Good grief. Time flies. Feeling into some folk magical, ethnographic sorta vibe...ancestors, poppyseeds, mushrooms. Get me? Zeroimage pinhole with Ilford FP4, processed in Ilfosol3. Continue reading

The James River is running high after the recent heavy rain. This morning I loaded up the Zeroimage pinhole with Ilford FP4 and took a walk down to make some pictures. These exposures ranged anywhere from a minute to about two and half minutes. Continue reading

It rained most of yesterday, sometimes heavily. After a few dry hours, more showers went through. Everything is very soggy, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. The heat will be ramping up over the next few days so at least the plants won't dry bake (but hopefully they won't... Continue reading

I've been wanting Polish baked goods for a while. There aren't really any bakeries in the Richmond area that feature central/eastern European goodies. So, of course, I have to make my own. There were far more poppyseeds in my freezer than I suspected, so making the filling for these pastries... Continue reading

First off...Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there. I know, it's a manufactured holiday, but still...hope y'all have a lovely day! So...back to the subject at hand. I was recently provided with a couple new(er) computers by a friend. It's going to make my technological life easier, which... Continue reading

A strong thunderstorm went through last night. This was the flashiest and loudest so far this season. A good bit of rain fell too so, no need to water the garden today. In addition it may barely reach 70F. Add to the overcast this morning, more NorCal-ish ambiance. Below, a... Continue reading

With warmer weather and summer on the horizon, I figured I'd start up my fermented soda making process. For this first batch, it's just going to be basic ginger and lime, with a little cardamom...just because. Over the course of the season I'll mix things up by adding berries or... Continue reading

As is per usual this time of year (or any time during the growing season), the local critters and varmints can prove a challenge. In an effort to keep the deer from jumping the main garden fence, I decided to try a fun solution. The area where I assumed they... Continue reading

There was a good thunderstorm last evening, along with a soaking rain. The temperature cooled off over night and this morning it's a bit foggy. It reminds me of the bay area. It feels good and comforting. Maybe bittersweet and poignant too? This separation I've experienced from the west coast,... Continue reading

Here are a few strawberries from the garden. Here I am trying to figure out how to be more content, more appreciative and less critical of "who I am". You know, just your usual Monday morning. Instax wide film in the Lomo'Instant... Continue reading

It's Saturday morning and I've woken up in my own bed. The critters were active last night and Avery was doing a LOT of barking...I've yet to go survey the garden. Given the breech of the deer fencing while I was gone, I've got some fun ideas for shoring the... Continue reading

I'm back from a couple days up in DC assisting Dawn Flores install her exhibit at the Hillyer art space in DC. It was a very busy, exhausting, but inspiring and joyful experience. Please check out the previous links to learn more about Dawn and the Hillyer. And if you're... Continue reading

Because, you know, if I'm shooting off a couple rolls of film for pinholes, I'm going to end up in a few. Ilford FP4 in the Zero... Continue reading

I shot two rolls of Ilford FP4 in the Zero for Pinhole Day. One roll is from around VMFA and the other is mostly here at home. I'll admit, I felt more haphazard than usual in my approach. Even with that, however, there are images that I like. There are... Continue reading

I have no pinholes to share just yet, as the film needs to be processed. But it was a lovely day to be out and making pinholes with a friend. Maybe next year I'll throw a pinhole day party again! Continue reading

Last day of Polaroid week for this spring. As usual, that went by fast. So...the first image isn't really what I had in mind. I say that meaning that I didn't fully imagine what the result would be when I clicked the shutter. With pinholes, even though there is no... Continue reading

As I reflect on my own life, the transitions that have occurred, by virtue of so many twists in the road, come to mind. I sit sometimes dumbfounded at where I am now. I come back to a place where I find it necessary to dig deep into my own... Continue reading

I've been going to the physical therapist for several weeks now. When I went yesterday, I told my guy that my middle name needs to be Whackamole. We start with practices for one thing, which causes a different thing to pop up, week after week. Now, I do understand this... Continue reading

I wasn't going to color any eggs this year. But I had the time and inclination yesterday, even if I didn't have all the supplies. And by supplies I mean cheesecloth. I've been dyeing eggs in onion skin for years (but not every year) and I usually cover the eggs... Continue reading

Easter, so many childhood memories. Food stands out...and candy...church services coming third as far as nostalgia goes. And the food brings me to the ancestors, the old country, so many who came before, that I never knew. I never even knew either of my grandmothers...one died when I was 6... Continue reading

Good Friday. I remember when I was a kid...no school on this day. But...I had to go to church...for what seemed like hours. Rituals...the Catholic church is way big on rituals. I honestly didn't mind it that much...it was a little fascinating and I liked the smell of the frankincense.... Continue reading
