We got a deer, but it is all ground. So I am experimenting to see if it will cook well without adding other meat or fat. Tried venison hamburgers and they were great with a little butter added in. It is very lean meat.

"Love's Cable. Handed in at Cupid's Court. No code book is needed for these cables, true love deciphers them. St. Valentine. Bow and Arrow Avenue, Feb. 14. To my valentine, I cable to say, I am yours today, my heart is true, my love to you. If the accuracy of this message be doubted, it will gladly be confirmed on payment of twenty kisses."
This folded Valentine's Day greeting was a parody of a "cablegram" (often shortened to "cable"), which was a message transmitted over the submarine communications cables that were laid across the Atlantic Ocean and elsewhere as early as the 1850s.
So why would you need to use a code book to send a cablegram? Author Frank C. McClelland described how these worked in the following excerpt from his book, Office Training and Standards (Chicago: A. W. Shaw, 1919), p. 49:
How to use a code book. Firms with foreign connections or correspondents also find use for a cable-code book which helps greatly to cut down the expense of cable messages by shortening the number of words required to convey the message. A code book is simply a directory of code words arranged alphabetically, each word being the code for a certain phrase. For example, the word "Dardejante" may stand for "Draft has been presented for payment." and the word "Daricus" may stand for "Draft is correct; please pay." Nearly every kind of message is given in a code book.
Suppose we desired to send a cablegram to London reading "Merritt Brothers draft has been presented for payment for two hundred dollars Shall we pay for your account?" If we did not use a code book the cablegram would contain 18 words in addition to the name, address, and signature, which might bring the number of words up to 27. At 31 cents a word, the cablegram would cost $8.37. By using code words we would get this result: "(name) (address) Merritt Brothers Dardejante Morderesti Genageld (signature)," making only eight words, which would cost only $2.48, a saving of $5.89.
"Newspaper Rock," the main panel at this well-known site. The petroglyphs here were carved into Wingate Sandstone at differnt times by Native Americans of at least three distinct cultural groups, the Ancestral Pueblans (Anasazi), Fremont peoples and the Ute. This rock art spans more than a thousand years. The site was heavily vandalized over many decades and has been restored, conributing to the sharpeness and contrast of these images.

I took these pictures on a sunny day while I walked with my Mamiya C330 around Mitte, showing the city to a few friends. This is my first professional medium format camera, and I love the images it captures.

Petty Project Image #021 "Indian"
Model: Tiffinie
Here's another entry into the Petty Project (done back in 2011) with Tiffinie and a rather iconic Indian pinup from the 1940s. These Petty Project recreations take many hours to put together and require a lot of concentration which is the reason they take so long. This Petty Girl recreation, featuring Tiffinie, was shot with over 60 different images in early 2011. Probably one of the hardest Petty images that I'd done at the time! I kept tweaking the final image, and experimenting with new methods of making the photo look 'airbrushed'. The post-studio process took quite some time to piece the image together, but the end result is pretty close with some exceptions. While it did take a long time to piece together, thankfully for once I didn't have to recreate and heavily modify the outfit to get it to match as Tiffinie actually created the Indian outfit from scratch, saving me hours of work! So while it was a pretty complicated photoshop project for this one, the final product was very satisfying with a lot of hard work on both myself and Tiffinie's end! What is the Petty Project? The project started as an idea in 2008 to honor the well known Pinup artist of the 1930s through the 1950s; George Petty. Inventor of the famed 'Petty Girl,' Petty's works were popular in the 1930s-1940s issues and calendars of Esquire magazine which inspired hundreds of Nose Art pinups on aircraft during World War 2. Petty's style embodied the classic essence of the pinup and catapulted the art-form into a national sensation and symbol. To honor Petty's work, the idea came about to recreate the classic Petty Girls through studio photography & computer manipulation to bring new awareness to this forgotten style...

