Alice at Six
I have not seen a new movie in the last week, so there is no movie review for this week. Instead, enjoy some of Alice’s six month pictures… There should be more of these in another 3 months.
The Archives: Edition Five
These pictures are from backup/Old My Pictures/Beaver Massacre I’ve try to come up with a good reason for why these pictures exist, but I can’t really defend them. I will just try to explain what the general idea was supposed to be. These were supposed to be “Production Stills” for… Read More »The Archives: Edition Five

Personal Photo Project of the Week #55
Valentine’s Day 2011 Last year I believe I republished the love letters that they were covering on Writer’s Almanac.

The one notable exception being what I always consider to be the… Read More »Personal Photo Project of the Week #55

The Archives: Edition Four
These pictures are from backup/Old My Pictures/Backgrounds My best guess about these pictures is that they were once used as backgrounds 3 or 4 computers ago. Probably my 2nd computer.

Personal Photo Project of the Week #54
Amy – 9 Emotions Of all the people I have ever met in my life, perhaps only Marla Gorshe hates having her picture taken more than Cousin Amy.

The Archives: Edition Three
These pictures are from: backup/Old My Pictures/ Animals In retrospect, I don’t know why I named this folder Animals. There aren’t that many animal pictures in it.

Nuclear Library Redux A look at the original Nuclear Library: A couple alternates: I’m not sure what next week’s Personal Photo Project will be, but I’m hoping it will involve film. Although I haven’t shot the next Redux image, it will most likely be Dead End.

Embarrassing Anti-Intellectualism
Unfortunately a Doomsday Cult has put up this billboard in Boone. They have made these calculations on their belief (yes, there are people who actually believe such things) that the world is only 14,000 years old. Despite the fact that The Bible clearly states that “No one knows about that… Read More »Embarrassing Anti-Intellectualism
