Spotted this intricate wood sculpture of a motorcycle at a restaurant in Indio, CA by sculptor Silvia Davis. The detail is so authentic it looks like it could actually be taken on the road!

Jazz & Photography: Kathy Sloane

Jazz aficionados would appreciate this book by photographer Kathy Sloane about the Keystone Korner, a historic jazz club tucked into a small San Francisco street in the 1970’s that lured jazz greats (such as Charles Mingus, above or Dexter Gordon, below) into this tiny club. Sloane’s book has pics of them all in that wonderful jazz style that melds perfectly with the music. The captures are truly of a bygone era that was at once hypnotic, baffling and magical. I hate to give them all away here, please visit her site at kathysloanephotographer.com to see more.
