Cheeky Robots

I'm Curt Milton and I'm a photographer, writer, video and podcast producer, blogger. Curious about lots of stuff. Politics to the left. I was voted Most Opinionated in my high school graduating class. Take that as a warning.

I saw this sculpture, “Sleeping Figure,” by Matt Johnson, part of the Desert X show in Palm Springs. Cool!

This cute black-capped chickadee showed up outside my window in Seattle recently. It didn't seem to mind that I was standing on the deck taking its photo.

Beautiful marigolds seen on a walking tour of Old Delhi in 2015. The colors of India are vibrant and beautiful.

Went to @seattleartmuseum today to see two shows that are closing soon and also the second floor galleries that were recently rehung under the title “American Art: The Stories We Carry.” The goal is to bring a more diverse look at art in SAM’s collection. It’s a great show with pieces in dialogue with each other in a way that highlights the various cultures that live in the Northwest and America. I liked this piece in particular, “Blanket Stories: Three Sisters, Four Pelts, Sky Woman, Cousin Rose, and all My Relations,” by Marie Watt. Blankets hold a special place in Native communities. They are given away to honor big life events. This stack of blankets anchors a gallery and tells many stories. The third photo is a return to John Grade’s “Middle Fork” in the SAM lobby. Great art! #seattleartmuseum #samphotoclub #SAM #thestorieswecarry (at Seattle Art Museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnYM16XJ64L/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
