On to a new series...and despite the beginning, it is about an abandoned place: a house in north Georgia that has been empty since the '70s. I don't have all my film back yet from the inside of this place, so I'll just start with the outside first. This is also the introduction of a new camera, a Pentax 67. So far, I really like it.

Camera: Pentax 67 with 105mm lens using Fuji PRO160S film

News: I am showing photos the month of May at Inman Perk in Atlanta as part of a group show. Here is a copy of the show card.

Song of the day: "The Beast and Dragon, Adored" by Spoon

Poem of the day:
"'Farewell to barn and stack and tree,
Farewell to Severn shore.
Terence, look your last at me,
For I come home no more.

'The sun burns on the half-mown hill,
By now the blood is dried;
And Maurice amongst the hay lies still
And my knife is in his side.

'My mother thinks us long away;
'Tis time the field were mown.
She had two sons at rising day,
To-night she'll be alone.

'And here's a bloody hand to shake,
And oh, man, here's good-bye;
We'll sweat no more on scythe and rake,
My bloody hands and I.

'I wish you strength to bring you pride,
And a love to keep you clean,
And I wish you luck, come Lammastide,
At racing on the green.

'Long for me the rick will wait,
And long will wait the fold,
And long will stand the empty plate,
And dinner will be cold.' "
- A. E. Housman, "Farewell to Barn and Stack and Tree"
