Artistic Digressions
Being compulsively acquisitive, and with an occasional tendency to drive over the median strip on the art highway, other things occasionally beckon, whether in western history, historic photography, graphics or objects with have a complimentary quality to what we love and what we do and to which, for one reason or the other, we've experienced a visual response.
Here are our latest digressions. Images and listings in this section will change at the whim of the head honcho and might even include, for fun, examples of my own digital photography on rare occasions. No excuses. No rules.