京都 / 三十三間堂 通し矢
Cupid’s Span, the monumental bow-and-arrow sculpture by Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen, anchors Rincon Park with a playful wink to San Francisco’s romantic soul. Set along the Embarcadero’s lush waterfront, the oversized fiberglass-and-steel artwork arcs into the skyline, its crimson arrow seemingly fired from across the bay. The modern towers of SoMa rise behind it, a mix of glass grids and bold geometries that frame the sculpture’s dramatic curves. This surreal, larger-than-life love letter sits among palm trees and wildflowers, inviting locals and visitors alike to pause, smile, and fall for the city all over again.
Description: As the Smithsonian’s first photographer, Thomas Smillie used images to catalog the much of the institution’s physical object collection, ranging from stuffed animals to plant fossils, decorative boxes, and beyond. The photographs themselves are now part of the Smithsonian’s collection.
Creator/Photographer: Thomas Smillie
Birth Date: 1843
Death Date: 1917
Born in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1843, Thomas William Smillie immigrated to the United States with his family when he five years old. After studying chemistry and medicine at Georgetown University, he took a job as a photographer at the Smithsonian Institution, where he stayed for nearly fifty years until his death in 1917. Smillie’s duties and accomplishments at the Smithsonian were vast: he documented important events and research trips, photographed the museum’s installations and specimens, created reproductions for use as printing illustrations, performed chemical experiments for Smithsonian scientific researchers, and later acted as the head and curator of the photography lab. Smillie’s documentation of each Smithsonian exhibition and installation resulted in an informal record of all of the institution’s art and artifacts. In 1913 Smillie mounted an exhibition on the history of photography to showcase the remarkable advancements that had been made in the field but which he feared had already been forgotten.
Medium: Cyanotype
Dimensions: 7.9" x 5.2"
Geography: U.S.A.
Date:1890
Collection: Record Unit 95- Thomas Smillie served as the first official photographer for the Smithsonian Institution from 1870 until his death in 1917. As head of the photography lab as well as its custodian, he was responsible for photographing all of the exhibits, objects, and expeditions, leaving an informal record of early Smithsonian collections.

William Henry Dethlef Koerner (1878-1938) is renowned as one of the master illustrators of the American West along with the likes of Frederic Remington and Charles M. Russell. Koerner's illustrations are known for their bold brushwork and vibrant color palette; the two come together to support his vigorous and honest depictions of the 'Great American West'.
A prolific and versatile artist-illustrator, 'Big Bill' Koerner's work gained considerable visibility through his cover and story illustrations for the Saturday Evening Post, Ladies' Home Journal, Harper's, McClure's and Redbook.
WHD Koerner passed away in 1938, at the age of 59 from a cerebral hemorrhage. At the time of his death, the artist had received commissions for over 500 paintings and completed drawings for more than 200 western-themed stories. His studio, which still remains intact, can be viewed at the Buffalo Bill Historical Center's Whitney Museum of Western Art in Cody, Wyoming.

One of a series of post-war folder leaflets issued by London Transport Advertising and designed by Pieter Byl using graphic design and typographical elements to produce a varying range of treatments. LT has always made significant income from advertising on stations, vehicles and other sites and these promotional brochures give details of the various options available to advertisers along with basic costs. They would have been a simpler supplement to the expensively produced fulll advertising rates book produced!
This leaflet is, using a bow, arrow and target, for the circular adverts known as 'targets' that were available on the rear offside staircase panels of buses, both Central and Country Areas, and trolleybuses.
The bus shown here, HLX 142, was a 1948 RT-type bus, bonnet number RT 325, that saw only a decade of service in London before being sold on and it went to South Africa and the City of East London's fleet until being scrapped in 1971.
"Roberts & Co., leading clothiers, 'glass front,' 797 Broad St., Newark, N.J. Copyright 1883 by J. H. Bufford's Sons."
A winged Cupid, who's wearing a shirt but no pants, waits patiently as two women use needles and thread to mend a gigantic pair of pants. Although pants seem to be an appropriate item to feature in an advertising trade card for a clothing store like Roberts & Co. (whose glass store front was apparently a selling point), I'm not sure why they're so huge or how Cupid is going to wear them. Perhaps this is just a silly scene intended to amuse the children who would paste cards like this in their scrapbooks in the late nineteenth century.

On top of everything else going on, my computer decided not to boot. Luckily a friend dropped by with a notebook so I can leave this message. Life's a constant test. Hopefully, the Geek Squad can fix me tomorrow.
A lot going on these days in the Bush family. Apologies for not visiting but other priorities have taken over. Will certainly do my best to visit whenever I get a chance.

And pain is in my heart
Around me lies a somber scene
I don’t know where to start
But I feel warmth on my skin
The stars have all aligned
The wind has blown but now I know
That tomorrow will be kinder
Today's airbrushed style pinup photo features Crystal in this Robin Hood themed pinup! "O, Robin of the hood whose face was never seen; Stole treasures of silver and gold, and took from the mighty and wealthy 'tis true; But to give to the poor and the old. The villagers say Robin ran free and wild, Finding food for all good child, And Robin's deeds were as true as the arrows that flew, In Nottingham long time ago." - Poem by Barbara Paxson.
