Visit our other library branches

 







While the abilities of my photo generation tools leap forward in quality at an alarming rate, there are picture series I haven't yet gotten around to showing you that feel positively ancient to me, but are really only a week old.

I have been making a ton of stuff.

Which I may have mentioned here a few times lately.

But despite these being from another era altogether (of a week ago), they still have their delights, and one of these pictures is actually up at the front desk of my library right now. Sometimes people think these are references to real places, which is alarming, but not totally without charm. And one person saw the "Paris" version at the desk and spoke French to me and I understood it!

Which is promising.


For most of the life of clerkmanifesto I scrupulously did not mention the name of my library, but I am close enough, I think, to the end of my career there, and have now featured it in so many photographs, that I am okay with it appearing here. We do not actually have any oversea branches, alas, but dreams count for something too...




Note: I didn't realize/remember that there were nine cities! Nor did I realize I would have to choose between as many as nine variations for each one! But so it is. I have tried to make them harmonize.

Post a Comment

If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.

I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!

One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
