testing my skilz
For longer than a dog’s age (note charming and meaningless colloquialism) I’ve wanted to get a few of my photos on line but couldn’t figure out how to make it happen. Last night I had a breakthrough and so I’m taking a crack now at posting an image or two. Please tell me if you encounter any technical difficulties. Not that there’s much I could do about it, but it would be nice to know. Frankly, I’m slap-ass happy that I’ve even gotten this far, so don’t pull any ‘tude on me here. It’s still early in california, damnit, and I need more coffee before I can put up with your crap. And BTW, since these are scans of physical photos, the color and clarity are a bit off. What the hell. It’s better than leaving them in a shoebox under the ragbag. Enough disclaimers. The photos are speaking for themselves even now.
This one was taken the very first time I ever walked around with a real camera in my hands; it was 1980 and I photographed my neighborhood at dusk. I like especially how the door seems ready to explode with light. But I’m easy that way.
This one was taken as I wandered Lima Ohio after my Grandfather’s funeral. It’s such a moribund little town but these enduring yet illegible messages always give me hope for some reason.
More to come. Eventually. Hell it’s taken me over 20 years to take the damn things, it’ll take me a few weeks to post them. Mellow out, have a beer or something. Tomorrow’s friday, init?
that's just the way it seemed to me at 08:36 AM

i’m sorry, lima *is* moribund. but, like most places in ohio, i think it just keeps its beauty and optimism deeper under the surface. and this picture, in some strange way, expresses that. it’s ugly, and it’s painted-over, but at the same time, there’s a sense of something exciting and real as well. i like it.

I look forward to your “Nude” series.
There will be a Nude series, yes?

I wanna post photos too...I guess I’ll have to leave blogspot and get an actual site or something...right? Very cool stuff.

stacey, you got out of lima - it’s an excellent sign, and anyway, things were a lot different 20 years ago or so… it’s really fun to click to the site and see the old photos up. Get it going Miss Bliss, you’ll be glad you did! (This from a guy who totally leans on the amazing ms pea to handle everything for me.)
