I knew the mama deer had to have had twins, because a couple of times I’ve found identical, side-by-side indentations in my flower beds, where she’s been stashing them. This was the first time I’d actually seen them, though.

Rain!
It actually rained! Never mind that there was almost a tornado, too. WE GOT RAIN!
Instax Mini Experiments
Instax Mini photos
Altered Instax Mini photo
I’ve been playing around with the Instax Mini camera. I’d been looking at small format, instant print technology (mainly Instax and ZINK) and decided to go with Instax. I love being able to use the dud photos by altering them and incorporating them into collage work. Instax is similar to Polaroid but slightly different. Polaroid is exposed from the front and Instax from the back, meaning that the white layer that is outermost on a Polaroid is innermost on an Instax. After disassembling and scraping down a test photo, I can say that Instax photos are far sturdier than Polaroid. They’re harder to disassemble and harder to scrape the emulsion from. The end result is also somewhat different, I think, in that I really like the way the altered photo looks from the back, once the layers of emulsion are scoured away.

Abstract
Skeletonized Sassafras Leaves
The top one reminds me of three pyramids or sand dunes under the sun.
Art Journals
Years ago my old journals were destroyed in one of my many moves. If they hadn’t been, this pile would be about three times the size it is now.
Seed Pods
This was taken on the bike path, when I was walking back from the post office.
Washi Tape
I’m not normally one for bright, cutesy stuff, but I may have a slight washi tape problem nonetheless.
Sputnik Cufflink
I found a cufflink in my button stash, depicting Sputnik and a rocket.
Sunrise
This morning started off well.
Comet Storm
Walking to work, I passed a patch of sidewalk covered in stains from fallen walnuts. They looked like little comets, so I took a photo then inverted the image to make a digital negative. Et voila, a comet storm. The lines in the pavement even mimic the horizontal lines across early satellite images of Earth.
