why i make photographs

as a pleasure

as a practice

as a meditation

as an homage

for my sanity

for my delight

because i must

because i have to

to teach from

to learn from

to look at

to remember

Alternate Lincolns

This pair of Lincoln bookends came from a tag sale in Connecticut, the home of an old man who had collected Civil War memorabilia. Obviously, they were made  from two different molds, and one had been dropped at one time. Like many fraternal twins, they are very different from each other.
