Caught up on those missing winks last night…. Yup.. no caffeine after 7 does the trick.

An old friend from high school / college daze who I keep in vague contact with asked if I could snap a shot of the front of the old Lemp Mansion , specifically “The stone in front which reads Lemp”.

Why? He didn’t say. Knowing this character though – there’s most likely a wild story behind it.

Nontheless – the other day I found myself out that way and it was one of those real nice crisp clear early autumn days – so I stopped and nabbed some shots.

While I was up there I spent a little extra time wandering around and playing… (Dayjob bossette asked if I had or could take an image for her other friend who recently got relocated out of St. Louis.)

Found some funky views over Soulard. She liked em and picked one to be made into a print.

This has all since revived an old itch I had back in school to mix graphics and photography within a fine arts context. The technology wasn’t quite there yet in the early 90’s to do it as easily as you can now.

Regardless – it was nice to go and (with purpose) take pictures of stuff other than what normally puts food on the chicken.
