The Clothesline Project
The Clothesline Project is a program started on Cape Cod, MA, in 1990 to address the issue of violence against women. It is a vehicle for women affected by violence to express their emotions by decorating a shirt. They then hang the shirt on a clothesline to be viewed by others as testimony to the problem of violence against women.
There’s been a CLP display on the NSCC campus for the past few days. I stopped by yesterday after class and took a few photos. Every time I see this, I’m struck by the heartbreaking and uplifting power of the stories represented by these shirts. Incredible things to see.
I’ve also created a Flickr CLP Project group, as a tag search led me to quite a few other photos of CLP displays around the country.
Happy Valentine’s Day
Okay, so this is going up a bit late in the day, but that’s just how it goes sometimes. We took the pictures before heading out the door to school this morning, this is just when I got a chance to get them uploaded.
Hope everyone’s V-Day (or anti-V-Day, depending on how you look at this particular holiday) was a good one!
Christmas in Alaska
It took a few days, but the photos from our trip up to Anchorage to visit my parents are finally up.
I’ve also added three of the shots from the trip to the header image rotation. At this rate, I’m going to be very winter and snow biased…I’ll have to add some more spring and summertime shots in a few months!
Happy Holidays from Me, Prairie…and Flickr
A bit of silliness on Flickr these days: if you add a note that says simply ‘ho ho ho hat’ to a photo, Flickr will add a Santa hat to the photo where the note is placed.
There’s a few people getting up in arms about the ‘defacement’ of their photos, but if you decide you don’t like this, you can simply delete the note. I see it as a harmless bit of holiday silliness.
And I like harmless silliness.
Snowy Evening
A small selection of photos from an evening walk last night, after Seattle got an unusually heavy snowfall.
Happy Halloween

About to be published…
I’ve been holding off on saying anything about this just in case something fell through, but since I got the check in the mail today, I figure it’s worth letting the cat out of the bag…
…the freakin’ New Yorker just purchased one of my photos to use in an ‘advertorial’ for the MGM Grand casino for $250!
The photo will be part of a spread in the Nov. 27th issue of the magazine.
Too cool!
