I went to Reckless on a mission. I'd tested many colors on the walls of my office, found the…read moreperfect shade of gray and was subsequently disappointed by the paint quality. The sample was thin, clumpy and just of poor quality. Being an inexperienced painter in the digital age, I turned to online reviews for recommendations for high quality paint. Enter Reckless Paint, one of the only Benjamin Moore paint suppliers in the Durham/Chapel Hill area. If you're looking for an old-school, friendly paint shop, this is the place to go. The staff was knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. The owner helped me decide which type of paint I needed, matched the color perfectly to the sample I'd loved and made sure that I purchased the right amount of paint. They did mistakenly make an eggshell instead of a matte finish. I wasn't picky and could have been easily convinced that eggshell was a better option. They didn't push a 'well, eggshell is superior' sale on me. Instead, they profusely apologized and gave me a 50% discount! That's customer service. I hadn't expected anything like that (and to be honest, was completely fine with the eggshell after they showed me the eggshell paint on their walls and gave me instructions on how I should use the paint). They carried multiple types of paint (I bought and loved the low VOC Devine paint...no priming and I only needed 1 coat to cover brown walls). I also saw paint supplies- rollers, brushes, drop cloths, etc and stains for wood. When the urge to change the colors of my walls strikes again, I'll definitely return to Reckless. I'd highly recommend to anyone looking for quality paint and service.

CONTENT, CONTENT, content! The galleries exhibited here will not only capture your artistic eye,…read morebut they will provoke deed insight. The exhibits usually looks pretty sparse at first glance. Visual photography/video art installations with no markings next to pieces. FIND the gallery guide! This is where ALL the content is! Phone Home Durham, the latest gallery, was a compilation of community submitted cellphone shots. What's next, you say? An exhibit I'm VERY much looking forward to-- BRIDGE QUESTION: Black Males {Sept. 8-Nov. 21} This will be a documentary-styled video art installation!! It will provide a "safe setting for necessary, honest expression and HEALING dialogue on themes that divide, unite and puzzle black males today..." If just the discussion of this gallery has gotten your gears going, check out Power Plant Gallery! Every individual exhibit is drastically different, yet there are few galleries in the area that truly incorporate visually and intellectually stimulating works. This small gallery neighbors Full Frame Theater, and consists of one large, white walled room. I couldn't say it better than the gallery says it itself: a laboratory for documentary & experimental art practices at Duke U. The Gallery provides ongoing opportunities for Duke students, faculty & staff as well as Durham communities to consider the essential role and transformative capacity of the arts in society. Logistics: Gallery can make for a long or short stop. Small space, but full of content! Conveniently located at American Tobacco Campus, open Tuesdays-Saturdays {check the website, summer hours differ from winter hours}, easy to walk in and out and usually fairly quiet. Free two hour parking in two parking garages [and the gallery is free as well!]. TWO entrances, enter through the Full Frame Theater building (take a right in the boiler room and go through glass door) or enter through door to left of POWER PLANT graphic (see photo!) Gallery rotate every three months and is always open late during Durham's Third Friday Art Walk. {The www.powerplantgallery.org is VERY useful!}

Wow. As if the available traditional-medium art in the Triangle is not enough, there's also a…read moregallery dedicated to electronic-medium art of the camera. I thought having books of pictures would be a reasonable facsimile of the seeing the actual photograph. It's like any art form really, I thought. Through This Lens proved me wrong. Where a book can group places and concepts, a gallery has to be a bit more selective, I think. It has limited space and time to capture and keep your interest as it competes with other medium and distractions. And in downtown Durham, during a weekend festival no less, TTL managed to do it. TTL has photos from all over the world. All are visually stunning in their own way. Each with a message, sometimes subtle, sometimes not so much. One can see snippets of objects, colors, movement -- all moments in time captured by the photographer-artist. In this one small gallery you can travel the world from the reservations in Arizona to the deserts in Africa. It's a mini-vacation. The owner, Roylee was very helpful in answering my questions and explaining the technique used by a photographer of one particular picture that captured my attention. There was a color photo of a dried well, the tan walls a sharp contrast to the two women in bright saris, there at the bottom of the drying well. The description by the photographer added another layer of awesome. Another photograph, a black and white photo taken at an abandoned church in Georgia, was stunning. I probably spent fifteen minutes staring at it from every angle. It hadn't yet been hung on the wall so I was able to look at it from all angles as I walked around the table. The lines and shadows just drew me in. There was such an unexpected symmetry in that picture, it was hard to believe it wasn't computer-drawn. And so it went for my entire visit. .

They usually have several bottles of red and wine wines along with a complimentary cheese/bread plate for gallery guests during their special events, which is quite nice. The photography is from all over the world, many prints I'd recognize as South East Asia but there are also some lovely local Triangle photos and those for the nature enthusiast. I'd recommend putting Through This Lens on your gallery hopping list if it's convenient, but it isn't large enough and, after a handful of visits, I've never received a personal greeting to draw me back if it's out of the way. Through This Lens rents their space from Durham Arts Place, around to the right if you're facing the entrance and up the stairs.
