Check out this hoard I dug out of a semi-toxic industrial dump a few weeks back.

If anyone knows what the metal thing is, or anything about the pyramid etched on that ceramic cone - LMK.
.
Also attached a diagram for you orderly treasure hunters - AND - a picture of me with the C-Scope IB100 my Dad bought in the ‘70s.

Still works.

BETTER HOMES, 2020.
.
I'll be the first to admit that I've become rather unraveled from being stuck at home for this long. Attempting to process scenarios of the future. The uncertainty. So I made some art.
.
This series of photographs was created to mirror a project I asked my students to work on titled 'The Library of Ordinary Objects'. So far, they have produced remarkable work with only being able to work in two spaces - inside their house, and outside their house. .
I put a little box together of 'bits' - similar in scale and that had some meaning. I would figure out how to photograph these 'bits' to be my library. Looking for a background, I found this magazine 'Better Homes' from 1971 in my basement. 201 Time-tested recipes with a free bottle of Prell shampoo. The photography of the food is great, but the copy writing had to have been written by a legend.
.
So, I did this project with little thought (not surprised) other than the bits and magazine. I'd open up the magazine at a random page take some of bits, lay them out and then take the picture. If I started to think into what I was doing the combo didn't feel right or work in a way that other ones did. I just placed bits on the page and then nudged them about - but that was it.
.
Here's the list of titles:
01. Prell Ad, spoon, ice pick
02. Cobb Salad with Chewbacca, fanta lid, praying hands
03. Vegetable Classics with Queen Elizabeth II, foot, paintbrush
04. Man-Sized Sandwiches with pencil, post, pepsi, key, pickle fork
05. Red Devil with C-3PO, boing, squirt
06. Plump Crusty with McDonald's ash try, buttons, vampire teeth
07. Shimmering Super Salad with guitar pick, 4, oyster shell, coke
08. Raspberry Bomb with battery, button, soldier, vampire teeth
09. Velvet Smooth Lemon with Atari air freshener, spoon, lid
10. Great Looking Hair with E.T, earring and C-3PO
.
I noticed a lot more food pictures I really like so I'll probably have another go at it.
.
DM me if you'd like buy one. Look great in the kitchen.

Special thx to @fuckadvertisements for inspiration and @jerrysaltz for his book How To Be An Artist. Keeping me going.

Digital infrared Christmas Trees! What next?
.
Tuckamony Farm is one of the oldest family-run Christmas tree farms in the country.
Even if you have your tree sorted out there’s a pop-up shop (open weekends 'til Dec 22nd 10-5) with some awesome gifts by:
@laurenjohnsonart
@mayfield_at_1000autumns
@bodiechewning
@folkcityroasters .
What I have learned.
Underexpose the digital infrared by a stop or two.
Use a split tone filter on the lens.
Don’t bother to process, or over-process the image.
.
The blue images at the end are the intermediate step from digital capture to final channel swapped image.
Weird. So that’s what happens on the way.

I’m going to work on this batch a bit more. But this is a first go at processing for now.

Thanks @artworkstrenton - Jolly Good.

Well I’m not anymore - look at this. This infrared camera is a portal for gnome spotting.
