Old Mountain Stage Pics

I interned at Mountain Stage when I was in college (long ago) and got the chance to get some photos of Robyn Hitchcock and R.E.M. when they performed there. These shots appeared in the Mountain Stage book, which is worth owning, if you can find it.

Weekend Fun

We went to a cookout Saturday at our friend Brian Jones' house. It was a grand time. Look at how beautiful Mia is in her goggles!

Neat Idea...Think I'll Steal It

I saw a cool shot in the Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day gallery by a fellow named Ma Sai Chong in Hong Kong. He made a camera and put two strips of 35mm film in it. I thought it was a neat idea, so I did what most of us do. I copped the idea, chopped it, supercharged it, added Thrush Pipes, and loaded THREE strips of 35mm in one of my paint-can cameras (a Nikan? Can-on?). Here's the result. Beat that, Mr. Hong Kong!

Woodpecker Tree

We have a family of woodpeckers living in a maple tree in our front yard. Amee caught the mom and dad in one shot; all I could get were leaves.

Pinholes, Roll 9

East End Yard Sale

These pinhole images were shot during the East End Yard Sale.

Jones Soda Candy Camera Shot #2

I think this shot is a bit better than my first one with the Jones Soda Candy pinhole camera.

By the Way...

This is a Buddha.

This is not a Buddha.

Eggplants, and Buddha is a Hit with the Ladies!

We got a neat Buddha at Lowe's for our flower bed; Mia was playing with Barbies and placed one on his lap. Amee shot these, by the way.

Anniversary

Last Thursday, the 10th, Amee and I celebrated our 16th anniversary. We went out for a nice dinner and stayed up too late. I look forward to at least 100 more.

Greatest Comic Book Villains

Greatest Villain from Marvel Comics: Doctor Doom--genius, dictator, all-around kickass bad guy. He shot the Baxter Building into space!
Greatest Villain from DC: Darkseid--genius, dictator, rules a whole friggin' planet!
A nod the the Joker, the coolest homicidal maniac in comicdom.
Somebody weigh in on this; I know you all have your own fave and reasons for it. Roll up and gimme your 2 cents worth!

On The Roof

I saw the tree/sky as I was walking to work; I found the peeling paint when I went up to shoot it.

Amee Shooting Pinholes

Two shots I took while Amee was making some pinhole images, and a pinhole image of my girls and my nephews. This one was taken with my 4x5 home-made pinhole camera.

Weekend Excavations and Other Shots

We did quite a bit of digging and planting this weekend. As usual, when you dig in front of my house, you always find various and sundry items lost in days gone by. This time we found a toy soldier, the legs of a cowboy, a baby arm, and an axe for a Big Jim action figure. And a bunch of marbles.
