"Actually, I'm not all that interested in the subject of photography. Once the picture is in the box, I'm not all that interested in what happens next. Hunters, after all, aren't cooks.” -Henri Cartier-Bresson

Stephanie is a hunter. Not just of photography or of painting but of her every impulse. Not interested in the end product, or sometimes even the process, she is in the midst of a discipline concerning only her most fleeting fancies and capricious whims. She is engrossed in the systematic and rigorous exploration of this singular idea and is unwilling to let me know when she will be finished with it.

Stephanie is currently attending the University of Arizona pursuing her undergraduate degree in Art (and maybe Craft) with a minor in Theater Arts. She is graduating in May 2011 and will promptly begin forgetting everything she’s learned and will, from there, build a new education beginning with an extended stay with her grandparents in Santa Fe, NM and Witten, Germany.

  • In Berkeley, California, the Karma Clinic has been treating people with holistic medicine on a gift basis for two years. After the consultation or treatment, the client receives a “bill” that reads, “Your consultation is a generous gift from someone that came before you. If you would like to gift-forward in that spirit, you can do so however you choose. Monetary or other gifts may be left in the gift box in the Karma Clinic office or mailed to …” In Ashland, Oregon, another gift-based clinic called the Gifting Tree has formed. There are doubtless many more around the country, and they appear to be quite sustainable: the Victoria Attunement Center operated purely on a donation basis from 1982 to 1988 and, according to its founder Will Wilkinson, was completely self-supporting with over 300 client visits per month. The gift model has also been applied to restaurants. The One World restaurant in Salt Lake City, in operation since 2003; the SAME (So All May Eat) Cafe in Denver, in operation since 2008; A Better World Cafe in New Jersey, which opened in 2009; the Karma Kitchen in Berkeley; and many more operate on a donation-only basis — and many of them serve organic food to boot.
