just because

I love globes.  I love maps.  

Cartography is beautiful.  

From ancient maps depicting monsters roaming the high seas to the jutting edges of the continents and over the land from end to end.

I found these globes at the Antique Market in Kansas City near the River Market.

Pretty fab.

chalkboard

A handmade gift for my nephew!  It might be slightly premature but I'm sure he will put it to good use one day.  Eventually... when he can hold a piece of chalk in his tiny hand.

The stencil letters came from an antique store in Kansas City, MO

Happy holidays!

The signs of a table well worked

At work we keep this table covered with paper and then drill, saw, cut, paint and stain in all matter of ways.  Some things leak through. I find the final product to be really beautiful.

8 x 10 View Camera - And a test shot

It took a little time for the colors to darken and this is by far the largest polaroid I've ever seen or taken. The shot took some time to set up, testing a retesting the light, using loops to focus the upside down reverse view.  Film by The Impossible Project. Freaking cool. Shout to A&A Studios for supplying access to the camera and film.
