This is me, PostMuse, at the Smallest Post Office in the US (the post office is not so small it doesn't appear ... the marker is a historic marker that is more interesting than the post office itself, of which there are lots and lots of images around). The photo was taken in April 2010, Ochopee, Florida, very close to Everglades National Park. I have postcards in my hand, and they all got very nice smallest post office postmarks.

Thank you for the wonderful group idea!

Postally Yours,
PostMuse

Franticham - Seoul (2010)

2010-02-16T09:41:00.000-08:00

hi Ruud

This is a picture of FRANTICHAM taken in Seoul in January 2010.
Who is Franticham???
It's Antic-Ham from Seoul and Francis Van Maele from Ireland.
This picture is a reflection of us in a TV set from Nam June Paiks'
"Fractal Turtle Ship".
It's an installation using 348 objects including television monitors, phonographs, radios, polaroid cameras, electric toasters, fish, stuffed turtles as well as broken automobile and piano parts.
Nam June Paik did this work as homage to the Korean admiral Yi Sun-Sin who used a ship in the form of a turtle in successful combats against the Japanese naval forces in the 15th century.

Hi Ruud

I just posted this up on IUOMA's self-portrait group and thought I'd send it for inclusion on the site too. Obviously the exact dates taken are not known, but it's anywhere between 1991-2005 and shows every passport photo ever taken for an ID card in that time, from the age of 11.

Hi, This is A. Sleep.Here is a photo taken of me in 2000.

Address:

1221 Evergreen Park Drive SW A1,

Olympia, WA 98502

And a poem I wrote in December of 2008:

Poison.
Ingest.
Take your pills.
Open up Swallow.
Consumer. Consume.
Bitter,
chew
bitter.
chalky.
chew
chalky.
Spit.
Syrup.
thick
syrup.
Drown in.
Fall in.
In
In
In.
Hunger
ingests
itself
Black Hole
the beginning
a point in time
like a cell collapsing
on itself
before puffing back
out: two cells.

Thanks, A. Sleep
