By Jon Roemer On 29 Jan ’10 · 3 Comments

Hey, I admit it. I Google myself every once in a while. It’s a good way to keep up on how my web site and my blog are being indexed. It’s also a convenient way to find out if photos of mine are appearing online. You never know what you may find…

A few days [...]

The Incredible Shrinking Man

By Jon Roemer On 26 Jan ’10 · Leave a Comment

This morning, before work, I was in our basement crawl space on leg three of replacing the battery backup sump pump. An odyssey which began two days earlier and required no less than three trips to Lowe’s.

Dateline: Vineland, NJ, 1/21/10 – the police have arrested a man, the lessee-manager of a bowling alley, for contracting the torching of a rival alley a few miles away. The accused’s business [...]

Pick a Team

P-P-P-Polaroid Face

By Jon Roemer On 9 Jan ’10 · Leave a Comment

Fresh Portraits

By Jon Roemer On 8 Jan ’10 · Leave a Comment

These were shot last month during my Berkshire jaunt.

One quick story, Fred Rudolph, pictured above, is eighty-nine. He was a pistol to work with; kept me on my toes and kept me laughing the whole time.

2010: This Is Who I Am and This Is What I Do

By Jon Roemer On 5 Jan ’10 · Leave a Comment

A few days ago the New York Times ran the story of Louis Mendes, New York City street photographer. At age 70 he does what he has done for forty years. He creates portraits with a Speed Graphic and Polaroid film. While others, working the same crowds, require crews just to round up people and [...]
