From: William Longyear, "Type Specimens for Layout Printing Lettering. New York, Watson-Guptill, 1940.
or Love of Alphabet, Letter Love, Love Letter? What do you think I should call this picture I made? It’s gouache on watercolor paper. The size is 50 x 65 cm. There is no frame that has those measurements… it's a bugger! So now I have to order a customized frame, and they are extremely expensive.
But I have learn my lesson so next time I will double check the standard measurements on frames before I throw my self into creativity ;-)
Would you consider buying a poster like this? (With the right measurements of course and a reasonable price!)
I’m thinking of order some prints of this alphabet picture.
It’s not a first-class photo, I wanted to scan it but it wouldn’t fit in my little scanner ;-)
I will take some photos when I have framed it and its up on the wall.

Tower Motel in lovely Santa Rosa, New Mexico. The top portion of the sign has been replaced with something far less interesting than neon so it didn't make the cut.

If you built a webpage, then you've built a webpage. You are completely invisible unless you make your visible. There is a ton of internet noise out there and it's your job to stand out from the crowd.
This is Richard N. Stephenson at sidewages.com.
[The following is a transcript of the introduction video.]
Now I am going to cover some of the myths of a website and why it's needed and all of that jizz-jazz. I will be doing these as vlogs and then leveraging it out into all kinds of different things.
So if I blank out, it's probably because I am trying to be safe. But all of this is setup nicely so I don't have to touch it. And I've done it before and it works out pretty nicely. Don't try this at home kids unless you're a trained professional or something like that.
I'm probably going to split this up over 10 different videos for whatever purpose so I will use this next part as the general intro.
Here are the Top 10 Myths of Having a Website in a Business, brought to you by sidewages.com and Richard Stephenson.
Okay, here we go:
MYTH # 1: IF YOU BUILD IT THEY WILL COME
MYTH # 2: A WEBSITE IS ONLY A BUSINESS TOOL
MYTH # 3: DESIGN IS EVERYTHING
MYTH # 4: MORE VISITS = MORE SALES
MYTH # 5: WEBSITES ONLY NEED IMAGES & TEXT
MYTH # 6: JUST COPY YOUR COMPETITORS
MYTH # 7: WEBSITES SELL THEMSELVES
MYTH # 8: WEBSITES CAN'T TRACK SALES DATA
MYTH # 9: NEWSLETTERS ARE JUST A FORMALITY
MYTH #10: WEBSITES NEED TO BE PERFECT

Stuttgart (Swabian: Schduagert) is the capital and largest city of the German state of Baden-Württemberg. Stuttgart is located on the Neckar river in a fertile valley known locally as the "Stuttgart Cauldron." It lies an hour from the Swabian Jura and the Black Forest. Its urban area has a population of 609,219, making it the sixth largest city in Germany. 2.7 million people live in the city's administrative region and another 5.3 million people in its metropolitan area, making it the fourth largest metropolitan area in Germany. The city and metropolitan area are consistently ranked among the top 20 European metropolitan areas by GDP; Mercer listed Stuttgart as 21st on its 2015 list of cities by quality of living, innovation agency 2thinknow ranked the city 24th globally out of 442 cities and the Globalization and World Cities Research Network ranked the city as a Beta-status world city in their 2014 survey.
Since the 6th millennium BC, the Stuttgart area has been an important agricultural area and has been host to a number of cultures seeking to utilize the rich soil of the Neckar valley. The Roman Empire conquered the area in 83 AD and built a massive castrum near Bad Cannstatt, making it the most important regional centre for several centuries. Stuttgart's roots were truly laid in the 10th century with its founding by Liudolf, Duke of Swabia, as a stud farm for his warhorses. Initially overshadowed by nearby Cannstatt, the town grew steadily and was granted a charter in 1320. The fortunes of Stuttgart turned with those of the House of Württemberg, and they made it the capital of their county, duchy, and kingdom from the 15th century to 1918. Stuttgart prospered despite setbacks in the Thirty Years' War and devastating air raids by the Allies on the city and its automobile production during World War II. However, by 1952, the city had bounced back and it became the major economic, industrial, tourism and publishing centre it is today.
Stuttgart is also a transport junction, and possesses the sixth-largest airport in Germany. Several major companies are headquartered in Stuttgart, including Porsche, Bosch, Mercedes-Benz, Daimler AG, and Dinkelacker.
Stuttgart is unusual in the scheme of German cities. It is spread across a variety of hills (some of them covered in vineyards), valleys (especially around the Neckar river and the Stuttgart basin) and parks. This often surprises visitors who associate the city with its reputation as the "cradle of the automobile". The city's tourism slogan is "Stuttgart offers more". Under current plans to improve transport links to the international infrastructure (as part of the Stuttgart 21 project), the city unveiled a new logo and slogan in March 2008 describing itself as "Das neue Herz Europas" ("The new Heart of Europe"). For business, it describes itself as "Where business meets the future". In July 2010, Stuttgart unveiled a new city logo, designed to entice more business people to stay in the city and enjoy breaks in the area.
Stuttgart is a city with a high number of immigrants. According to Dorling Kindersley's Eyewitness Travel Guide to Germany, "In the city of Stuttgart, every third inhabitant is a foreigner." 40% of Stuttgart's residents, and 64% of the population below the age of five, are of immigrant background.

