Yeah, uh, you get the picture.

Caught on a Petrified Nose

I never expect to find much humor on Flickr discussion threads, but when Mugs contributes, hilarity ensues.

Don’t you forget about me.

When I hear Simple Minds‘ iconic 80’s anthem, “Don’t You (Forget About Me),” I’m filled with a semi-false nostalgia that tricks me into reminiscing about my mostly crappy high school years…
It was December of my senior year at Central Senior High School in the depressed rural county of Lunenburg, Virginia, and I was preparing for [...]

Buried Treasure

While at my mother-in-law’s house this weekend, she indicated she’d been cleaning out the storage room in her finished basement. She spoke about a few boxes containing some of her late husband’s photo gear. This was news to me as I thought Valerie had taken all of it in college and gave it [...]

Sacred Graffiti

Big ups to my man Dave for really picking up his photographic game on some of his recent shots.

Laughter is the Best Anything

I have three new shots up on Flickr, and this one was my fave
I’ll be starting my photography class this coming Monday, and I fully intend to blog about my assignments, critiques, and results. My photography category is about to get more crowded…

The show was fantastic and included many of the songs from the album, several new pieces, and at least one cover (a Charles Mingus tune I can’t remember). This was the second time I’ve seen Taylor’s own [...]

Jake’s Getting Married!

One of my best friends, Jacob Kelly, is getting married in September! Congratulations, home slice. I think I owe you a brew. Or several.
The fact that he’s asked me to be his best man (a grand honor indeed) means this will be the TWELFTH wedding other than my own where I’m in [...]

Rhythmythicles Photographies

My main homeslice Dave started up a Flickr account, and some of his pictures are really freaking cool, especially when you consider is low-end digital. I’m guessing he’s hit his upload limit for the week or else we’d be seeing some of his film shots, but be sure to keep track of him. [...]

Guano-Paper and Fancy Feast

Mugs is writing some more. Do check out his site, but especially read, “Why I’m Jealous of My Son.”
