Well, Festival of 24 Things is almost over. Come celebrate leap days and the end of the show on Friday, Feb 29th, 7-10pm.

There will be snacks and drinks. Come early if you don’t want to get stuck with the Canadian beer, or the least favourite tootsie roll candies.

Also, I will be posting the top secret not-safe-for-work-or- ten-year-olds controversial #15 photograph from mister Stu Kaufman, if you need some incentive to come see the show one last time.

I have started a flickr group for all participants to post their images.

Terrified of telephones and shopping malls and knives, and drowning in the pools of other’s lives

i’m not sure what my next book will be about. i have a lot of archived stuff to figure out. maybe it’s time to construct the houses in your neighbourhood photo book. it would  work as an accordion, even though accordion is my least favourite binding. could also get something finished in the car/family tree project. i think those two would work nicely in a series, but then i’ve gotta come up with some others. maybe the avatar thing, done well.

i’ve got — work to do —

Yep.

(And if you haven’t entered Festival of 24 Things yet, there is still time. CVS can handle one hour prints like nobody’s biznis. Four spots left. Git-r-done.)
