A major motion picture is filming about a mile from home.
I'm compiling a photo journal documenting the site prep and a few action shots. Access is restricted.
Watch one street change from sleepy to riot torn 1967 Detroit.

A next door neighbor stopped by today wondering where I've been. "Don't see you in the yard lately."
He was fond of Sarah so I told him. It was nice to have someone check in on me.
The guy on the other side of me cut down trees that were shading out my veggie garden. Thank You
It's too hot to cook so I donated a bag of ripe tomatoes at the senior center. The old lady smiles get me every time.
RETURNING
It's been nearly 5 years since my last post. Much has changed.
My social photo site Daily Pics has shut down. I no longer work at my Zazzle account but it remains open. Go buy something, ha.
The open heart surgery is a distant memory, I've resumed riding a bicycle as rehab. I feel much better now.
Sidekick Sarah has passed away at age 16½, we grew old together. She is sorely missed and a large part of my return to Blogger.
I will have to re-learn navigation and likely redesign this 10 year old blog.
All in good time.
I found an old leather box containing century old family photos last month. It was in a box headed to the dump that was forgotten. Everything was in poor condition stinking of mold and mildew. A little cleaning brought the box back to life. I snapped some pics and used them to create really cool items for my store.
Here are a few ~ click on any to see more details.
I stopped at a large cemetery in Boston a few weeks ago to snap pics of all the flags on veterans graves. It was inspiring to see. Then I noticed some impressive statues. It was mid day with a very bright sun, not the best time for photographs. One Bas Relief of Jesus kneeling in prayer was highlighted by that hard sun. I knew what I had to do as soon as I saw it. It took some photo editing but this is the result.
A handful of backgrounds has kept me busy for weeks updating older products and creating new ones. We can do mouse pads today although I feel they have a declining market.
One of my earliest abstract designs gets a boost with the copper colored background.
Somehow I got started on backgrounds. A new bg can transform an old image. Here are a couple oldies updated on mugs.

Classy Classic ~ mug by Andy2302
We have pretty ceramic ornaments with two customizable sides. The same design often works fine for both sides but Pariseau's Market has something special for you.
It started with this Praying Mantis. Two shots from the same shoot. The back side is freaky. This female has been in the plant nursery for months getting stronger and more confident.

Anyone with a camera who loves Nature appreciates pretty butterflies. I try to add new varieties to my gallery when ever possible. This has been a bonanza season. I've improved on species I already have and shot new ones I didn't know existed around here, southern New England.
Let me show you a few on products offered at Pariseau's Market
My first ever Buckeye butterfly on a Mug.
Every city and town has hidden gems. This is about the Brockton, Massachusetts public library rotunda murals commissioned by the WPA (Works Progress Administration) in 1940-41. The theme is the history of books and printing from Egyptian hieroglyphics to modern (as of 1940) lithograph.
The works were carefully restored a few years ago as part of a library upgrade and expansion. I had the opportunity to photograph them for the library web site a while back. I recently added the images to Pariseau's Market on a wide variety of products from prints, mugs, magnets and even a neck tie.
Take a look.
I get back to photo editing in winter. Here are some recent works available on products from mouse pads to mugs, shown here as prints.
Three pics in one.
Calendars are great Holiday gifts and nobody has anything like these.
You may have never seen some of these Wildflowers.

This is my oldest Amaryllis, it may be 25 years old, I forget.
An old 'Red Lion' variety I got at the super market for $5.
This year it has 2 flower stalks, each with 4 flowers. Usually the flower stalks come up one after the other, this year they are together.
People ask how I get it to live so long, I tell them Maximum Sun.
The second pic shows it where it grows, in a very sunny window, until it goes out for the Summer.
