- Log Cabin, Spring, 2008
- Sadly, the roof deteriorated over the fall and winter and is now gone. I', not sure if the roof is simply being replaced and the cabin refurbished or it is being torn down. I plan to go out this weekend and see if there has been any change.

- Residual Memory
- The is a reflection on Family history. Things get passed on from generation to generation, new objects are added to the collection and some objects are separated fropm the collection... lost, stolen, distributed at a death or to a new baby...
All these things "meant something" to someone but the meaning to one person is lost to the next but a new meaning is added by that person.
The whole has a different meaning and value than each item and to one person the meaning and value is different....
Objects represent the original owner less than they represent the person who gave them to the present owner, and they represent the current owner differently than they do the giver.
Some of these objects are very old, some newer but they represent in whole and in part a life.... 50 plus years of personal history exist in this pile of objects but there is also 100 plus years of family history; the history of a number of families, as well; and well over 100 years of cultural history tied to the objects, too.
In a way, as well, these objects represent other objects lost, stolen, and passed along; as well as the collections of things they came from individually...

- Odds and ends...
When I was growing up, I spent a lot of time looking down. Mostly, it was shyness. I was always told that I should look up -- that it didn't do one good to spend all the time looking at the ground.
However, looking down has a real advantage (other, of course, that avoiding people staring at you) and that is that you find "stuff". Quite apart from having fund a lot of money this way, I find bits of jewelery, broken pieces of pottery, marbles, beads, driftwood... the flotsam and jetsam of other peoples' lives.
Of the things I find, some regularly found objects are: marbles, religious medallions, animal teeth, porcelain drawer pulls, and (on one particular beach) shards from old clay pipes and arrow heads. I have a whole box of the latter.
When I lived in New York City, the beach on the end of our street provided great finds on a daily basis. There, amongst the medical waste, I found porcelain doll heads; shards of recognizable 18th and 19th century pottery; beach glass, including decanter tops; and porcelain drawer pulls. There were also many unidentifiable but intriguing stone and wood objects.
My advice is "Always look down!"
