moreKisses of a Kind
There are kisses and there are kisses. That photographs can be kisses is not an obvious idea, but you could imagine a list of ways that could get long before it came to the type of kiss embodied in the life and work of Emmet Gowin, who is retiring from Princeton University after 36 years of teaching photography and is the subject of a retrospective show at the Princeton University Art Museum through February 21.

The Strange Sports Scene
Despite the Rutgers bowl victory last night and the reigning-Super Bowl-champion Giants' spot at the top of the NFC East, New Jersey still isn't quite recognized as a sports powerhouse. Princeton, even less so. (No offense, eggheads.)
moreHere We Come A Caroling
I don't know what it is about the holidays that makes you want to watch shows, movies, and performances you've already seen a bunch of times. A combination of nostalgia and tradition, I suppose. But we're all sucked in.

It’s a big weekend for food and wine lovers at the Jersey Fresh Food and Wine Festival, Saturday and Sunday at Hopewell Valley Vineyards in Pennington.

Holly.
moreHello, Tow Dolly
Standing in front of something with a camera in your hands is no time to rationalize why you are drawn to it.
That can come later, when you decide whether the picture worked--that is, whether it transfers to two dimensions something of what you experienced in three (plus time.)
But that still doesn't explain why you were drawn to it.
moreWeekend Picks: Cool Jazz, Slow Food
Used to be you needed a long memory to think of Asbury Park as a happening town. But look at all the renovation of classic Asbury places like Convention Hall and Paramount Theater, plus the restaurant scene, chic shopping, and like always, the beach. You see why it’s cool again. Or is it hot? Get both this weekend with the 20th annual Asbury Park Jazz Festival. Performers and schedule here.

New Jerseyans who know their ham have been getting some mighty fine slices at Bon Appetit Fine Foods in Princeton since earlier this year, when the USDA finally approved import of the legendary Ibérico ham from Spain.
