Waterlogged Olympians and Huey Lewis Shoes at 13th and Kimball
Spotted on the corner of 13th Street and Kimball in South Philadelphia – a hardback semi-autobiography of Michael Phelps and a two-tone shoe that was probably the height of fashion in the 1980s.

Washington’s Old Headquarters
This is another photo John Capewell shot during a trip to Richmond Virginia. The sign by the door reads WASHINGTON’S OLD HEADQUARTERS although Washington never actually maintained a headquarters there. In chasing down information on the place, I discovered it … Continue reading

My Friend Trish
When my son began elementary school eight years ago, he came home with a flyer – the Home & School Association were looking for volunteers for a bake sale. I figured, I like to bake – sign me up! It … Continue reading
The Folks Out Back
Some of the glass negatives shot by John B. Capewell are in terrific shape with crisp, sharp images that reproduce beautifully while others are somewhat worse for wear. This is one of the latter sadly. It’s a little blurry which … Continue reading
Snowstorm Peanut Butter Cookies
Last week we found ourselves with twelve more inches of the white stuff and two snow days. We shoveled, played board games, watched movies, and made peanut butter cookies. There’s something very comforting about peanut butter cookies when you’re having … Continue reading

Henry & Young John in Younger Days
I’ve been running photographs of John Capewell’s sons recently, and I decided to step back a little further in the past when the Capewell boys were toddlers. Here the boys wear stern, somewhat anxious expressions. My guess is that their … Continue reading
