A happily-betrothed, non-violent, counter-dominant, left-liberal, independent, vulgar, possibly charismatic, not entirely insufferable, quasi anarcho-libertarian Quaker daddy who is rather full of himself shares his self-righteous take on parenthood, photography, politics and other esoterica.

I'd Prefer To Be Out And About, Thank You

I realized I hadn't eaten anything all day and that my cupboard was bare, so I got a respite from scrivening.  Mom always admonished me to not shop so much at Steeple Market in Fairfax because it is pricier than a big store.  Alas, I rarely took her advice, mostly because I'm constitutionally incapable of planning ahead.


Why not shoot the Intersection while in town?


I liked the contrast of a Century Award house, Coke van and fiber optics on the pole.


Not especially exciting, I guess, but the combo of colors and textures struck me as I drove past.


Paging Tom Sawyer...


Another Century Award house across the street and up a little from the Intersection.

It might be another century before I get all caught up with my work...

i love these photographs. you frame things a lot like the way i do. i especially like the white picket fence and the overlapping matrices of tree branches above it. there's just a harmony and a resonance to that composition that appeals to me. your judicious use of color in compositions is also striking - the red roof at the vanishing point of the first photo, the red car balanced against the blue sky in the second, the red building against the green grass in the third, the little spray of orange shrubbery against the white fence in the fourth, the yellow centerline punctuating the gray expanse of the hardtop in the fifth. really excellent stuff. the architecture and landscape of the place you live seems so brooding and melancholy in a lovely way, so american. now i want to grab my camera and shoot some pictures myself.
