Horse Races & the Crowd

Lawn chairs next to chips. Dripping yellow cream and sizzling jalapeños on a crispy meat stick inside a bun. A tattoo, a brimmed hat and a shared moment.

Gossiping girls giggle and a 4-1 chance on number five is marked.

Out of the gate, a cheer rises as the trumpeting suit with a beard calls the seated. Grandpa’s eye extensions hang from her neck in a land far from home.

After the first lap, a groan meets its mate…a torn wager.

Sun sets on a lit lawn and the next lap begins, seemingly unaffected by the chattering bugs.




Back To You…Its About Nothing

I am going to post for you again. Really. No joke.

It’s not that I forgot about you. It just that I felt like recharging for a while.

I have one underexposed Polaroid and one blown out baseball photo. They don’t match or even play off each other. I have them. And that is all.

I promise to keep you updated more often. Don’t abandon me.


Political Polaroid

Polaroid has announced that it will no longer be making instant film. That means no more polaroids. That is sad. Fuji still makes it…but not for much longer I suspect.

I just got a land camera. Built in 1967, it still works perfect. It gives me the artistic feeling of working with film and the instant gratification I have come to expect by working with digital. It is perfect. It even smells funky and gross (artsy of course.)

I will be sad to see it go.

Until then, I will be buying as much of it as I can, shooting as much as I can, and posting as much as I can.
