Letters from Katherine: Violet is no spring chicken
Katherine wants you to know that she can do psychedelic effects with the best of ’em, although she still likes black and white best. (We are all having way too much fun with Photoshop.) Meet Violet. No spring chicken, she—just a Halloween hen. Definitely related posts: Babs got dig-effects. Also bears. Or wolves. Howling. Gerry’s got […]

The movies are coming! The movies are coming!
October 4, 2008
Since Michigan has recently positioned itself as an extremely favorable location for film production, Hollywood has come calling. Imagine how movies will change: pine trees instead of palm trees, timberframe log mansions instead of pink stucco palaces, Ford F-350s instead of Porsches . . . real Midwestern accents.

Letters from Katherine in black and white
October 4, 2008
While I’ve been playing around turning perfectly respectable fall mushrooms into psychedelic art (and obsessing about broadband) Katherine Berst has been making elegant, restrained images. Looky here: She sent another one, too, but I’m saving that for later in the week.

Well, according to the FCC, 99% of the nation has broadband. If you live in northern Michigan you know that’s nonsense. Here’s where the phony information comes from. If even […]

A question of access
October 3, 2008
The most striking feature of Torch Lake Township is all that blue, blue water to the east and the west of us. It’s a magnet for tourism, development, and seasonal homeowners. Everyone wants to play on it or in it, to walk along it, to just look at it endlessly. Getting to it is the […]
Gerry’s got dig-effects too
October 2, 2008
I took weekend visitors on a little hike at Barnes Park, where we found a lovely yellow autumn mushroom—a little chewed upon, to be sure, but still attractive. I can relate. Fiddling with the photo software to see if I could get the mushroom to look as sunny on your screen as it did on […]
