About…

The Site…

What’s in a name…

Imagine those thousand words, cliches that they are. The words dissolve, twisting and reforming as they melt, swirling together to create images that sear upon the mind…photographs…

Ok, so really…

So it’s from a song, by one of my favorite singers, Kristy Thirsk. I was looking for a title… something from something dear to me, without being about that something dear, since that’s not what these pages are about. So I was listening to my CD, looking for interesting words or phrases, and Molten Words popped out at me. It’s from the song Second Fiddle. Then I thought up that other stuff.

The Fonts

To properly view these pages, you need to have: Viner Hand ITC, Tempus Sans ITC, and Franklin Gothic Book.

The Images…

All of my photographs are taken on film, and developed and printed myself (with the exception of color, which I use exceedingly rarely.). I generally shoot and print with Ilford products.

Why am I here?

I like to show people my photographs. I like to hear when they enjoy or appreciate something about them. I also like to hear what they don’t like about them, thus I learn. Please feel free to tell me what you think.And the Words blog is just because occasionally I might need to ramble about stuff…
