some tuesday a couple weeks ago

I tried to document everyplace I went one Tuesday. I forgot a bunch of places, but here it is:

catching up

Tiffany waking up in New York

I uploaded pictures from my canon A590 and remembered all the fun things that have happened to me in the past fortnight. Here's a sampling:

Dan all grimacing
Dan called a few days before and asked if I wanted to go skiing. New skis, new boots, hell yes! The sun was shining and the snow was white. The favorite trail that day was "Stump Jumper" on the south mountain. We ran it over a half dozen times.

I've been struggling in the Image and Object class at GCC. The premise in the curriculum is to combine photography and image-making with 3 dimensional sculpture or found objects or something. This was one false start to the spew of ideas pouring out of this oxymoron.

2/15-16/10
I already posted about visiting Tiara and Athea in New York around my birthday. Here's some highlights
Blurry with David and Gigi They gave us a short video performance in their studio. Check it out.

Ugly buildings, Chelsea

Sycamore trees on Argyle St, Brooklyn.
There's a lot we saw and a lot we missed. That's a big city, New York. You sure could store a lot of hay in those buildings.

Buckets in the basementIn a big old house like this you don't need to go far to find fun stuff to photograph. I'd say you don't even need to leave this house to find a life-time of things to photograph. But don't tell anyone I said that.

Sometimes I get bored looking around trying to find something to take a picture of

22 Severance StOn the back burner sits a projected I'm calling the Neighborhood Project. The idea is simple and the execution is time-consuming. I hope to bring it to fruition by the middle of the summer.

That's it for now. I will try to keep abreast with events as they happen, but no promises. For now,

i am busy busy busy. but looking at this i like to think of something i read on Tiffany's cousin's facebook:

'bored...just thinking'

posting

more like once a month. But Friday is blog post day, so maybe i can catch up in the next few months. Friday is also withdraw cash for the week day and chose an item to post on ebay day.

plans for the weekend:

- put together t-shirt printing project for Tuesday
- rest
- catch up in school

I'm sure that I have a million other things boiling on the "to do" list, but those three are front and center. Let's see if I can find a picture from our trip to New York.

skiing monday

This Monday I went skiing at Berkshire East, aka the B-East. I was looking for Justin all morning and finally found him on the beginner slope slamming his ass and face into the mountain. I didn't get a video of that, but I did get a video going down "Big Chief."This is the winter of skiing for me. So don't be surprised if I post more snowy videos.

Another New Year, Another Video

This year we started the year with a dip in the Deerfield River. A tradition of the Polar Bear Club. My father started a slightly more extreme version some years ago. Extreme in that a running river is colder and more dangerous than ocean water. After he died, the swim became a sort of memorial to him. Speaking of memorials, this past year we sent out letters to friends and family asking for donations to the James Arthur(is that spelled right?) Salem Endowment, for the American Indian College Fund. As of last count we've raised $19,639, which means we did it! I'll get back with more details, but my understanding is that each year the fund will provide a small piece of cash to a American Indian attending college.

Anyhow, here's the video:

new years resolution

Okay, took a while to get the video to load.

One of my resolutions is to make 52 blog posts this year. And, dear reader, though you may want a little more, I'm making this a short one. For quantity has a quality all it's own. From Christmas celebration Greory's Throrp's email, edited:
