The Sleeping Beauty

This anthology is a thorough introduction to classic literature for those who have not yet experienced these literary masterworks. For those who have known and loved these works in the past, this is an invitation to reunite with old friends in a fresh new format. From Shakespeare s finesse to Oscar Wilde s wit, this unique collection brings together works as diverse and influential as The Pilgrim s Progress and Othello. As an anthology that invites readers to immerse themselves in the masterpieces of the literary giants, it is must-have addition to any library.

For the Uta Barth emulation assignment. Although Barth's style really doesn't appeal to me I did connect on one level: since I don't sleep with my moderately strong contact lenses in, I usually wake up to fuzzy, somewhat familiar images. I shot this on manual out-of-focus from my side of the bed. I guess the photo invites the viewer to fill the foreground and the picture with meaning- for me that include my wife (and the dim light (early hour - work?) or the waning light of dusk (wait - I never take evening naps?)). Anyway, I put ISO up to 1600 for the dim light, exposure was 0.6 seconds and focal length was 34mm (equivalent to 51mm on the Nikon DX chip) - about the same as the normal human field of vision. So, I've tried to recreate the visual oddness of my first waking moments. I would never have considered exhibiting such a weird imperfect photo before - hope you like it! Thanks, apc

Too much stuff! 4 Month trip visiting Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama. After camping in cloud forest in Honduas I intend to send home/get rid of a fair amount of this (Sleeping Bag/Walking Boots/Pillow/Maybe macro lens) and when I've finished War and Peace that will be a bit less weight!

Sleeping with Ward Cleaver is the funny yet poignant story of a woman at a crossroads in life, who years earlier married a man who swept her off her feet, but now finds that her Mr. Right has evolved into Mr. Always Right, and the only sweeping going on in her life involves a broom and a dustpan. As her dreams collide with reality and the one that got away shows up trying to worm his way back into her heart, she must decide if her once charmed marriage is salvageable, and if so, how she's going to go about saving it.
