Another disadvantage (for the offense) of playing rugby in prom dresses is there is a lot more to grab onto.

Tombstone of Captain Thomas Smith

Ashland is apparently a smoky mess these days. I’ll be back in town in a couple weeks. Hopefully the skies will clear up soon. Today’s photo is from a foggy morning rather than a recent smoky day.

This headstone is rather interesting. It seems like the writing wasn’t completely planned, and the engraver added some words in after the fact. If you can’t read the words, try clicking on the image while on a larger screen.

Capt. Thos. Smith was born on the 14th of September in 1809 in Campbell, Kentucky and died on the 4th of November in 1892 in Ashland, Oregon. According to this site he did more than hold the savages at bay. He also started the Bank of Ashland.

Ashland Independent Film Festival

Just eight more months until the 2014 AIFF… Next year’s dates are April 3-7. Today’s photo is of the AIFF Operations Manger, Wendy Conner, who also happens to be the person who roped me in to taking all of these AIFF photos.
