Junkstock – Clifton Paint 31
The word for the day is simplicity. And Junkstock captures the idea behind that word extremely well with this photo. This image, while containing almost nothing – a few flakes of paint peeling from a worn wall – manages to still present us with age, time, history, a feeling of ancientness. The simple and sparse…

Russian color photography ca. 1910
Now here is something truly amazing. The Boston Globe reports on a set of color photos of the Russian empire from around 1910. How did this happen, you ask?

Thanks to my friend Paul, I came across this set of photographs from the early 40’s. They’re in color! These images show us a time when there was no internet, no television, no X-box or Wii, and definitely no cell phones. And yet, these people manage to get along just fine. You can see a…

Winter 1980
I remember it like it was yesterday. My Grandparents on my Dad’s side from Georgia were visiting. It’s the only time it happened. I never saw my grandparents anywhere other than Hazelhurst, GA. Except for this one time, in the winter of 1980. The winter that it snowed over a foot. I remember hearing that…
