More Proof of My Dorkdom

Never before in history has a man of my beauty been so prone to nerdom.

Ever since I was five or six years old I've thought about going around Milwaukee, photographing all the remaining billboards painted on the side of brick buildings.

For all I know this is a universal phenomenom, but they've disappeared in the last quarter century here.

My goal, therefore, was to record them for all time in a coffee table book before the elements destroyed them.

As it is, this is the only one I've ever shot, taken today while driving with the girls.

  4. It's a super idea! People take photos of the strangest things for the strangest reasons. Old fading signs of days gone past is perfect.

  6. I think any project that uses a camera is simply wonderful.  I think it is a cool idea and I am jealous that I did not think of it.  Sioux

  7. I'm pleasantly surprised at the interest my idea has generated . . . it's got me thinking. On a separate tack, it's also gotten me wondering why these itsy bitsy posts generate so much more commentary than the posts I spend hours on. :)
