This was a found photograph/installation/mixed media series I created in March of 2015, that I recently revisited (and re-edited, hence reposting in its new glory).
In the summer of 2014 I found a family photo album at a park sale that belonged to the summer of 1969. A family from Springfield, Missouri's photos and memories had somehow made it's way to my hands in Toronto.
Eventually I used the photographs to create this series in which I investigated the ephemera of the human existence and the glorification of memory. I crystalized the photographs in a physical solvent, as well as crystallizing some items that felt like tangible representations of memory. My series is a desperate plea to make the memory of these humans I never knew last forever, whilst also creating a new life for them.

Springfield is the capital of the U.S. state of Illinois and the county seat and largest city of Sangamon County. The city's population was 116,250 at the 2010 U.S. Census, which makes it the state's sixth most-populous city, the second largest outside of the Chicago metropolitan area (after Rockford), and the largest in central Illinois. As of 2019, the city's population was estimated to have decreased to 114,230, with just over 211,700 residents living in the Springfield Metropolitan Statistical Area, which includes Sangamon County and the adjacent Menard County.
Present-day Springfield was settled by European Americans in the late 1810s, around the time Illinois became a state. The most famous historic resident was Abraham Lincoln, who lived in Springfield from 1837 until 1861, when he went to the White House as President. Major tourist attractions include multiple sites connected with Lincoln including his presidential library and museum, his home, and his tomb at Oak Ridge Cemetery.
The city lies in a valley and plain near the Sangamon River. Lake Springfield, a large artificial lake owned by the City Water, Light & Power company (CWLP), supplies the city with recreation and drinking water. Weather is fairly typical for middle latitude locations, with four distinct seasons, including, hot summers and cold winters. Spring and summer weather is like that of most midwestern cities; severe thunderstorms may occur. Tornadoes hit the Springfield area in 1957 and 2006.
The city has a mayor–council form of government and governs the Capital Township. The government of the state of Illinois is based in Springfield. State government institutions include the Illinois General Assembly, the Illinois Supreme Court and the Office of the Governor of Illinois. There are three public and three private high schools in Springfield. Public schools in Springfield are operated by District No. 186. Springfield's economy is dominated by government jobs, plus the related lobbyists and firms that deal with the state and county governments and justice system, and health care and medicine.
Traveled to Boston to attend baby sister’s graduation from Springfield College. While there I did a mini photo shoot with her to celebrate her accomplishment and was able to get a little sightseeing in as well.
Encoder added today.
New Counter Weight is done - works well. Old head knocker gone.
OTA adapter plate addad
Amici prism removed, 99% diagonal assembly to be used for correct image.
..
Calibrated encoder (marked "2048"=wrong). Measured about 3.09:1 gear ratio. Brass gear =96 tooth. Encoder setting of 25344 ticks is correct, derived from a deduced large gear = 297 tooth. 297/96*2048*4= 25344 (last week's measurement from setting circles gave 25369)
. changed encoders on 6/8/10
(297 / 96) * 4000 = 12375 for DEC (3.09375*4000)
4 * 2048 = 8192 for RA

Looks like a really really old gas station that was converted into a used car lot. Along Main St. (old U.S. 41 and 431) south of the town square in Springfield, TN. Has hand-painted slogans all around the front. (see my notes for what they say.)
UPDATE: I believe this old gas station has now been torn down. It did look like it was in bad shape back in 2008.
Loosely (and I mean loosely) based on the Springfield M1903 bolt action. Basically went from actually being an M1903 to becoming it's own WWII style rifle.
Here's the pastie if anyone wants I suppose: pastebin.com/eUcJ63UE

The old Springfield Bridge, along Cadron Creek on the border of Faulkner and Conway Counties. The bridge was built in 1874, and is the oldest standing vehicular bridge in the state of Arkansas. But considering its current state, there's no telling how much longer the old bridge will be standing. The wooden beams are severely rotten in places, which makes it a bit hazardous to try to walk across.
The bridge is located northwest of Conway, Arkansas.
I'm late for Veteran's Day but I found this archive shot from last December, experimenting with the Rokinon 12 mm wide angle lens. I used PS's distortion correction to make it look less curved.
The Springfield Military Cemetery was established 1867. There were 1521 initial interments, of which 832 were known and 689 were unknown. Many remains came from the Battle of Wilson's Creek some 10 miles to the south and six years prior. Wilson's Creek was the first Civil War battle west of the Mississippi River. This view is to the north, a view to the south from the same place reveals a portion for Confederate soldiers that was added in 1871.
