restoration: C.I.B. cannonfire
Before/after of an old print of the Concord Independent Battery that my grandfather gave me to fix up. He's in there somewhere. Apparently it's grandparent week here at the PGR.
I feel there is something unintentionally hilarious about this photo, but I just can't put my finger on it.

The Mansion Show 2
Consider the above monstrosity your invitation to the second annual Mansion Show, at the Beebe Estate in Melrose on June 5, 2009.
Join my fellow mostly-broke art school alumni and me for an evening of prime art-lookin' (and purchasin'...?). Your eyes will feast on boatloads of painting, photography, sculpture, and all other sorts of artistic alchemy. Your tastebuds will be treated to free food, beer and wine. And your hands will be treated to some super sweet hi-fives, courtesy of me. We've doubled the amount of artists this year, which in turn will double the amount of fun had by all in attendance.
As Chris mentions, I've gone from 8-bit to 16-bit on these invitation flyers.

blue profile
I just found this picture, which has been sitting on my computer, overlooked, for years. It's pretty neat, I don't know how I never noticed it before.

Highlander series: bedpost & bureau
Recently my friend Joshe gave me an old Polaroid Highlander Model 80 camera he found while moving. It was made in the 50's, and is still in perfect condition. As a bonus, it also came with all sorts of instructional pamphlets, featuring shockingly sexist lines like "It's so easy to operate, women use it with pleasure!" Way to go, post-war America!
They stopped making film for this camera almost 50 years ago, but this came with a stack of prints that came out of it, clearly back in the 50's. Whoa. The hair. The dresses. What were people thinking?
I'll be posting a bunch of the pictures here, and I'll start off with this one because it was the first print on top of the stack. I imagine the camera's owner had just taken it out of the box moments before, loaded it up, and snapped off this test shot. I doubt he (or she! Remember, this camera is so simple even a woman can operate it!) was really thinking about framing, but the shooter really made something interesting out of a boring scene.

2002 vs. 2008
From the disposable camera that wouldn't die that I mentioned yesterday. About six years between these photos.

Joe and a guitar
I bought a disposable camera in 2002, and just got it developed last week. Looking through the prints, I'd estimate I took six pictures around the time I got it, two pictures about a year later, forgot I had it for the next four years or so, found it last summer and took six more pictures, and found it again last week and finished off the remaining four shots. This one is from the early end of the decade.
