Thanks to everyone who came to sold out screening of Somewhere To Disappear in Minneapolis. It was a great night. There is a nice little post on Krista Tippett’s blog about the film here. Be sure to check out the upcoming screenings in Toronto (though I’ve heard it is sold out) and New York.
Want the film to come to your city? Let the producers know on the Somewhere To Disappear Facebook Page.

“I vividly remember as a kid finding a friend’s older brother’s stash of literary erotic men’s magazines and thinking how bizarre the objects and the stories within them were.” An excellent review of Lonely Boy Mag. at PhotoEye by Antone Dolezal.

Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about bunnies. One obvious reason is Easter, the other is the project I’m working on. For these reasons I wanted to share a few bunny photos. The first photo is from my project titled GOMA. This is a photo of GOMA the bunny. The photo was taken in Japan on Chigasaki beach about a year ago.
This next photo is also from Japan. It’s Jacob Aue Sobol’s photo of pouncing bunnies from his book I, Tokyo.
One of my favorite bunny photos ever was taken by Rinko Kawauchi
I showed this photo in my blog post last year about bunny books.
Departing from Japan and traveling to Brighton, England, is The Brighton Bunny Boy Zine. This is a great project by Alec, Carmen, and Gus Soth. Check out a review of the book here.
The last thing I want to share is a great little story written by the author of the Conductors of the Moving World, Brad Zellar. Read the story here.
In order to raise money for the Postcards From America project that I just announced, we are selling a few different items on the project website. After only a few hours, we’ve sold a bunch of the book/postcard sets. This edition is limited to 500 and we’re only selling 250 before the trip (the price will likely be raised afterward). Since some of the readers of this blog are avid book collectors, I suggest buying this one sooner than later. Order yours here.
