I am the father of a beautiful little girl. She is two years old. She drives me crazy sometimes, but then she smiles and says, “I love you!” and it’s impossible for your heart not to melt. Little children are precious, wonderful things, and so it is confounding when nearly every day the news brings a story of a child abused or abandoned or killed. It is terrible and it is horrifying and it is easy to lose hope in such an apparently cruel world.
Artist Spotlight: Sarah Lyon (The photographer exposes herself) [Visual Art]
Sarah Lyon makes large format photographs of people and places that are common in our surroundings and yet they reveal a stark beauty that we have failed to recognize. And for that we should be thanking her. In a time when American citizens are feeling the financial pinch of still being such a relatively young country, Sarah’s work proves that the landscape in which we live still counts for something.
Spoon and the Moon: A Naughty Fairy Tale takes Louisville art into the new age of digital literature [Books]

Spoon and the Moon is the latest endeavor by Wickedly Sisters creative team, and it has Louisville all over it. It’s a tale set in Louisvillle, featuring Louisville artists and musicians, displayed as an E-book in app form. It’s also full of fun facts and history tidbits about the Derby city.
A day on the set of 'The Gift' [Movies]
Patrons of certain local businesses last weekend may have witnessed something unusual: several bright lights covered by umbrellas, an imposing video camera on an industrial tripod, a man holding a microphone on a pole, and several people seemingly milling around before all turning to watch two men walk around and converse with each other.

Ben Pine: The hardest working broadcaster in Louisville [Local profiles]
Ben Pine, WHAS-11 meteorologist, just may be the hardest working broadcaster in the Louisville market. And this is by his own admission.
“I work a 10-hour day, which includes the web, phone, radio, Twitter, Facebook, special events or school talks that I do,” Pine said. “And that is on a ‘good’ weather day. I sometimes think the public thinks we have it easy, but we don’t.”
Pine’s day starts early – real early.
