My latest upload on Flickr... sorry for my terrible absence from Blogging and commenting on other's blogs. Will try to do better. Enjoying a beautiful Fall in the city; can you believe the Holidays are right around the corner?

Scrapbook found in a tiny New England town's cluttered antique store. Lovely salmon colored embossed cover, with fading gold leaf trims, and stunning graphic elements on front. The inside is filled with gorgeous yellowed paper (unused) and the back shows and embossed patent of March 1876.

This is Greg Garing, one of the recording artists whose album cover I shot this year. The record release party is behind us, and I'll post images as soon as I get my copies of the albums. For now I leave you with this outtake from one of our photo shoots.

Film Flam and All That Stuff

How did a month go by?  It's almost Summer and I am not prepared!  I'm not even 1/3  of the way done with film scanning from last year.  The task is time consuming, but I get lost in the magic, reliving memories as I scan each frame.  Each negative holds a surprise, and I feel like Peter Billingsly as "Ralphie" in The Christmas Story as he locks himself in the bathroom to decipher the secret message from his Little Orphan Annie Decoder Ring... the anticipation, the excitement, the.... WHAT the???  Yeah, so ok, sometimes the scan is little more than some bizarre light-leaky abstracts like these above.  That's what you get when you work in toy plastics!

I've added stainless steel chains and silver toned medals to the Armory.  I really need to get to listing all my sMacVision Armor at some point, but for now I sell quite well offline - - easier when people see them 'in person'.  There are some in my Etsy shop, and if you see anything here, feel free to contact me.

There is a significant shop update with new prints.  For now just in the Etsy shop... coming soon to SuperMarket as well.

I've also made bracelets.  They come in singles or multiples, and I wear mine stacked, just like I do my necklaces.  As with the silver stuff above, these aren't in any of my online shops.

Happy Memorial Day Weekend to all who celebrate it, and are fortunate enough to have it off!
