Detroit is for Artists

 
Image by Kevin Bauman is available for purchase.

Detroit is ripe for artist takeover. You can buy a house there for almost nothing, you can live there for almost nothing, and everywhere you turn it’s a surreal landscape of inspiration. If you’re an artist in need of a place to create, I humbly suggest Detroit.

Have a look at these 100 Abandoned Houses before you hit the real estate listings.

Congrats, Jaime and Henning! Congrats, Meg and Rahul!

We had a wedding-marathon weekend with two rehearsal dinners on Friday night, and two ceremonies on Saturday. For the morning ceremony, Bryan officiated Bond-style (in German, Mandarin and English — only one of which he speaks), and I made the flowers.

Of course, when we went to pick up the flowers we’d ordered, the florist didn’t have them. Had not ordered them.

So, instead of keening and rending our garments, the bride and I acted calm while we shopped for new-and-improved flowers. Here’s how they turned out:

Bridal bouquet

Bridesmaid bouquet

Boutonnieres
