BMoxies 1st Ever Photo Week – Day 1 (Multitasking)
aka . . . Now for Something Completely Different
I still remember the first back and forth I had with a guy named Barry Morgan. In 2009, I was a blog owner: the Agents of Moxie; he was a blog owner: Barry’s Big Blog of Building. On BBOB, as we came to call it — he would post a single photo a day . . . and usually, unusual or simply instructive . . . that’s how he rolled.
And as we are both feeling the weight of summer schedules, we have decided to dust this format off for a week or two. I hope you enjoy.
Note: If you would like to submit a photo for inclusion in the site, please email [email protected] with a short summary. Thanks.

AKA: Multitasking or Building Moxie‘s Guaranteed to 100%, Foolproof Method For Putting a Baby to Sleep
Location: Living Room (Baltimore, MD)
In This Photo:
JB & Evyn Bartkowiak. Also in the photo: Box-bay windows, thin-slatted wood shutters, hanging plants (grrr. can’t remember the name of these plants — likely later replaced with ferns . . . ha!), “Pinhole Photo of Cruiser in Santa Cruz”, by Jason Bedient (a gift for my 29th birthday and here, lonely), table top fountain (wedding present and what were we thinking?), Philip Morris (made by my grandfather circa 1961 for display in his bar), 1 1/4″ copper radiator pipe exposed and painted, refinished American (?) cast iron radiator, Bauhaus sectional (color: Raisin). Note: I did not account for said radiator pipe when ordering said sectional. The chaise was, no matter, moved into the bay where it worked rather nicely.
Additional Information:
For my first, I went back to the first few sets we took with a digital camera. 2003, for me, was monopolized primarily by two things, Jen’s first pregnancy and Evyn’s birth. While this one was taken later in the year . . . it is what I have decided to go with for today. While I take many more pictures then I did then, I still make mistakes. And Wow! — how the digital camera has changed our lives.

Great photo JB – can’t wait to see the rest this week. Are those comfy housepants I see on you? A staple for a Baltimore winter!
ha! housepants — thanks for noticing. likely I ended up the couch watching the Ravens (having a baby is great excuse for being lazy.) but jen reminds me this was the day of Carey’s 30th b-day party. thanks John!
Evyn spent lots of time in that thing! Perfect recipe for sleep…papooska and the beautiful white noise of the vacuum cleaner, aahh. I remember that day, it was when we were having Carey’s surprise 30th birthday party at our house. Psyched to see your pictures this week! xoxo
not sure they are all going to be as exciting as this for you… I do appreciate your big brain and thanks for the memory. xo back.
Great idea, posting a photo sequence! Photos are wonderful — people love to see them, and they really do tell a thousand words. Catching up with things at my end and looking forward now to go through these most recent posts. Thanks, jb! (But house pants??? Really! :-)
well . . . I hope life is treating you right John. The idea of the photo sequence of course comes from Barry’s original . . . I wanted to shift to it for a couple of weeks because both B and I have had our hands full. What I found . . . it really hasn’t been that much of a time savings. plus I realize, most of my photos really aren’t all that interesting . . . or I have or want to use them elsewhere. We talked already about making this format a more permanent fixture… which of course you are welcome to submit something to. And yes! house pants .. what’s it to ya? ;~)
