House Behind The Trees

Posted on May 16, 2013 by Joe_Williams

house-behingd-the-trees-detHere’s another photo shot by John Capewell that doesn’t give the viewer much to go on as far as place or time. My guess is that it is a house in Westville, New Jersey where Capewell and his family resided.

Buttermilk Waffles with Rhubarb Compote

WafflesRhubarb

I have industrial wire shelves in my kitchen to hold the things my cabinets can’t – large canisters of flour and sugar, a classic diner covered cake stand, stacks of folded cloth napkins, a 70′s harvest gold stand mixer from Sears gifted to me by my father-in-law, and tin boxes crammed with my collection of cookie cutters and cupcake papers. I did a little rearranging this week to designate a place of honor for my waffle iron, my theory being if it’s out in the open, we’ll have waffles for breakfast more often. On Sunday, I made buttermilk waffles with a rhubarb compote – they were so good! It’s given me incentive for future experimentation with different kinds of waffles – whole wheat, pumpkin, blueberry, savory waffles with herbs and cheese – waffles for dinner – this could get interesting… Continue reading →

You Are What You Eat!

Posted on May 9, 2013 by Joe_Williams

you-are-what-you-eatIn keeping with our farm theme, I have John Capewell’s unintended sequel to last week’s post of butchered hogs. It appears that Capewell took two exposures of the pigs and left the second plate in the camera when he shot this family portrait resulting in this bizarre double exposure.

13th Street Circa 1982

Posted on May 8, 2013 by Joe_Williams

Full-Moon-detThis is another picture I shot back when I was in art school in the early 1980s. Illustration majors were required to take a pricey photography course. As a sophomore, I didn’t know my ass from my elbow so I shot a bunch pretentious crap and what I thought would get me through the class. The more interesting shots had nothing to do with the classroom assignments. I took them to simply finish off a roll for processing. I would take pictures of the big bad city of Philadelphia and places close to the campus of what once was the Philadelphia College of Art.

Strawberry Rhubarb Apple Pie

RhubarbApplePie

I had planned for a lazy Sunday – a load of laundry, a little time in the studio, a walk around the neighborhood with my camera. My game plan drastically changed when I discovered that one of the vendors on 9th Street had rhubarb. Around these parts, rhubarb has a short window of availability, so when I find it – I stock up and make pie! Continue reading →

Last week, I was summoned back into the classroom by my son’s teacher for help with a project for Mother’s Day. I thought it would be fun to faux finish jewelry boxes with the kids, and the results were spectacular! Continue reading →
