Posts not written

Since going on hiatus last month I've thought about all the posts that I could've written but didn't. I'm pleased to announce that I've now collected the best of these non-posts in a short book called Posts Not Written. I'd offer it for sale but the truth is I haven't yet written it. Despite that I've chosen the cover, lifted from yet another book I didn't write.
Blog posts not written in the past month
So many things left to not write about. I don't know where I'll find the time to avoid writing them. As for when or if B will resume, you already know the answer. What does the little voice inside say? That's right, listen to the voices in your head. You should do what they say even if it doesn't quite make sense yet.

The Idles of March

I'm putting the blog in dry dock for a little while so I can devote time to some long-simmering personal projects. Things should resume in a week or two, or maybe longer, and with barnacles removed. In the meantime, I hope you'll enjoy this headlight.

Happy Leap Day

What Eggleston thinks I do

Color balance: Amarillo

Here are some postcards I've recently created.







And here's how I described them in my submission to The Postcard Collective.

I have produced a series of postcards documenting landmarks of my hometown of Eugene, Oregon. Eugene is blessed with a wide variety of architecture, some beautiful and some horrible. My cards make no distinction. They document the city democratically, selecting viewpoints that I feel best represent what it feels like to live here. The photos are all recent but I've given the cards a historic look through careful selection of typeface and color balance. They have the look of a card you might find in a highway service station in 1975, and indeed part of my project is to conduct clandestine distribution of the cards in local postcard racks in gas stations and tourist centers. The project pays homage to Shore's Amarillo series and also to the great American postcards of the 60s and 70s.

Each card is 4 x 6, produced by combining a drugstore C-print with individually captioned adhesive postcard template.
