Untitled #7

Found near road in the bottom of the ditch in the spring, must have been under the snow all winter.

Thrift Store Camera

I found a disposable camera at the Salvation Army and got the thing developed! I think the one of the couple is cute. I imagine they picked up the camera and took a selfie! There is a weird one that looks like a finger or.. something else…

Spooky the Window

From a roll of 1950s film developed this year. This is the only photo that came out, even a little bit.

Can’t Find the Exit

In this photo, I think I see toilet paper, tables, a hardhat and an exit sign. Must have been some party.

Ventura Carbon Copy

This picture was found in a dusty old trunk and was accompanied a letter that was postmarked … Continued

I’ll Meet You at the Cemetery Gates

Lake View Cemetery is one of the most beautiful cemeteries in Cleveland– it has such wonderful art throughout. People like President James Garfield, Eliot Ness and John D. Rockefeller are buried there. My favorite memorial is the angel that sits near the Haserot family plot (). I was just visiting there this weekend when I … Continued
