My first real curatorial endeavor created in partnership with Ashley Stull and with the collaboration of the late Steven Leiber. His archive was truly wonderful and unique, but he was even more.

See (only a taste) of his archive here.

as of late.

Go ahead. 
Connect all the dots and get back to me about it. 
It would really help me with some important paper I'm dreaming about.

This is the most powerful image in my little thrift shop collection of abandoned images. I remember snatching it so fast from a stack of images in a Kansas City flea market booth that I nearly ripped it.
Sometimes I like to convince myself the hunched man on the left with the camera or binoculars on his arm is Dwight Eisenhower...Or Bob Hope. 
I'm not sure why.

I have a folder full of artworks/artists' files....and most of them are photographs of photographs.
If I were an art collector, I think this would be my specialty.

This is a good explanation for why things have been so slow here lately.
Think 100 degree heat, double cheeseburgers with caramelized onions, fries, and malts.
Think reeeeeal slow.
