Cathie is a good friend, an artist, a journalism professor at Indiana University Fort Wayne, and photographer for the Journal-Gazette. I photographed her last week outside the Starbucks in downtown Fort Wayne.

Driving north from Peru, Indiana in Miami County, I saw a sign shaped like a big arrow pointing down a country road. The sign read: “MEXICO 1/2 MILE”. This photograph shows an insurance agency on Mexico Road, the little town’s main street.

I was walking around the apartment complex in Waynedale where I live, when I found this little kid-sized plastic patio chair overturned in the snow by the field of thistles.

This my parents’ dog, Gabby, a Great Pyrenees sheep dog. She is HUGE, but their cat kicks her butt and steals food from her every day.

Fraction Magazine, an online fine art photography journal based in Albuquerque, has a new exhibit of work by members of the Analogue Photography Users Group, an online community for photographers who use film. Fraction selected 29 photographers out of more than 300 submissions by APUG members, and I am honored to be one of those selected. Check out the exhibit, there is some magnificent work on display from photographers around the world.

This photograph, from my Forgotten Indiana project, was chosen for the exhibit on Fraction Magazine.

I have driven past this little brick building with its Greek columns many times since moving back to Indiana. It is located on Maumee Avenue on the east side of Fort Wayne, Indiana near my son’s school. I think it must have once been a bank, but now it is a church. The Egyptian ankh symbol on the sign over the doors is a curious thing to find on a Christian church.

For several weeks after grandpa died, Molly laid in this window in his kitchen almost continuously. She looked out the window most of the time, or she slept.

Sunlight on a cold November day streams into the little white chapel at the Prairie Grove Cemetery in the Waynedale area of Fort Wayne, Indiana several months after the fire that damaged the building in March of 2008. Workmen restoring the little church have torn up some of the water and fire damaged carpet and pushed the pews to one side. Restoration began with the replacement of the roof in November, 2008. Work was then stopped because of the winter.
