This is the most powerful image in my 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 hunchy man on the left with the camera or binoculars on his arm is Dwight Eisenhower or Bob Hope. 

the truth is, i still feel young

my apologies for the long pause..

Another from this series of explorations I started to share HERE.

i hope i can keep working like this+i found andy griffith's wallet.

I found this little wallet at the flea market this weekend. 

Clearly, now that I've moved I really need access to a better scanner. 

gems in my collection.

That past 2 days have been my first few official days of grad. school. 

The whole experience is surreal. 

the adventures of gordon betty

I purchased a packet of negatives and slides in my favorite little booth at the River Market Flea. The packet is labeled Gordon Betty (insert an island name I can't recall at the moment) Greenland. Inside is a very strange assortment of images depicting who I assume is Mr. Betty, a few of his friends, and his travels. I'd like to make various sized prints and make an installation out of them. That is, if I can ever find the time in between thesis and have the money after printing my senior show. 

At what point does someone die and while sifting through their belongings someone says...'Let's sell Uncle Gordon's photo albums instead of keeping them'....

Anyway....Gordon and I are getting to know each other, and he's a pretty interesting guy... 

art, books, true friends, and mother.

I sold not one, but 2 of these this weekend. Dos!
What a humble and thankful little artist I am...

Add that to the list of things to celebrate:

• Senior year: semester I, semester II
  
• finals
• sold one two pieces,
• SNOW!
  

Now it's time to snuggle up, relax with my best friend, love, and enjoy some good films!
