Put These on Your Rolodex or Palm Pilot
My friends do the most amazing things. I love their diversity of expression. I love their energy and passion. I love promoting what they do. How else do we know about “Best of _______” if we don’t tell each other. Share yours with me. I’ll support ‘em.
Here are some people and institutions whose work I love:
RALPH PHOTO — Ralph Alswang is an amazing photographer, and you need to know about him. Documentary, portrait, weddings, whatever you need. Check him out at http://www.ralphphoto.com/. Bill Clinton loved his work; you will too.
MARS HILL GRADUATE SCHOOL — I love their conferences. Really powerful. Go out to Seattle or look for one in your area. I also am so excited about the way they are doing seminary education as well as training therapists. Good people, culturally relevant, Biblically sound, artistically brilliant and super-creative. http://www.mhgs.edu
IPOH — Great sushi restaurant in DC. Also Malaysian and other Asian cuisines. Woodley Park. Go now. www.ipohusa.com/
GREGOR TURK — Artist based in Atlanta who specializes in mapping imagery. http://www.gregorturk.com/
AMERICAN VISIONARY ART MUSEUM – http://www.avam.org/ Current exhibit at this Baltimore gem is “The Marriage of Art, Science and Philosophy.” I never miss a show.
HOTEL GIRAFFE — Three zillion trips to Manhattan and I finally found “my” hotel. Corner of Park and 26th. Piano player in the lobby during the wine reception. Good, healthy breakfast included. Calm but happening. http://www.hotelgiraffe.com/
AEGEAN CENTER for FINE ARTS — Paros, Greece, a gem of a place for adults and young adults alike. Amazing vision. Soul-enhancing, first-rate education in the arts. Fall semester begins in Tuscany. http://www.aegeancenter.org/
MICHELE WOODWARD – Great life coach. Job transitions, decisions, hand-holding, whatever you need. Results. http://www.lifeframeworks.com/
Cupcakes in Paris… at CUP AND CAKE. Cardamom rose is my favorite. http://cupandcake.fr/
NO BOX THINKING has a great selection of photo-laden greeting cards so you can avoid the usual sap and crap at the drugstore. Check them out: http://www.noboxthinking.com/
