Yesterday Hannah was struck by an idea and ten minutes later, BOOM! We had the Scout Book mini.

CUTE, right?

This little guy is still in the development stage, but we're working to roll it out as a micro publishing format soon.

A little book for big ideas.

What would you do with an itty-bitty pocket sized book?

Haha that wall of rectangles haha.

You can see exactly where the old building ends and the modern preservation begins, and that line is drawn beautifully in this frame. Right in front of you is this heavy, layered wall of rough, red brick and crumbling grey mortar, broken open like a wound in the building’s side. The brickwork is jagged and uneven, showing you the raw, functional guts of the structure—the stuff that was never meant to be seen, just built to hold everything up.

But just to the left, you've got an entirely different story. A smooth, pale stone column with a beautifully carved, flared capital rises up to support an intact Romanesque archway. The arch still carries its original painted borders—that faded terracotta trim and the geometric, meandering patterns that run along the curve. It's delicate and intentional, a world away from the rough masonry sitting right next to it.

And if you look past the column, you can see deep into the adjoining room. There's warm track lighting, polished floors, and clean white walls. It’s a reminder that this isn't just a ruined shell; it's a preserved heritage space where the past and the present have been allowed to sit right next to each other, exposed and honest.

A richly detailed mosaic ceiling vault curves overhead, its surface covered in intricate scrollwork, floral rosettes, and a Greek key border rendered in warm ochre, coral, sage green, and cream tones. At the center of the composition, a golden urn rises from an ornate cartouche flanked by symmetrical acanthus scrolls and blooming flowers, drawing the eye upward along the graceful line of the arch. Two dark archways frame the base of the vault, hinting at the grand scale of the room beyond. The sheer density of pattern, geometric borders, classical motifs, and painterly shading, speaks to the level of craftsmanship poured into every inch of the ceiling.

I chose to photograph some common objects for this week's Macro Monday's theme of "What is it?" Most of these objects are found in your home--with the possible exception of one or two of them. Have fun guessing! I will post the answers in this area on Tuesday.

Yes, it is a band-aid!

Chicago's skyline still keeps a few thousand of these scattered across its rooftops, wooden water tanks perched on steel legs, most installed decades before anyone worried about curtain-wall aesthetics. Building codes once required them for fire suppression, and enough owners never bothered tearing them down once modern plumbing made them obsolete. This one's stayed put on a low brick warehouse roof, weathered to a deep charcoal, its staved barrel construction and spindly cross-braced legs looking almost handmade against everything glass and steel around it.

Behind it, two very different towers make the case for how fast the skyline keeps changing: a blue-glass high-rise with the flat, repetitive grid of an eighties curtain wall, and beside it a newer residential tower wearing its diagonal steel bracing right on the surface, structure as ornament instead of something hidden. The water tank sits at the hinge point between all three eras — old brick industry below, glass office tower to the left, exposed-structure condo tower to the right.

It's a small, stubborn survivor, doing no functional work anymore but still shaping the skyline's texture from above.

It is a dwelling, per the Allen County Assessor.

blogged today on burrs & berries

hated by some because of the connotations of governmental mismanagenent, corruption and greed. almost all of us really hate the intrusion of these galvanised, assembled steel structures. alien like, scattered across the surface of the earth. scarring the landscape, 'an ugly necessity' someone said: energy needed, wanted by the people and that life supporting necessity exploited by others

reminds me of the meccano set i was given as a child. there's beauty within these gentle soulless giants

under the silver coloured structure, positioning, to find almost perfect symmetry. on my back, at peace, in some strange space. hum of the electrical current overhead, wind howling, aluminium cables slightly swaying

then i get up and realise people are staring at me

The plan of the tombs is an open courtyard surrounded by chambers that contained one or more burials.

These limestone tombs, are painted to simulate alabaster and marble.

They are decorated with multi-colored geometric patterns and fine fresco ornaments.

The tombs at Anfushi, date back to the third century BC, about 250 BC, with the late Ptolemaic and early Roman eras.

I don't really like the beige bricks very much but I love the brown bricks a lot.
