Maude's Market fall 2012 CSA coming soon!
I've not been taking a ton of photographs this summer, so I've gotten very few of the bounty I've been reaping from the Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) share I get from Maude's Market in Dutchtown, here in south St. Louis. But above are a few of the greens and yellows that have crossed my plate this summer.
And the season's nearly over! Next week is the last pickup of the summer. The autumn CSA begins October 5.
I've gone on and on about the CSA here on the blog. You can see some of my posts here for a sampling of some of the awesome goodies I've gotten and an overview of how the CSA works.
But, even better information is available from Maude's Market itself. Check it out here. Not too late to sign up for next season! And I urge you to. It's fun!
If you're not local, and haven't participated in a CSA before, check out some options in your own community.

All kinds of weather, we stick together

Sisters, sisters
There were never such devoted sisters...
Oh, hi!
My sisters are all pretty awesome (and cute), but only one of them let me talk her into being in an art exhibit with me.
That sister is Alexandra Kassing. She's a fantastic painter. And she lives in South Carolina, which means I don't get to see her nearly enough, and we've never been in any shows together.
I nagged her into applying to an exhibit at the St. Louis Artists' Guild with me, and hey yay — we both got in!
The exhibit is Lay of the Land, and it opens this Friday, August 24, at the Artists' Guild. Come!
Opening:
Friday, August 24, 2012 - 6:00pm - 9:00pm
Exhibition Dates:
Friday, August 24, 2012 - Sunday, October 21, 2012
Admission:
Free and Open to the Public

It's Roid Week! (Friday)
Roid Week is a celebration of instant film, on Flickr. See all about it (and other people's photos) here.
This photo was taken on S. Jefferson Ave. in south St. Louis.
I used a Holga camera with a Polaroid back (affectionately known as a Holgaroid), with Polaroid Type 89 pack film (which is no longer made and past its expiration date by a few years, so I keep my last few remaining packs in the fridge for special occasions, like Roid Week!)

It's Roid Week! (Thursday)
Roid Week is a celebration of instant film, on Flickr. See all about it (and other people's photos) here.
This is the last remaining location of Globe Drugs in St. Louis. Globe Drugs — for the uninitiated — is part pharmacy, part wine/spirits store, and (I would say) mostly variety store.
There are so so so many things there, at low low prices. What's in stock changes frequently. Expect the unexpected, for sure. Go check it out!
This photo is a Polaroid transfer. I took the photo with my regular digital camera, printed the photo, and then exposed the image to Polaroid Type 669 pack film (which is no longer made and past its expiration date by a few years, so I keep my last few remaining packs in the fridge for special occasions, like Roid Week!)
After the image is exposed to the pack film, the negative is separated from the positive, and the negative is printed onto something else (in this case, watercolor paper).

They came to take my baby away
We were together for eleven years and went a lot of places. I am one sappy mother-shutyourmouth and yet I surprised myself at how freely the tears flowed to see it towed away. Thanks, dear car.
