A few pictures:

Seeing Writing Where There’s No Writing

September 17, 2010 by Ken

There must be a neurological condition where the sufferer thinks that he sees writing even in meaningless patterns, kind of an opposite to alexia.

I sat on the high-speed train from Hefei to Shanghai and stared at the fabric pattern on the back of the seat before me for several minutes, convinced that the grid was filled with Chinese characters that I was on the verge of recognizing.

When Dice-K Pitches Well

September 3, 2010 by Ken

When Dice-K pitches really well — which is happening more often lately — he turns into the Ace version of himself, or Dace-K.

Dace K

That almost happened tonight. So close. Here’s hoping that we see more of Dace-K.

Lisa’s New Show

August 31, 2010 by Ken

My wife Lisa’s new solo exhibition at the Griffin Museum of Photography’s Aberjona River Gallery starts next Thursday (September 9th).

September 9 – November 7, 20109
Opening October 5, 2010 6 – 7:30

She’ll give a talk on the show at the Griffin’s Senior Sunday on October 17th at 3 PM. Free and open to the public.

COWBOYS features some of my favorite works by her. As you can see, they are not like what you think of as “photographs” exactly.
