I try to steer clear of hot topics, but now I'm all riled up. Was just reading comments about this Chris Brown preforming at The Grammy's.  I am constantly baffled by the illogicality in the human race. Here's the run down on Chris Brown vs Rhiana that I garnered from those reader comments: -He's a son of a bitch for hitting a woman. -We are all against domestic violence of any kind. -No

Since last night I've been busy, busy, busy.  I'm overhauling my life a small section at a time.  I have gotten rid of/chucked so much stuff, honestly I don't know where it comes from.  The sad thing is that I've done SO much work but you can't even really tell.  I can tell - I feel better letting this stuff just go - but, my living quarters are still a disaster. I just finished cleaning my

I dropped off my pinhole camera roll today & after I'd finished my errands they were ready.  I won't go into the lack of customer service at our HWY 49 Walgreens or how I will try my damn-dest to not ever do business there again. Instead here are the photographs:  Not bad considering the film roll was in a pinhole camera, that I made, then was transferred to a really old 35 mm camera in a dark

Well, hello Mr. Nikon! On Thursday, the Universe saw fit to drop a 35mm Nikon N75 into my lap.  Complete with two rolls of 800 colour film and three rolls of black & white... AND an orange lens filter for spicing up b&w photographs. A guy I know learned I was shooting with the Yashika and said, "I've got a film camera you can have."  He bought it about eight years ago with all the stuff, shot

These guys had a name? These guys... I LOVED these guys when I was a child.  Well, the smaller one's because they were the only one's that existed in my small world.  They were HUGE in the early - mid 1980's and were all over the place.  Girls would have them stuck to their Trapper Keepers, they ended up in Easter baskets, came with Valentine gifts.  Just everywhere I went someone had at least

How have I lived without you VIA? Here we have coffee.  Lovely, wonderful coffee.  Personally, I prefer Caribou Coffee, but we don't have that here.  We have Starbucks... so I love Starbucks.  For some reason I had an aversion to even trying their VIA line of coffees.  It wasn't until my sister had some and I really wanted coffee that I gave it a whirl, and honestly I never want to look back

Notice the 'easy to build' logo on the packaging. I have wanted a pinhole camera since I was seven.  This Christmas my sister gave me one.  I was super excited and could not wait to put it together and start using it.  So, with my paint brush and glue in hand I got busy. I am a fairly smart individual, but the directions were deplorable.  It took me two hours to put this camera together and

Today in 1884, an unknown photographer inspired legions of tornado-chasers when he captured the earliest known photograph of a tornado. The black-and-white image was taken about 45 kilometers (22 Miles) southwest of Howard, South Dakota.

I watched the animated film, Megamind last night.  I enjoyed it.  It reminded me a little of Dr. Horrible, as they were both anti-hero villains that you can't help but love.  Only Dr. Horrible was still the anti-hero stayed villain, but whatever.  Of course I absolutely ADORE Dr. Horrible and this was nothing compared to its greatness, but it was still enjoyable none-the-less.

My 365 Picture Project, subtitled 'I Love This!', has finally come to a close.   I started 30 April 2010 and finished four days ago (7 August 2011); it took me so long because I would just end up not doing it for weeks at a time. I tried uploading all of them somewhere other than Facebook, but I never finished that either.  But, I'll share a couple of one's I still really love upon reviewing the

Tonight my sister and I did a project.  Draw our Doorway and draw our Alien Self that lives inside of us. The Doorway to my Soul. I have always wondered why people (in general) always sort of shy away from me and never really come to me or get to know me.  Drawing these this evening, everything felt right.  If I had a doorway people had to get to and enter to get to know me this would

Jem & The Holograms was a cartoon series that ran from 1985 - 1988.  Jem, aka Jerrica Brennon and her fabulous glam rock band, The Holograms, who with help of her super computer, in the form of a woman, Synergy, become the best band in the universe ever!  ...or something. And we can't forget their rivals, The Misfits... who always reminded me of the girl version of Mötley Crüe. I loved this show

WASHINGTON — For nearly 150 years, a story has circulated about a hidden Civil War message engraved inside Abraham Lincoln's pocket watch. On Tuesday, museum curators confirmed it was true. A watchmaker used tiny tools to carefully pry open the antique watch at the National Museum of American History, and a descendant of the engraver read aloud the message from a metal plate underneath the watch

I was listening to a replay of a January 2000 Art Bell Coast to Coast AM show Saturday night.Art had Lloyd Pye on the show talking about skulls that he had recently acquired.He was talking about this girl.
