I've been playing with my camera a bit again...

I would love any information on this first photo. I have scoured the internet to no avail! HA!

This striking smokestack/chimney sits about 15 feet to the West of Hwy 61 North of Vicksburg, South of Redwood, in an area noted on the map as Blakely, Mississippi.

Less than 15 feet to the West of the smokestack is a railroad that apparently belongs to the Vicksburg Southern Railroad Co.

There are no Historical markers, or any other indications of what this might have been. It is the only structure there.


Also in our ramblings included a trip to Windsor Ruins.
I love this place. It is absolutely striking.
I hope you enjoy my photos.

I'll give Wordless Wednesday a try...

Foster-Smith Cabin Linocut















This is a test print for the linocut I worked on this weekend.
This is #3 in a series of linocuts of Brookhaven, Mississippi landmarks.
Each plate in the series will measure 2 inches x 2 5/8ths inches.

How I am feeling lately...

#mailart 2 project

#mailart 2 is off and running and I am thrilled to be part of it!
Twitter's #mailart project is the brainchild of Mark Philip Venema and you can read more about it on his blog, here:
http://markphilipvenema.wordpress.com/2009/06/10/second-mailart-group/

The theme for this round of #mailart is Time and Being Human and I have been brainstorming for the project. Even though I can't share the images until after they have reached their future owners I can share some of my brainstorming.
I've been trying to focus on different concepts of what time can mean in my day to day life, what time can feel like, how it functions day to day...
These are some of the ideas brewing. Many of them may become #mailart, others will fall by the wayside.

I am excited to see how these ideas come to fruition and will share them with you when the project runs its course.
Hope you enjoy!
