My parents took a series of cute pigtailed photos of me when I was five or six years old. Yesterday, I slipped one of these photos into the pages of Nabakov's Lolita at the Crescent Hill Public Library. I suspect that a relatively normal person wi...

I've wanted to do this task for a while, since so many people have done this task really, really well, I decided I had to do multiple mystery photos. It took me a while to find actual celloid photographs, but I recently discovered an old cache and pi...

I printed out little photos of Dr. Bootygrabber, aka Paris the Black Fu, of the Detroit Grand Pubahs, and cut them up. I then inserted them into what seemed like an endless (and ever so dense) philosophy and cultural theory book collection found with...

I'll start by saying that this was the most fun I've had doing a task so far. I started with a young man named Robert Serviss. At 17, this upstanding young gentleman has contributed just about nothing to society and I love him anyway - he's one...

I found this photo on Monday, the day after the DeathMarch V (A Long Walk). I met up with Avidd whom had left his motor bike a few blocks up Mission St from John Daly. As we were walking up Daly, about 2 blocks before Mission I noticed this picture, ...
i slipped a pic of my neighbor into my friend's photo album and to my surprise the next day the book was thrown into one of many boxes and i was asked to help move them to the attic. I wrote "thanks for the good time" on the back of it" it will be re...
