The Archives: Edition Six
This picture is from backup/Old My Pictures/County Fair 2004 Apparently I must have entered this picture of Karma in the Boone County Fair. This must have been the year before the “Moldy Jam Incident”. Next week’s folder is: backup/Old My Pictures/County Farm
RWPE Y2 #8 – Market
Not many submissions for MARKET. I have to confess that MARKET was one of the themes that was under consideration for termination. In the end we kept it because my MARKET picture from last year might have been my favorite RWPE picture from last year. Here are this year’s submissions… Read More »RWPE Y2 #8 – Market
Oscar Preview
I thought it wouldn’t hurt to give some predictions on tonight’s Academy Awards. At least the categories that I think I can write semi-competently about. Adapted Screenplay The nominees are… 127 Hours The Social Network Toy Story 3 True Grit Winter’s Bone I have seen all 5 of these movies… Read More »Oscar Preview
Personal Photo Project of the Week #56
The Finite is Not the Infinite I decided to start experimenting with multiple exposures again and when I got this roll of film back, I realized how rust I had become with this photo technique. This was a roll of 36 pictures and most of the multiple exposures came back… Read More »Personal Photo Project of the Week #56
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. Nothing remains of my first computer. Embarrassingly, it was an Apple. IMAGE LOST I briefly flirted with photographing fruit. Not… Read More »The Archives: Edition Four

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.

Personal Photo Project of the Week #53
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.
