Pnw is crazy because you’re always going somewhere new for the first time and going this is the most beautiful place I’ve ever seen. And then the next week you go somewhere else and it’s the most beautiful place you’ve ever seen

NATIONAL LIGHTHOUSE DAY

Lighthouses are wonderful photographic subjects. Beacons of light, friends to all at sea, symbols of hope lighthouses are grand for many reasons. Here are a few images I’ve captured of lighthouses.

3? 5? 13?

heeeello hun <3

3. a specific color that gives you the ick? that like,,, greenish yellow. wait lemme see if i can- THIS SHIT. i hate this color. it looks like if you took yellow and sucked all of the joy out of it.

WHERE DID THE IMAGE GO I HAD PUT AN IMAGE HERE. ANYWAY JUST GOOGLE GREENISH YELLOW IT’S THE LIKE SECOND RESULT

5. favorite form of potato? Mashed!!!!! i mean i love all forms of potato but mashed is so versatile ;;; specifically tho i think of the way my mom makes them, where theres a little bit of sour cream mixed in and there's little bits of skin still and UGH its so yummy. but it can also be cheesy and you can add herbs and green onions and bacon and yeah. mash potato :)

13. first thing you’re doing in the purge? tbh probably just hiding. preparing to protect myself. maybe going to the store and stealing food (and possibly entertainment but only if its quick and easy) idk that it would truly be CHAOS but in the chance that it is, i'd wanna be ready ya know? plus even if it isn't like.... free food !!!

It's Fine Press Friday!

This 1932 Limited Editions Club (LEC) publication of the ancient Roman novel The Golden Ass, (also known as the Metamorphoses of Apuleius), was one of the many artist-illustrated classics produced under the direction of American publisher and LEC founder George Macy (1900–1956). It tells the extraordinary and oft unsavory tale of Lucius, a young man experimenting with ancient religious magic who accidentally transforms himself into a donkey instead of a bird- a condition he is able to reverse only after a wild journey of misadventure which concludes with his induction into the cult of Isis.  

The novel, originally composed in Latin in the 2nd century by philosopher and scholar Lucius Apuleius (c. 124 CE-c. 170 CE), was translated into English for this edition by writer and social activist Jack Lindsay (1900-1990) and features reproductions of pen and ink illustrations from Percival Goodman (1904-1989), a progressive urban theorist and architect more widely known for his postmodernist architectural renderings and contributions to modern synagogue design.

The book was printed in a limited edition of 1500 copies by John S. Fass (1890-1973) at the Harbor Press in New York, a fine-press printing house founded by Fass and Roland & Elizabeth Wood in 1925, and features type designer Thomas Maitland Cleland’s (1880-1964) elegant Della Robbia typeface in black and red ink on Worthy special paper, illustrated endpapers, and gilding on the top edge of the text block. Goodman’s signature is inscribed in red ink beneath the colophon. The publisher’s announcement included with our copy describes the edition as bound in “full natural ass’s hide”, a characterization critically described by Claire Badaracco in her 1995 book Trading Words: Poetry, Typography, and Illustrated Books in the Modern Literary Economy as “stretching the boundaries of good taste”, but we think that the smooth, gold-stamped cover is quite lovely and understated in person!
