really is a remarkable museum, with a gallery on how the metal figures are cast, how the paintings are made, and of course a lot of interpretation of the art and its iconography. These images were taken in the immersive Mandala Lab. It’s worth a visit just for that, and great for kids.⁠⁠@rubinmuseum #tibetan #tibetanbuddhism #mandala #himalayan #bhutanese #nepalese #blackandwhitephotography #monochrome #monochromephotography #blackandwhite #museum #art Paintings by Yusuke Okada, ironic takes on Instagr Paintings by Yusuke Okada, ironic takes on Instagram posts, in the Eleventh Hour Gallery at the Affordable Art Fair at the Metropolitan Pavilion which closes today, September 29.

The abbey was founded in 806 by Guillaume, Count of Toulouse and Duke of Aquitaine. (Guilhem is the Languedoc version of Guillaume.) Guillaume was sainted in 1066, and the abbey was renamed St.-Guilhem. The town, on the Chemin de St-Jacques, the pigrimage route to Santiago de Compostella, retains its medieval character, and if you’re in the neighborhood of Montpellier it’s well worth a detour. You may even see this woman passing the abbey on her way to the market. ⁠⁠Prints are available—click the Prints link in my bio and go to the France gallery.⁠⁠#blackandwhitephotography #monochrome #monochromephotography #blackandwhite #bnwdark #france #travel #filmphotography #leica #leicaphotography #analogphotography #documentaryphotography #herault #abbey @metcloisters #travelphotography A farmer gives me a wary look on a farm near les V A farmer gives me a wary look on a farm near les Vignolles, in the Cévennes, in the Gard department in the south of France. My wife and I were staying with friends, and some of their friends, in the Cévennes, six adults and 2 boys of about 10. The friends and their son were heading back home the next day, so we all went out to dinner. But because there was no market that day, the only way the travelers could stock up on pélardon, the local goat cheese, would be to stop off at the cheese-maker’s farm, which was sort of on the way to the restaurant. So we piled into a van and went, over two-lane winding mountain roads, to a one-lane dirt road, through two switchbacks, through someone’s farm, and finally to the cheese-maker’s farm. We shopped, and I spent some time chatting up and photographing the family, including the cheese-maker’s husband. (I have another photo of him looking not at all wary.) Then back through the switchbacks to the 2-lane road and on to dinner. The diversion took over an hour. And no one, not even the boys, thought there was anything unusual about it.⁠⁠The photo of the cheesemaker’s husband. Click on the Fine Art Prints link in my bio and go to the France gallery.

Aimé and Lucette Volpelière lived in a small stone house with a barn in a village near the town of St-Jean-du-Gard, stored rain water in a cistern, had a horse. Retired, they worked a little, and Aimé shot the occasional sanglier (wild boar). We were sitting around their kitchen table, and asked Lucette how she cooked the boar. “Des cêpes, des oignons, et du bon vin,” she said, offering the slimmest outline of a recipe, maybe not much to go on for most people, but enough for someone who’s spent as much time cooking as I have to figure out. ⁠⁠The photo of Aimé in his barn door is available as a print.
