It’s been a busy week here in quarantine-land! Jakob (my son, now a 9th grader) is in a one-week mini-course exploring experimental photography. Since we’re
Apologies for this being a little rambling and unfocused – this has been sitting in my queue since 2016! Time to pull together the details
In the last few days I’ve gotten two questions about printing on glass. What a fantastic coincidence! It must mean it’s time to write about
