...production. “I wanted to stop making as many photographs and kind of cycle back to the boxes, the ones I’ve already made, and bring those out again,” Davey says. “As an artist, you always have that drive to make things, but there’s something scary I find about constantly producing, producing, producing.”When not producing new photographs, Davey reads and writes voraciously, and these passions are also evident in her artwork. “For a lot of the pictures, I was interested...
...ideal place. Director Laura Dunn does a great job capturing the unique texture of Austin with its various subcultures, but she can’t resist playing favorites, privileging ranchers over suburbanites and environmentalists over developers.

"You'll see [many] declarations like these coming out before the Olympics...
...Many attribute the OAS's newfound effectiveness to its current Secretary General, former Chilean Foreign Minister Jose Miguel Insulza - a moderate socialist and veteran political operative nicknamed El Panzer for his tank-like drive. His 2005 election to a five-year term as OAS chief gained him Latin street cred, because he was the first candidate in the history of the organization elected without U.S. backing. (The U.S. eventually accepted him as Secretary General after dropping its bid to seat a more conservative Mexican nominee.) Insulza gained further credibility as an impartial broker last year when Chavez, widely regarded...
