YOU MUST GO SEE
Massimo Vitali
Book signing Friday 7-8:30 at Chroma Projects
Chroma Projects
418 East Main (on the Mall)
Charlottesville, VA 22902
"In the human communities photographed by Massimo Vitali there are specific kinds of modern (even definably Mediterranean or American) social habits to be observed in some of their characteristic configurations.
Vitali frames his pictures of these reflexes with ironic and in the end anxious questions: is it only in “taking it easy,” “going on vacation,” or “being a tourist” that human beings nowadays peacefully group themselves in the cocoon of their own kind? that they serenely expose themselves to the stroking of nature? that they can or want to do so? that their world contains places for it? that it can really be as safe and healthy as it looks?
Regardless of its acute sociological observation, one of the most striking results of Vitaliʼs photographic zoology is its visual discovery of instinctive conformities of human being regardless of locale or language, at least at the special—even peculiar—sites he has chosen to study.
If this is anthropology, it reveals a human ecology. And if it is social criticism, it is not hostile to society—Vitali seems to have great affection for the communities he portrays—but rather intended to clarify what kind of society we are, or perhaps could be." -Festival of the Photograph website

Les Yeux du Monde
841 Wolftrap Road
Charlottesville, VA 22911
434-973-5566
For every $100 spent in local area stores, $68 goes back into the community. For about every $100 dollars spent in a chain store all but $14 dollars flows out of the state destined for far off corporate headquarters and various suppliers.
I spent the day shopping.....
I think that I had fun although the pressure to find the perfect gift is not so fun
BUT
I hope that my SCOUTing will make your life a bit easier and inspire you to SHOP LOCALLY this season
1st Stop
The Bridge PAI (Local Artisans)
209 Monticello Road in Belmont
Now this was FUN! I bought a few things...and want so many more
The refurbished sweaters are my VERY favorite (major distraction bc I wanted them all for myself)
YOU WILL HAVE FUN at this SHOW/SHOP/LOCAL ARTIST STOP
2nd Stop
C&A Camp
(across from the Gleason)
Carlin spends her time SCOUTing items that cannot be found anywhere else
These are a few of my favorite things
ANTLERS *KNIVES *LINEN *FUR
petrified wood and crystals
The fur below is so super soft and real and amazing...and OH how I want it on my bed.
When you shop local, you invest in your community, in your neighbors, and in yourselves. In this economic climate, the best return on investment is in local business. It is estimated that for every dollar you spend, twice as much will be reinvested in the community by a local store than a national store.
Local business owners invest in community: Local businesses are owned by people who live in this community, are less likely to leave, and are more invested in the community's future.
more tomorrow......
PLEASE STOP by C&A CAMP and The Bridge PAI
(i must say that the people invoved with these 2 LOCAL businesses are HUGE supporters of LOCAL business....please...lets do our part and return the love and support them)
