I witnessed a young man shoplift today.
I was at Walgreens picking up my meager lunch of Chef Boyardee because I needed some tissues. The young man, wearing his over-sized black jeans and khaki Dickies shirt, walked slowly through the back aisle of the store where I stood. While I deliberated between Oreo Cakesters [...]

The Australasian Antarctic Expedition, 1911-1914
Monday, November 17, 2008
The State Library of New South Wales, Australia, has a Flickr account and has uploaded two dozen photos from the first “Australasian Antarctic Expedition” that ran from 1911 to 1914, led by geologist Douglas Mawson. Most of the photos are either silver gelatin prints or negatives, and several of them are quite spectacular.

Things could be slow this week, folks…
Between a crazy busy work week and crap-loads of work around the house, my mind isn’t all there lately.
But I did get something nifty, recently
The Furniture of Eero Saarinen: Designs for Everyday Living
Monday, October 27, 2008
The Virginia Center for Architecture is hosting an exhibit on Eero Saarinen’s furniture through January 25th of ‘09. While the VCA has a tragically small exhibition space, the furniture selections are decent and the detailed time line in the main hallway is thoroughly informative.

Good Times = Slow Posting
Monday, September 8, 2008
Blog action will be fairly light this week because things are getting busy as the week winds toward my hombre Jake’s wedding on Saturday. That coupled with a short work week and plenty to do around the house means I’m going to be distracted from my usual internet tomfoolery (side note - I LOVE [...]

Monday, August 18, 2008

Reading it Old School
Monday, August 18, 2008
This weekend I was at a Borders bookstore in Northern Virginia when I decided I’d purchase some magazines. I started looking through the periodical racks for a photography magazine because I was interested in seeing what art criticism and journalism looked like for that medium. It turns out I was a bit more [...]
On the Waterfront (not the movie)
Thursday, August 14, 2008
Yeah, I know…this is going to start looking like a photoblog for a while, I’m sure. But at least it’s original content
I’d rather have an unoriginal format (as if blogging was my idea in the first place) with my own creative output than the other way around. Also, this is a [...]
It is the labels…

The New York Times has an interesting opinion piece from Errol Morris about how photographs can be exploited, but the picture above nearly made me burst out laughing at my cubicle desk.
Feasting on Waves
Thursday, July 31, 2008
Holy Crap!!! Alton Brown has a new show starting on September 7th called Feasting on Waves which follows his trip around the Caribbean investigating island foods.
I know what I’ll be watching on Sunday nights (10pm!) for four weeks
