Eaten' sum soop

Okay, a break from the old slides. This one needed to be shared. I am more and more in awe these days with what I can only call my child's development.
I don't want to be one of those parents who goes on and on about how smart, talented, beautiful or other wise superlative their child is. Don't get me wrong, my kid could mop the floor with your kid, but being one who values humility, I hesitate to jump to any delusions of grandeur (for both our sakes).
Our apartment is flooded with drawing after drawing. If I were organized enough, I could put them in chronological order and actually track her progress. I remember when her art first became "objective." Two dots and a line. Now she adds fingers, hair, whiskers, shoes, people looking out windows, I'm amazed.

I'll work on scanning some to share.

Action!

I'm excited for summer.

And We're Back!

Amid internet access issues, and overall busy-ness, this blog has been down for quite some time now. While I can't promise any specific regularity in posts, I'd like to get back to posting at least every now and then (access problems ongoing). So, as a testament to the tenacity that runs deep in my bloodline, I bring you the following gem of a slide:



Look out world!

Old Slide Sunday 18

I haven't got a clue on this one.

Old Slide Sunday 17

This reminds me of a Stephen Shore photograph. Also Joe Koehl is smiling smugly right now.

Dr. Ron Paul

I have never been this motivated to vote for a candidate in my life. Ron Paul gives me hope that our country can return to sanity and order, can support itself financially, and all citizens can receive the protections and rights that the Constitution and Bill of Rights guarantees them.

It's close enough to Christmas by now, I figure. Again not sure of who these folks are, but it looks like they're having some good holiday fun. The young man in the corner must have had too many sugarplums. I'm excited for Christmas.

This picture had to come out eventually. It's the only picture I've ever seen of my dad or grandmother smoking. In fairness, this was when they "didn't know about the health effects." I don't see that as a very good excuse, personally. Either way though, they both quit a long time ago, so it's all gravy... mmmm gravy... Happy Thanksgiving.

Old Slide Sund- er, Tuesday 14

By special request, here's my aunt and uncle looking extra sharp for the camera. Sorry for the delay in posts, I've been super busy.

It's Goofy! I don't really have much to say about this one. It's late.

Out of Control Spam

I thought they passed legislation to control spam? It's fun to try and imagine the people who do this, and what their face would look like being punched. How can this still be profitable? Who clicks on these ads? And whats with the weird text at the bottom? I see it a lot in the spam that gets through to me. I might collect them and construct a poem.

Another photo from the cruise. I imagine the chap on the top to be a captain or first mate, overseeing the voyagers of another fine trip across the sea. Or he's a waiter on a smoke break, I don't know, but I like all the strong diagonal lines in this one with the people fitting in between. It reminds me of this recently discovered Eugene De Salignac photograph.

Old Slide Sunday 11

Looks like someone went on a cruise. There are several pictures from this trip, but I don't know any of the people in the pictures. I'll show more from this cruise in the weeks to come.

Old Slide Sunday 10

What a motley crew. Thats my dad carrying his jacket, and... Robert De Niro, apparently, in front of him.
