The composite photo Ganado Storm that I produced while at an artist residency at the Hubbell Trading Post National Historic Site is now part of a National Park Service Centennial Exhibit at Hot Springs National Park in Arkansas. Tom Hill of the Hot Springs National Park sent me this photo of the exhibit. (Ganado Storm is on the left.)

I used parts of many photos taken at the Hubbell Trading Post to create Ganado Storm in the style of a Navajo storm blanket. You can see the image up close and read about how I created it here.

If you happen to be in the area (Barbara and Elmer!) you can see the exhibit at the Ozark Bath House (the former home of the Museum of Contemporary Art).

These staircases around the outside of storage tanks (in this case an oil tank) always attract my attention when driving by. This shot is somewhat interesting, but pales in comparison to the one below that I took nine years ago. With that as my benchmark, I rarely stop to photograph them as the results have always been underwhelming by comparison. But I occasionally give it a try because you never know!

This is the jammed-up business end of the typewriter in the POTD from three days ago. I think the way the mechanics work is that the circular carriage of arms rotates when you press a letter on the keyboard to line that particular arm up with the paper. That’s a lot of movement between keystrokes. It seems like it would take a lot of effort to rotate the carriage by pressing a key and I can’t imagine being able to type very fast on this machine. Still, I’d probably be faster on it than I am trying to type an email on my smart phone with my thumbs.
