"Please Try Changing Channels"

Yeah, thanks for that suggestion. I wasn't sure what to do.

Natalie Schafer

The great Natalie Schafer, who you probably know from Gilligan's Island, was on a great 1954 episode of the Ronald Howard Sherlock Holmes TV series. Was watching it the other night and was moved to snap her picture off the monitor.

Blurry Transmission #5962-86H

A misfired attempt to take a picture off the TV. I no longer even remember what it was, which only adds to the value of it, says I.

It'll Take Time To Get Back To Where I Was!

I once had an entire "art" blog devoted to random photos taken off the TV screen, with cryptic captions. Thank God for us all that I quickly got bored of it.

Statement of Purpose

When I was a kid I lived in a very old farmhouse that had in its bathroom a slot to drop used razor blades into. "But where do they go?" I wondered.

I went down to the basement and found a hidden room, walled up. I found a small hole in the wall and with some work, I managed to gouge it much bigger, enough to shine a flashlight into and peer in. It contained, as you might expect, a mountain of rusty razor blades.

That's pretty much how I see this blog.

I take photographs all day, every day, 24-7. Most end up unseen and unused. This blog will be my slot in the wall, into which I drop some of them and then forget about them.
