Point Pleasant with my dearest dear cousins

John, Lynn, Caitlyn, Alexandra and Luke.  We spent the day at the shore.  The kids rode the rides, played games and we ate ice cream, pizza and Mexican food. 
Don't let the palm trees fool you - we're in New Jersey!





Vacation with the family in New Jersey

Valves

Here's some more valve prints.








I can't decide if I like this print horizontal or vertical.


Fotoplayer Valves

This print was inspired from a picture Vince took for the Academy's archives of some valves in a Fotoplayer from 1912.  V's been photographing the restoration of this Fotoplayer over the past year.


I just found this clip of Joe (the restorer) playing the Fotoplayer - check it out, it's really fun:

I made several copies of this print and now I'm collaging it.  I'll put the finished piece up once it's done.
