Coulda sworn there was a Tumblr or Blogger account dedicated to the topic, because there was a period in the late '00s when these were frequently circulating.

One dollar

A long-exposure color photograph, showing a man (in shirt, tie, black hat, and gray pants) sitting in the middle of three shiny upholstered chairs on top of a set of stands where his feet are propped, while a ghostly blurred figure works on his shoes.

"With this early daguerreotype in mind, I traveled across New York City and asked people of different professions how long it takes them to earn one dollar. I then used their responses to calculate the exposure time for their respective portraits."

A dollar's worth of time from the lives of a sex worker, a pastor, a city council member, a butcher, a union organizer, a dry cleaner, and more, at the link. #photography

INTERIOR - JJ ARCHITECTS - 1968 - SUBURBAN CINCINNATI

Two actors. Greg, the lead architect is across the table from Ricky, the client.

Greg, takes a long drag from his cigarette. He pauses in contemplation. Camera slowly pans down to reveal an overflowing ashtray with 7 butts. Greg's hand comes into frame and smashes the 8th one in.

CUT TO:

CLOSEUP - GREG'S FACE

GREG has a puzzled, almost pained look on his face.

CUT TO:

CEILING

Camera pauses on the glare of an fluorescent overhead light. An audible buzz increases in volume.

CUT TO:

CLOSEUP - RICKY'S FACE

RICKY:

"and...yes...I think that's it!"

CUT TO:

CLOSEUP - GREG'S FACE

GREG let's out a long sigh.

Pauses.

Squints.

GREG:

"Wait...you want the what located where?"

DO STEP

Bronze sculpture of Barak and Michelle Obama, from the Obama Presidential 'Library' site. I can not find the artist for the sculpture, or if this is even at the Obama site. Of course, everyone is getting huffy about the whole thing, of course they are. (F*heads at NYT.)

This is a fine, 3D portrait of these two. Their grace, and dynamic natures, on full display, the gestural quality of their gait, the hand holding, as a portrait for all time, it is superb. The images were leaked, apparently for hate fuel.

Double Arrow Lookout

L-4 style forest service fire lookout (14x14) on a 20 foot tower. Rough, rocky ground in the foreground, with shorter evergreen trees in the near distance. The sky has moody storm clouds that brought more than an inch of rain in the last 24 hours.

Double Arrow Lookout on the Lolo National Forest near Seeley Lake, MT. This is my first of four for lookouts I have rented for the summer. You can drive right up to this one vs having to hike in, although the road is pretty dodgy. I'm still sick, so climbing up 34 stairs felt like A LOT. Turns out I have bronchitis that's maybe getting better now, maybe not? Anyhow, it was a pretty cool deal being up on a mountain top.

Oh hahahaha ! . . . one summer in my early twenties some friends and I went on a "lookout road trip" and at the time I was desperately in love with someone who barely knew I existed so in heartsick despondence I buried a certain R.E.M. lyric on a scrap of waterproof paper under fire lookouts all over the North American west as one of those things you do when you're that age I guess. This was one of the 1st ones we visited - because of Norman Maclean, natch - so somewhere in the ground in the photo there must be the mouldering remains of said lyric (if it even still exists). Oh Youth ahahahaha!

Animation of a middle aged man riding a skateboard in a suburban parking lot. He is not moving all that fast.
I haven't skated, really, since I was 17. Last month I picked up my kid's unused longboard and have started relearning how. It is great. (Two years of weekly yoga practice has improved my balance significantly, that has made it a lot more fun.)

I'm not looking to do any tricks of any kind, just happy to carve a little.

Midlife crisis are underrated. Get out there an feel something again.

I was a roller skater in my youth. Before rollerblades, even. Wore many a toe stop to the nub. Anyway, I briefly considered lacing up my skates again recently as my granddaughters have taken it up, but then I remembered that my aunt broke BOTH her wrists in a fall skating at about my age and had to have her mother (my grandmother) come live with her for a month to help with things like WIPING HER BUTT and I came to my senses pretty quickly.

It is a cartoon of a hungry fly being enticed towards a Rafflesia, an Asarum, and an Amorphophallus by a putrid mix of sulfide compounds that smell like rotting carrion and poop. SEVERAL cartoon poops are featured.
