These folks walk their goats in the park across the street from my house. On the same day, I was walking down the street with Tiger, we were going to the thrift store and noticed a sign at one of the houses that said there was cheese for sale; chevre, feta, and another I can't remember. It was the goat people and I bought some feta, it was fantastic.



There is a thrift store around the block called "Teen Challenge". Tiger and I found some loot.




Some friends of mine live next door here in the duplex. They have a band called Morning Teleportation. They were practicing and I wanted to finish the roll of film.




Pretty much all of the Black and White photos you'll see on my blog here were shot with a Canonet QL17 G3, a "poor man's Leica". It's grown on me a bit. It's a handy little 1970s rangefinder made by Canon. You can get them for about 70$ on ebay. It's not the most efficient camera when compared to my digital gear, but I enjoy it. Whenever I get to the end of the roll it normally lets me take one extra frame, and it pretty much always overlaps. This time it turned out kinda cool (the one above). I thought I'd add some of the past last frame smooshes for fun.

Provo, Ky.






Seco, Ky.


In Seco, Ky. where my Mom's side of the family is from my Uncle Al lives on property that used to be a coal mine. It was reclaimed by my Great Grandfather Ted, a coal miner, who planted white pine trees all over the property around 60 years ago. In the late 90s the pine trees got the beetle blite and they were all dying standing up. He began cutting them down and making use of them. Recently he built a cabin by himself, on the foundation of an old coal building, out of the trees that my Great Grandfather planted.

Bowling Green, Ky.





Below are some photos of "The Pirate House" in Bowling Green. The Pirate House is no more. This house was a past frat house, that was scheduled to be demolished. Somehow my friend Micah arranged to live with others in it and only pay the utilities, until they demolished it, which they never did. It earned a reputation in Bowling Green for having raucus rock 'n roll house shows. At the last show there in Nov., Morning Teleportation was playing and the room got so crowded that in the middle of their first song the floor caved in. No one was hurt apparently. They used the wrecked room artistically, giving it a pirate theme, before leaving.





Recording at the Cabin


While I was visiting, my friends' band Noizejoi did some recording, out at a friend's cabin, for an ep that they are hoping to have ready by summer of this year.
