Photography. Maybe other stuff? We'll see.
This week's #52Frames #photography challenge was "Architecture". I happened to go to the City Museum, St. Louis' "all-age architecture playground" on Monday which seemed like a good spot to take this week's picture. Here's a couple of kids checking out the museum's 10 story tall slide.

This week's #52Frames #Photography challenge was black and white minimalism. My minimalist description of this picture is that it is of a leaf.

This week's #52frames #photography challenge was "Show Us Your Toys"- showing off the tools or gear associated with one of your hobbies. I decided to photograph my #racquetball equipment, which came together Voltron-like to form Mr. Racquetball!

This week's #52frames #photography challenge was "Your Worst Nightmare". I opted to take it in a less serious direction and capture the nightmare that is having to use some of my limited free time to do the frickin' laundry. For more serious nightmares, just look around at the world.

This week's #52frames #photography challenge was to shoot a "centered composition". I spent a good part of my week driving through the Land of Lincoln, so I decided to use this litt;e bust of Abraham Lincoln as the subject of my photo.

This week's #52frames #photography challenge was to take a picture where the shadow was the main focus. I've also included a picture of the object casting the shadow.

This week's #52Frames #photography challenge theme was "Time". I took a picture of a handless clock on a nearby building. I shot it in black and white and turned out the contrast and shadows in editing hoping to give it an eerie "Twilight Zone"-esque vibe.

This week's #52frames #photography challenge was "Texture"- taking a picture that captures the tactile feeling of an object. The object I chose was a piece of tin ceiling tile that covers up the opening to my non-functional fireplace.

This week's #52frames #photography challenge is "soundtrack"- choosing a song and taking a photo that matches it's vibe. This photo was inspired by Steve Goodman's "The City of New Orleans" (although the train I took from was the Lincoln Service, not the City of New Orleans.

This week's #52Frames #photography challenge was to shoot a piucture using only "One Light Source". I chose the fridge light in my kitchen.

This week's #52Frames #photography challenge was to take a picture of something that is "Out of Place". I decide to make a literal representation of the baseball idiom "a can of corn".

One of my favorite things about reading Sarah Kendzior is that she often makes me more interested in bits of culture I was only vaguely familiar with before. A few weeks ago it was "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre", today it's Antonin Dvorak.
This piece is also heartachingly beautiful.

New article! A lot happened this week, so I wrote about how Antonin Dvorak wrote his greatest works in Spillville, Iowa in the summer of 1893.
And about saying goodbye: sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/dvorak-liv...

"The Last American Road Trip" by @sarahkendzior.bsky.social is one of the best books I've read in a long time. Essential reading for trying to understand America today. I gave it to both my dad and my sister as birthday presents!

This week's #52Frames #photography challenge was to "Shoot From Above"- taking an elevated perspective looking down towards the photo subject. I looked down to the ground and photographed some tree shadows at Tower Grove Park.

This week's #52Frames #Photography challenge was "Reflections". This photo was taken during the post-sunset blue hour at Tower Grove Park in St. Louis. I love the contrasting shades of blue and the way the trees and their reflections frame the whole thing.

This week's #52frames #photography challenge was to take a "low key" photo with more dark than light in the frame. I decided to use minimal lighting to make the side door of my house look a little more mysterious than it normally does.

This week's #52Frames #photography challenge theme was "abandoned". I My picture is of the door number of an old mixed-use building two blocks from my house that I think would look so cool if it was restored. I literally once had a dream about a friend of mine turning it into an arcade.

This week's #52Frames #Photography challenge was to try Macro photography- using an extreme close up to capture details you couldn't see with the naked eye. My subject was a purple coneflower in my neighborhood.

This week's #52Frames #photography challenge was to explore color temparture and white balance to bring out the feeling of the scene. I tried to capture the gentle warmth of actually pleasant summer morning in St. Louis in this picture of my bedroom ceiling.

This week's #52Frames #Photography was to break the usual use of composition and take a photo with an "Unusual Crop". The subject of my photo is a bobblehead doll of St. Louis Cardinals mascot Fredbird dressed as Marty McFly from "Back to the Future".

This week's #52Frames #photography challenge theme was "Something New". My picture is of me practicing a very new hobby- drumming! It probably doesn't sound that great, but I think it looks pretty cool.

This week's #52Frames #Photography challenge was to shoot a photo "In the Style of" a visual artist who inspires you. I took my inspiration from David Michael Kennedy's photos for Bruce Springsteen's "Nebraska" album. I used a Springsteen poster as my subject since I don't know The Boss.

This's weeks's #52Frames #photography challenge theme was "frame within a frame". I used the arched wall of one of the picnic pavilions in Tower Grove Park to frame a picnic table and the setting sun behind it.
