 Americana
I have the pleasure of introducing a California-based artist who crafts the most amazing western-style belt buckles I've ever seen. Crafted from Elk and Deer antler, sterling silver, and semi-precious stones and metals, they are unlike any other belt buckle on the market. In future I'll present more of his work, including bolo ties, money clips, and necklaces, as this is just a beginning effort on my part.

I've been promising many folks for a long time that I would photograph and document The Ashton Collection of more than 200 Ashton smoking pipes covering the startup of the firm to April 2003. The pipes are now online, along with a few of my notes regarding individual pieces. The photos were done in a quick and dirty manner, and so do not show the amazing detail of the pipes.  A note- if you do not have a broadband connection the first page will take almost two minutes to load.
