Chevrolet Apache Pickup
Since I teased you a couple of days ago with the 1959 Chevrolet Apache nameplate, I figured I should show you the whole thing. This flat black pickup was parked along the street in our neighborhood. Parallel parked, it was quite difficult to get a good angle without a ton of distractions. However, undeterred, I…… Continue reading Chevrolet Apache Pickup
Five String Banjo
I’m adding a five string banjo to the list of instruments I’ve shot for this project. This one hangs on the wall at the Urban Ecology Center just down the road from our house where they have quite a collection of stringed instruments. Hanging next to it is also a guitar, a mandolin, and ukulele all hanging around…… Continue reading Five String Banjo
Revere Eight – Model 99
I just can’t get enough of vintage camera gear. This is the Revere Eight Model 99 8mm camera. I picked this up at a rummage sale in the neighborhood a few weeks ago for $2. I’m not sure if it still works well and honestly, it really doesn’t matter. I bought it for how it…… Continue reading Revere Eight – Model 99
The Keystone Capri K28 8mm Camera
The Keystone Capri K28 8mm camera. Oh, what wonderful things it has seen – riding a Harley in the 1950s, time with the grandparents, parents, and kids, skiing in Colorado, boat racing in Texas, the arrival of a President in Houston, Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, relaxing times with family at the pool or along…… Continue reading The Keystone Capri K28 8mm Camera
Bakers Dozen
As a slight nod to today’s date, I wanted to create an image that contained or conveyed the number ’13’ in some fashion. And for some reason, the first thing that popped into my head was a baker’s dozen – which of course is thirteen. And before you send me emails wondering if I can count, I…… Continue reading Bakers Dozen
Yashica FX-3 with 90mm lens
Thanks to some very generous friends, I now have a vintage Yashica FX-3 film camera and a Vivitar 90mm macro lens. They have been cleaning out some things from their father’s collection of camera gear, and in the past few months, I’ve been gifted several film cameras, multiple lenses, a full darkroom setup, a very nice copy…… Continue reading Yashica FX-3 with 90mm lens
Night Falls on the Lonely Robot
After a long, long day of searching the streets in vain, the lonely little robot finds a quiet spot on a hill above the din of the city where he can sit and rest. He is alone and sad and he wonders if he will ever find her again. And as night fall around him, from somewhere far…… Continue reading Night Falls on the Lonely Robot
Spiral: Shape and Form
One of the reasons I decided to start a 365 Project was to simply shoot and/or process something new every day. I’ve been doing that now for 157 days and the journey so far has been fantastic. Something I did not think about when I started, was how the project would sharpen and expand my design…… Continue reading Spiral: Shape and Form
The Wave
“You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment.” –Henry David Thoreau “Unless you paddle for the wave, you’ll never know if you could catch it. But once you do… Ride it as long as you can. Love as long as you can.” –Abigail Spencer This wave…… Continue reading The Wave

“Hope is the thing with feathers That perches in the soul And sings the tune without the words And never stops at all.” — Emily Dickinson For the shot of the day, here is a delicate pink feather on a bright colorful background. It is cold, grey, and snowy outside and I feel like I’ve…… Continue reading Delicate Pink Feather
