About This Website

This blog is intended to showcase my pictures or those of other photographers who have moved beyond the pretty picture and for whom photography is more than entertainment - photography that aims at being true, not at being beautiful because what is true is most often beautiful..

>>>> Comments, commentary and lively discussions, re: my writings or any topic germane to the medium and its apparatus, are vigorously encouraged.

my lunch break

accidentsm.jpgYesterday I'm out and about, running a few errands and my last stop was at the Hometown Deli to pick up an assorted italian sub with l&t, provolone cheese, NO onions, light on the mayo and italian dressing.

I'm standing at the counter and there's a really loud thump/crash. My first thought, since it's Spring, was "there goes another big lump of snow/ice letting go from the roof." However, that thought was interrupted by loud exclamations of "Oh my god, they hit your car." Hustling outside and sure enough, there was my car pushed about 6 feet forward from where it had been parked, knocking over a cedar post in the process.

There were 2 women yelling and pointing down the road, "there he goes". The SUV was far enough away that we could not read the plate number but we got a good description so it was into the deli and a call to the State Police - we have no village police. In the deli, the proprietor blurted out, "that guy was stinking drunk". And sure enough, when the SP caught the guy - 20 miles way in another village - he was, in fact, very stinking drunk.

Eventually, I went home and ate my assorted italian sub with l&t, provolone cheese, NO onions, light on the mayo and italian dressing.

work in progress

We're making progress on my new office. The room use to be the kids TV / computer / hangout room but since they're both hanging out on college campuses, our entire 2nd floor is being almost totally reorganized.

My current office is reverting to a bedroom. In the new space, everything will be built-in. The alcove on the left has wall-to-wall top and bottom cabinets - plenty of storage for gear, printing paper / supplies, prints in archival storage boxes - and a big deep counter for my printer with 5000K overhead lighting for print evaluation and print matting / framing.

The alcove on the right use to be a walk-in closet. After removing the wall, it is becoming my computer area - wall-to-wall desktop with a drawer cabinet at each end. BTW, it's painted a deep neutral grey in order to facilitate critical color work.

Most of the dirty work is done - knocking down walls, skim-coating the walls and ceiling, scrapping the trim and baseboards, and rewiring the room (back to the panel box). The only pain-in-the-ass thing left is the floor. It has to be stripped before it can be sanded. We're saving that for last.

I hope to be moving in by the end of next week.
