If grandmothers around the world had a rallying cry, it would probably sound something like “You need to eat!”

Photographer Gabriele Galimberti’s grandmother said something similar to him before one of his many globetrotting work trips. To ensure he had at least one good meal, she prepared for him a dish of ravioli before he departed on one of his adventures.

“In that occasion I said to my grandma ‘You know, Grandma, there are many other grandmas around the world and most of them are really good cooks,” Galimberti wrote via email. “I’m going to meet them and ask them to cook for me so I can show you that you don’t have to be worried for me and the food that I will eat!’ This is the way my project was born!”

The project, “Delicatessen With Love”, took Galimberti to 58 countries where he photographed grandmothers with both the ingredients and finished signature dishes.

He acted as photographer and stylist during each shoot with the grandmothers, taking a portrait of both the women and the food they made for him.

I wanna have sex to this song.

“Interestingly, where Pitchfork’s glowing review of the song somehow overlooked the very thing that makes it so appealing, YouTube user meowmixupinhere manages to sum it up – eloquently, and concisely: ’this is some quality baby makin music.’ ” x

Larry Big Crow was one of Boulder’s older hippie relics.

Everyday he’d sell wildflowers for a quarter and play the same five Beatles songs with a yellowed, beatific smile. He tried to live a simple life to honor his Cherokee princess ancestor he’d met at Whole Foods. In return for his sage wisdom shop owners gave him food, water, and sunscreen for his sensitive white Cherokee skin.

“The cast went down there and spent a few days playing sardines, and just mucking about in the house so that they could claim it as there own house. They each had their own bedroom and a space of their own. Tom Hollander (Mr. Collins) also played sardines and claimed that when he was in a cupboard with the five Bennett sisters it was the happiest day of his life.”

(Joe Wright, Director)

“Even when she symbolized an extreme of experience, of sexual knowingness, she took each new circumstance of life, as it came to her or as she sought it, like a newborn babe. And yet this was what made her luminous—her innocence. The glow was not rubbed off her by her experience of the ugliness of life because finally, in some vital depth, she had been untouched by it.”

“The soul is often imagined to be feminine. All those qualities thought of as soulful, a dreaminess or artistic sensibility, are supposed to come more naturally to women. Ephemeral, half seen, half present, nearly ghostly, with only the vaguest relation to the practical world of physical law, the soul appears to us as lost. The hero, with his masculine virtues, must go in search of her. But there is another, older story of the soul. In this story she is firmly planted on the earth. She is incarnate and visible everywhere. Neither is she faint of heart, nor fading in her resolve. It is she, in fact, who goes bravely in search of desire.”
