Landon Nordeman Sleeps at the Museum

I guess Ben Stiller wasn't kidding when he made a movie about kids sleeping at the Museum of Natural History; they really do that! Boy, am I out of it.

I got several emails yesterday pointing me to natural history museum pictures (all excellent), and I also searched PS's archive; I found myself awfully charmed by Landon Nordeman's Sleepover series.

Children = innocence and wonder, etc. Lovely.

Nordeman has tons of great work; check it out.

Here is the most charming email I got regarding the AMNH:

hey there, rachel...

i was inspired to email you because of your taxidermy mention recently. i figured you would know the work Bettina Rheims did back when i was a kid, nineteen eighties, and her series "animals' is pretty amazing stuff. i was familiarized to her work through an inspired style assignment i had last year at school. Colorado Mountain College, i am still in my infancy as a wannabe photographer. polaroid type 55 is cool stuff and i wish i could do more of it. here is my feeble attempt at copy-catting. my teacher didn't like the teeth. he wanted them to be sharp. i think i got a b.

anyways, i thought you might enjoy.
cheers

p.s. flyfishing is all the rage.....check it out.
