Land of the Free

Evidence of residence in forgotten corners. The homeless aren't just holding begging signs at freeway offramps.

Hm, the start of a new series, methinks.

Sepia Martian Puzzler

I probably read too much science fiction. Be that as it may, I find myself quite often wondering what an errant Martian would make of our hijinks here on Earth.

Case in point, as Rod Serling would say, this photo. A select audience (you know who you are) will know exactly what to make of this, to say nothing of recognizing the subjects. The rest of you Martians, good luck.

WAG WAG WOOF WOOF SNEEZE GROWL OWOOOOO

Tele Visions

In the 1980s I sort of weirdly inherited an old color TV from my grandmother's cousin. Aside from finally enjoying my own color TV at the advanced age of 30 or so, I enjoyed playing with the color, brightness, and contrast controls: something that is a lot harder to do nowadays digitally. And then with my old Pentax I could effect multiple exposures by rewinding. Here are a few hypersurreal images that resulted.
