The next chapter in my portfolio is an extensive collection of sepia monotone photos taken throughout South Africa, the continuation of taking photographs anywhere and everywhere I find the opportunity to do so.
In this photograph, which is similar to one by John Warwick Brooke, soldiers are shown digging a trench, viewed between strands of barbed wire. The men have only dug to about knee level and are very exposed, so it seems probable that they were not within sight of enemy trenches. Nearer the front line, trench digging was done under cover of night.
Barbed wire was used by both sides as a deterrent to slow an enemy attack as it approached the front of the trenches. It had been invented in 1873 in America as cattle fencing, but its nickname there seems even more apt to its use in warfare. It was called 'The Devil's Rope'.

1989 - South of Phu Tai women digging up an old ammunition dump to recovery the brass. Sadly a few days after this photo was taken 3 were killed and a number injured.
isn't that what it's about?
to remind us we're alive
to remind us we're not blind
in that big, black hole
comfortable
digging the grave, I got it made
let something in, or throw something out?
you left the door open wide
i know you have a reason why
that knot is better left untied
i just went and undid mine
it takes some time
and the shadows so big
it takes the sun out of the day
(faith no more)
so i have way too much time on my hands and not enough inspiration to actually do anything productive with it. i just got laid off my job but i'll be okay at least for another two months without one. not to say i won't be looking, but i'm just waiting for the right opportunity instead of throwing myself into whatever i can find. (unless, of course, i have to)
besides. i can't help but laugh at the fact i got fired by a man in a kilt on st. patty's day. i mean, how many people can claim that? haha.

Crazy sign - Worm Digging not allowed. I never thought about worm digging in a overgrown paddock anyway.
Char uses an actual digging device to poke around in the area where we expect our time capsule to be buried.
Progress after first (partial) day of digging.
Installing a rain garden at the bungalow. First step: dig out ~9 inches of soil in the ~100 sq ft garden bed. 6 inches of that will be replaced (with compost + soil, then a layer of mulch).
In June 1984 I participated as a voluteer on a dinosaur dig in South Dakota sponsored by the South Dakota School of Mines. After the dark brown bones were exposed, they were impregnated with a glue solution and then coated with white plaster jackets to protect them before being lifted out of the ground. Most of the fossils we found were the long leg bones (11 of them) from at least 6 individual hadrosaur (duckbilled) dinosaurs. We also came up with a vertebra or two from a triceratops and a tooth from a meat eater. Still not sure what kind of a depositional environment this was since we had moslty large heavy bones and no whole skeletons, but the matrix was just silty clay - no rocks or gravel.
