I knew it was just a matter of time before I bought an iPad although I thought it would be a bit more time, like maybe a year so I could get version two. At the same time that I’ve learned about the technical intricacies of computers I’ve gotten the most out of them when [...]

Warren, Connecticut. I used to collect these things but then when I lost one to TSA just after 9/11 I stopped. No hard feelings, just can’t always remember to leave these things at home. Note the various one handed knives, the thin French fruit testing knife and the black Kershaw with the Damascus (folded steel) [...]

Warren, Connecticut. I was inspired by Carlo so decided to do a "pocket dump" of things I carry daily. For every "thing" you see here there are numerous others that I bought and tried and put in a drawer because I don’t like them. I have a bunch of watches, a bunch of wallets, numerous [...]

Warren, Connecticut. I decided to rent a Canon 1D Mark III for a week just to see what it’s like to shoot with a "serious" pro camera. I knew it was big but for crying out loud, the thing is BIG. However, in about ten minutes it feels great in one’s hands. Setting it up [...]

Lens Culture has a collection of photographs by Andrzej Kramarz: Rzeczy (Things). Collecting things is the first part of the process, after that there are many possibilities for using them in artwork.

maraid has an incredible collection of scanned and photographed Japanese matchbox labels and other ephemera in her flickr collection. It’s incredible to browse through it and makes me want to get started scanning and photographing my own collection of matchbook covers and ephemera. A great winter project.

Carrot Paper Warren, Connecticut. I’ve been collecting handmade paper for many years now and recently I found some amazing paper made out of cross sections of thinly sliced vegetables and fruit. This is very thin and translucent paper with the consistency of parchment and I’m totally in love with the patterns and colors it makes [...]

Warren, Connecticut. I don’t know about you but I have jars, cans, and boxes of old nuts, bolts, and "junk" like this in my basement that I’ve both inherited from the pack rat we bought our house from and which I’ve collected over many years. I promised my wife that this is going to be [...]
