Ever wonder where B&M Baked Beans are made? Probably not, but in case you did this is it in all it's glory. It is a strange water side factory, real run down looking. It is sort of the big mystery around here, many people have tried to go in but no access is allowed. Don't think about it too much, just enjoy them beans!

One of the few benefits of living in this lonely town is the company of the ocean.

oh man......I can't wait.

During late fall I will often find little birds, like this one, on the sidewalk. I am not sure what it is that kills them, maybe it is simply the quick change in season that does not allow sick or weak birds to survive. I walk about a mile and a half to work and sometimes see two unfortunate birds in one walk. It is a fast reminder that winter is coming. This one was on my door step about a month after my grandmother past. Maybe it was a curiosity about how I was handling my resent loss, I am not sure, but something encouraged me to keep the bird in my freezer.

It's dreary season in Portland ME.

More images from the workplace. The first is an image of the reading room, the place where people dig through the stacks and find bits of their past. The second is of collections in waiting for their place among the shelves. And lastly the display case with bits of the libraries own history. Including (left to right) Red Tape which is used to tie together books whose bindings are on the outs, an old card catalog drawer, and a counter, a small box of dried kidney beans that was used to keep track of how many guests came into the library, plus many other little bits of our past.

so maybe making pictures of your self because your the only person around is not the most legitimate way to make work, but it keeps you shooting.
