The Adventures of the Good Ship Tropic Moon (Part 1)

I have a new passion (obsession??), and that's making small books.  I have two done and am working on a few more.  The first one, The Adventures of the Good Ship Tropic Moon,  is a compilation of stories and poems I wrote, and images from my slides, done during the time we lived on Tropic Moon.  Five plushies "crewed" and traveled with us, and this book is written from their perspective.  I thought I'd post the pages on my blog (so you'd know I'm still alive and doing something!).  Above is the title page and below are the first four pages of the book.  The book is 8 1/2" x 5" and is spiral bound.  It may be necessary to click on the images to be able to read the text.  If anyone finds that this doesn't work, please let me know.

Happy Accident!

I was scanning some travel slides, and I accidently put two slides in the same scanner slot.  Would you call that a double exposure?  In any case,  I totally love it!  I rescanned the slides individually, in case you'd like to see which two pictures produced the above image.

These slides were taken in Maine, probably in 1983.

I tried it again with a couple other slides, but, of course, only came out with a dark blob. 

Here's one more shot from that day.  That's Ed stretched out on the rocks in the foreground.
