No, I'm not lost in blog world...

I mean... let's just say... I've been busy. It's summer time... July just got away from me. I've spent the summer printing photographs for a show I'm putting together in September and I've been sketching, making photo transfers and all sorts of other stuff as well. Images of those later...

Dusting off

After a great conversation with two students today I dusted off my 4x5 and took some Type 52 Polaroids. It's been too long... I have 4 boxes of Type 52 (positive only film) and two partial boxes of Type 55 (positive and negative film)... so I feel the need to ration it. However, the film is already expired and it will only keep deteriorating so I have to use it.

I took two photographs of Joe and Bean, one of me and Bean and two of myself alone. It was just the beginning... a reorientation to what I love and need to do all the time.

I also processed 4 rolls of 35mm this morning (some rolls are a year old!). Darkroom + Me = mental stability.

not gonna happen

Alright, so there is no way that I can keep up with a picture a day blog... it's stressing me out more than helping me be creative. So, from now on... I will keep posting pictures but I can't deal with one a day...

Support your local! Sally listens to her balloon.

I fall asleep like this too... usually in front of the TV.

Country drive

Booneville

Or your car will rust...

Memorial Day weekend and more

At the playground... Playing with a giant ball!

Crazy shadows

Cousins play with balls

Our little family goes for a walk in extreme sun

Cousins make pirate masks out of Lincoln Logs

I don't know what the sign said...

We slept in a crazy location and this picture seems to be the only way to really describe how random it was... Talk about a collaged image... Joe's disembodied head, the white plane beneath him... disembodied hand (mine) and a monkey... it's like a German Expressionist film. Okay, that doesn't actually mean anything...

Nana's gazebo... or as Charlie calls it, the Carposey.

Work pic

Desk stuff... you know a lot is going on when I have post it's on everything...

This is me on an orange... check out an earlier post of this same doll with blonde hair... I made her more me (complete with tattoos).

Old stuff

Look... posting every day is just not possible... and taking a new picture every day that is worth looking at, posting and commenting on is even harder. Here's some old stuff... (again, probably good that no one reads this blog, eh?).

at home

Joe finished his finals and we lay around watching Lord of the Rings.