In 1977, S.E. Nichols began adding 20,000 square foot Home Improvement Centers to most of their Discount City stores. They were sometimes in an addition to the building, vacant neighboring space in the shopping centers they were in or existing space in the larger stores. The Home Centers had a separate entrance but were also part of the main store. The Maple Shade NJ Nichols store had its Home Center open in December 1978.

This was on the back of this 1913 picture of my grandfather. Unfortunately, while several people in my family speak Greek, none of them can read it. I'm posting this here hoping to get a translation. See also here. If anyone reading this can translate it, please let me know!
Update: yanni writes:
I don't think this is your papou writing, when he's a baby on the picture.
It is "like if" your papou (Georgios K. Kardakis) is writing this but it's definately another person (his mother?).
On the picture, around his head, you can read "Christos Anesti"..a greeting the Greeks use during Easter.
You probably know that Greeks celebrated their namedays sometimes more than their birthdays. In the first lines the text is a greeting and a wish for your papou's dad (your grand-grandfather) nameday. "For the purpose of your nameday, I wish you, my daddy, many happy years."
(During Easter, the names "Paskalis, Lambros, Anestis, Anastasios and Georgios" are celebrated).
Then the text goes on like: "I, your son Georgios K. Kardakis, kiss your right hand. My daddy, who you are not in Greece and left me as a small child. Now when you'll come back, you'll find a young man."
In the middle upper square: "Come back, my dad".
On the right there is a nice poem, they probably said for those who left Greece. I try to pass the meaning through as good as I can: "My beautiful swallows and doves...if you find my daddy, tell him a few words...tell him that I am handsome, tell him that I grew up...tell him that I'm not used to the trouble he left me."
I couldn't make out all of the words, but the meaning was more or less this. I hope it was helpful.
I'm very indebted to yanni for his translation. It appears that my great-grandfather came over a few years before my great-grandmother and grandfather; I had not known that before. I guess also he originally planned to go back to Greece; that didn't end up happening (my grandfather never went back after he came here at the age of 6).

“It is seeing which establishes our place in the surrounding world; we explain that world with words, but words can never undo the fact that we are surrounded by it. The relation between what we see and what we know is never settled."
“The past is the one thing we are not prisoners of. We can do with the past exactly what we wish. What we can't do is to change its consequences.”
“History always constitutes the relation between a present and its past. Consequently fear of the present leads to mystification of the past”
“The poverty of our century is unlike that of any other. It is not, as poverty was before, the result of natural scarcity, but of a set of priorities imposed upon the rest of the world by the rich. Consequently, the modern poor are not pitied...but written off as trash.”
“Oil painting did to appearances what capital did to social relations. It reduced everything to the equality of objects. Everything became exchangeable because everything became a commodity.”
“To remain innocent may also be. to remain ignorant.”
John Berger's word live on, relevant in our troubled times, both poignant and urgent.

Matt Lief Anderson interviewed me for the 4th episode of his photography podcast the Pow Wow Project.
If you're a hardcore photography nerd, one of my 2 parents, or my wife, you'll probably really enjoy this. Otherwise it's just 55 minutes of me talking really fast and trying hard to be clever, and mostly failing.
Big thanks to Matt for putting this project together and taking time to sit down with me.
