Amanda, O.

One of the reasons I took this photo was because my good friend, Amanda, would like this collection of signs gathered around her name. Signage like this cluster in Amanda, Ohio can be seen in towns all over America. It is a cultural artifact of our time and place. This signage, in many ways, reflects so much about America - religion, business, education - stuff we take for granted even as we vigorously defend it.

The Painters

On a recent trip to Lake Wyola, near Amherst, Massachusetts, I caught these men painting a local church. Their white shirts, the silver ladders, and the white paint contrasts the green doors and windows. Their positioning reminds me of musical notes.
