October 2025

Highlight of the month was a visit to Olney Gallery at Trinity Cathedral to view the photography of Cyd Peroni from her series titled Even the Poles Move.
My favorite was Magnetic North 113.

Cyd Peroni's Website: Three Figs Villa

September 2025

The political world in the U.S. continues its crazy spiral.

I spent the last week of August in Japan at the Awagami Papermaking Workshop making washi paper from kozo fibers. It's a quite laborious process, but veru rewarding once you make the finished paper. At the workshop we also learned Japanese-style bookbinding and indigo and sekkazome dyeing. It was quite an experience and one I highly recommend.

See some photos of the workshop on the right.

August 2025 is continuing the summer heat with Extreme Heat Warnings and daytime temperatures in the 38-48C (100-118F) range; nighttime temperatures in the 24-35C (76-95F) range.

But it's a dry heat.

This will be a good month to stay inside and update this website's under construction pages.

This page will be updated on a monthly basis with items I find of interest that may or may not have anything to do with any of the other pages of this site. Stay tuned for more to come.
