"American Ace, Universal Match"

The first of two I will share completed right before we left Seattle. We started packing in May of 2017, and I do believe this one and the next got caught up in a box to be shipped before they could be showcased here ("showcased"). Not to worry - making up for lost time, it hangs in our house in San Francisco now.

"Serious Gents Only"

I did a series of these crosses in 2012, and the majority of them appeared in these pages in 2014. But, unpacking after our move back to San Francisco, I found one that had not been dated or titled. Rather than have you miss out on its majesty, I present it to you now.

First Posts in Four Months

Apparently if you don't have a job for nearly a year, you have plenty of time for a variety of things - driving across the country twice, for example, and posting regularly to your blog. I see now the last time I posted here was four months ago, from Pittsburgh, as I caught up on some of the last New York photographs I wanted to post. But now, having returned to San Francisco, and setting up on Myrtle Street again while simultaneously going back to work 40 hours/week; well, it slows a boy down, I don't mind saying. Happy to have a moment to get caught up and share a few things from the past and then from very recently - look for those later today. Going forward I hope to keep it up more regularly than I have.
