Cellphone progression, Anya Noneman, August 2010
I took this series of pictures with Anya on my lap. Original pictures were not square, but the general composition is the same, even cropped. She was a little wiggly, and I was holding the camera off to my right where I couldn’t see the viewscreen. So my aim got progressively worse as I kept [...]
Joe’s Gold has been stationing sign-holders all around the south end of Elkhart pushing a gold-buying business. Most of these poor folks are (apparently) required to wear stifling costumes such as bunny suits, bear suits and the like. Whoever Joe is, he’s the employer from Hell. This is the first Joe’s guy I’ve seen who [...]
Beau Jest in rehearsal at Elkhart Civic Theatre
Beau Jest is the 2010-2011 season opener at Elkhart Civic Theatre, Elkhart, IN. The comedy opens two weeks from this posting. This is a preview video with cast interviews I put together last night for the theatre. More info on the show at the ECT website Share and Enjoy:
This building has been part of Elkhart’s landscape for over 100 years. It used to have an onion-shaped cupola on the top, but like many of these, it was removed at some point, either by man or deterioration or bad weather. The archway has always been the interesting feature for me. Share and Enjoy:
The Elkhart County 4H Fair is one of the largest county fairs in the country — I’ve heard that it’s second largest but I can’t verify that. In Indiana, I’m told that the biggest event, in terms of attendance, is the Indiana State Fair, followed by the Indianapolis 500, followed by, you guessed it, the [...]
I “interviewed” my dad, Dr. A.C. Dufour today at his lake cottage. The session is in two parts above. I am hoping we can do some more later. Dad was a veterinarian for 60 years. It was a profession he loved. When I was growing up, I always enjoyed the fact that my dad [...]
Lately I’ve been working on some things for my client, the Ruthmere Foundation, which bought the Havilah Beardsley House in Elkhart a few years ago. It’s now being restored as a historic landmark. This particular Beardsley, in case you didn’t know, is the guy who bought the original Elkhart land from the local Indians and [...]

This is actually a video frame, but I like the shot — the off balanced-ness of it, and the woman in the background who seems to be looking at whatever Demarée is looking at. Click to see the image larger. Share and Enjoy:

I found this barn on CR 9 in Elkhart County, just south of CR 126. It’s the Bigler farm — there are a lot of Biglers in the area, so I can’t say which one. The face on the side is mostly obscured from the road by tree leaves. I feel sure I’ve seen this [...]
This is a little bank of signs you’ll see when you get off the Indiana Toll Road at the Elkhart East Exit. We obviously know what these symbols mean, but they’re not unique. They don’t really tell us anything about Elkhart, only what’s available in the vicinity of these signs, and in which direction we’ll [...]

I thought this oil dispenser setup was kind of interesting in the Drive & Shine quick lube bay, so I took a phone picture and then tweaked the color and look of it. (Click the picture to enlarge it.) Share and Enjoy:
A sorta blurry shot put through the Holga-izer in Photoshop now looks like I MEANT for it too look that way. Share and Enjoy:
