I’m putting together a photography show for a new venue (excited!) and whenever I do this, I inevitably end up finding some really funny old photos, such as this photo I took with a cameraphone in a craft store in North Palm Beach, Florida.

Dear Jessie Hirsch,
Armed robbery on Brooklyn and 50th. Two armed suspects heading south to
Campus Parkway. Stay alert
I’m still on the mailing list for the University of Washington alert service. This is a recent innovation– I think it was implemented last year, but [...]
You should probably buy this photograph! It is awesome!

But I am inviting you to enjoy a moment of Beauty by gazing at this lovely free background that my sharp-as-a-tack friend Ballookey created. Check [...]

I was just looking up a comic from “My New Filing Technique is Unstoppable” for school (don’t ask), and I couldn’t believe how funny it still is. I mean, seriously funny.
That dates from 11/26/02! I don’t think the Internet even existed then! No wonder they’re using Scotch tape!
