Artistic Mailboxes of Gulfport

June 5th, 2009 | No Comments |

Moving to Gulfport I was amazed at the density of really cool, decorative, and intricate mailboxes and began a project to locate and document any artistic artistic expression that went beyond the stock USPS regulated box.

I’ve not made any additional progress since last fall and realized that completing the project dovetails nicely with my theme of Production. I’ve completed my survey in only one small portion of the city nearer the waterfront. I’m also curious how the artistic expression changes with geography.

In addition to placing them here on this site I am also adding them to Google maps and you can find them here:

Here are a few photos from the existing set:

So I'm furiously packing and trying to remember ...

Lost

Over the US Thanksgiving Day weekend I finally had the opportunity to catch up on Lost. I've made it through seasons 4 & 5 and am now working on season 1, with 2-3 to follow. Present Theories: Jacob is the father trying to raise his child. A loose parallel of Christian and Jack. The Island is a prison: Jacob and "friend" are in the prison. Jacob is a warden whos "powers" can escape the island. I've come up with a list of questions for which I'd like to find answers: How is Jin hopping thorough time in Season 4 with the other Island persons but ...

Saint Petersburg Sunrise

I finally made my way to Tampa Bay's water's edge to catch a sunrise. I liked it more than the sunsets... There felt more of an activity about at least with the birds and the dolphins. Pelicans and seagulls were swooping about and the dolphins were friskily feeding. Aside from a lone tug boat heading out to the Gulf of Mexico there was little human activity seen on the water. I had also forgotten how long it takes for the sun to cross the horizon once the eastern sky begins to lighten. I was ...
