Local photographer’s first exhibit exceeds CAC’s sales average
The curator used just one word to describe the mood. Shocked, said Marilyn Ritchie, CAC curator and visual arts director. People were shocked. Nobody expected his work to be so beautiful. Six of Brandons photos were sold. Its not usual for people to buy that many photos at an exhibit, Ms. Ritchie said. Two or three, maybe, but not five and six. Thats a lot. People dont buy photographs as frequently as they purchase paintings and sculptures, the longtime curator said. For some reason, people dont see photographs as art, but (Brandons) photos - you look at them, and you know theyre art, Ms. Ritchie said. Ive never seen a photo exhibit be received so well. Catchlight Borrowing a term from photography, the exhibit was called Catchlight.
Amy Winehouse in clear...
The 24-year-old Back To Black singer seemed in hot water herself after being dramatically arrested last month and having her DNA and fingerprints taken. She was quizzed over a suspected plot to bribe barman James King, allegedly beaten up by Fielder-Civil in an east London pub in June 2006. Cops held Amy on suspicion of offering 200,000 to King to drop his statement against Blake, 25, who has been charged with conspiracy to pervert the course of justice. But DNA tests have FAILED to provide any conclusive evidence to link her to the plot. Cops have probed computer software in Amy's flat to see if she was involved in trying to set up a place in Spain for King to lie low until the case collapsed. They have looked closely at where money allegedly offered to King came from but even if they source it back to Amy's bank account it is believed this will not be enough to charge her.

Tech meets tough in LR3
When you take delivery of a new car, the salesperson normally sits in the passenger seat, spends a few minutes making sure you're familiar with all the controls, and then bids you good luck. If you happen to be buying today's test car - a 2008 Land Rover LR3 - an hour's worth of classroom instruction would only be enough to touch on the vehicle's multiple systems and controls. That's certainly one reason the company includes a lengthy DVD tutorial along with the thick owner's manual. The DVD is must viewing for any new Rover owner - it has an amazing amount of technology incorporated into its innate toughness. Last spring, I was able to drive several Land Rovers on an off-road course the company's marketers set up on the 25-acre grounds of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Endi cott House in Dedham.
