Early morning in front of Grauman’s Chinese Theater in Hollywood, a pigeon drinks water and eats bread crumbs from the tender cement prints of Morgan Freeman, Bird Feeder.

Tuesday, January 10th, 2012Images from the service area of an old car dealership in Los Angeles. On one stripped wall, the interesting association of an American flag with a greasy castle.
Give Me Liberty…Or Just The 1%
Saturday, November 5th, 2011“Occupy Ann Arbor” is setting up shoppe in the aptly-named Liberty Plaza in Ann Arbor, MI. Let’s read some of the advertisements they have on display: “6PM Sign Making & Protest Songs”; “Power To The People”; and something about “Stop Spoiling Our Environment”.
Now, let us view the scene (click to enlarge):
Mounty Queen of Mangum
Sunday, September 11th, 2011Meet Kay Freeman, Mounty Queen of Mangum OK. A shag-carpeted trophy room dedicated to her equestrian achievements in the Mangum, OK museum. A wonderful place to see the town’s history and Oklahoma’s past. Peek your head into here and turn to the right…you’ll find the award leftovers in a corner basket. More from Mangum coming soon.
Flags of Our Classrooms
Saturday, August 6th, 2011My old Eastside elementary school in Niles, Michigan is returning to life. Recently closed by a questionable school board decision it is now reopening as a magnet institution. Walking through the empty classrooms I photographed the frayed and well-displayed flags. K thru 6 memories at each location.
Machine Empty…
Sunday, January 23rd, 2011Do not use. Recent scan from cross-processed neg, 2005 Michigan State Fair. Near the end.
Dust Bowl Blues
Sunday, December 5th, 2010South of Fresno, CA (Fall 2010) a couple cars parked off the highway next to the fill-er-up. Dust caked and time baked to distinction. Ultimately bound for glory in my book. Nice juxtaposition with the Christmas lights permanently fixed to the house.
Detroit Painting
Thursday, October 28th, 2010Nestled there in the pines off of Woodward Avenue, downtown Detroit, a lovely painting. Steps from the sidewalk, out of all context. Part of a DIA “out of home” display. Near the Fox Theater.
Non-Rangefinder Break
Monday, May 17th, 2010Like many snap addicts across the land, I have been living with a condition known as Hipstamatic. I hear it will naturally run its course and leave the system in weeks. But right now I am in the thick of it. Fun but fake old photos. And returning to my home via Amtrak, passing through Detroit, I hade to do a Hipstamatic study outside the train windows. Here are but a few of what I could get in between the iPhone choking on low processing power:
Greetings from the Season
Sunday, December 21st, 2008You’d think I’d forget you? This time of year? We’ve known each other longer than that. Well, here you go. A little something. Something I found. Merry Christmas.
