Rebirth of Rebirth of The Pines

Texas Escapes is featuring my Rebirth of The Pines post.

Looking for the Coen Brothers

I was asked by a commenter to keep them posted on my current, primary Internet "presence" (ha, ha) via the Texas Escapes magazine/website. My Eagle Pass post of around a year ago is the current issue's cover story. They gave it a really great title (I wish I'd thought of!):

"Eagle Pass: No Country for Young Men Either
or Looking for the Coen Brothers"

Texas Escapes

Well, it looks like things have come full circle in a way. This blog began as an way to work out my Frank Sinatra fixation and attempt to do "pop culture archeology and tribute," with increasing focus on photography and the documenting of small towns through photography. I frequently used the site Texas Escapes as a guide to the various places I visited to do those small town posts. So you can imagine the thrill of having the editor of Texas Escapes, John Troesser, contact me with an interest in my doing an ongoing column for them. It's nice as my interest (and "the Internet's") in this blog has sort of has atrophied and ground to a halt, that I should have this opportunity with Texas Escapes. It is possible I will do more posts here, at EBiN, but I really don't see the point as my visitors are increasingly limited to Google image searchers. That feels pointless and hollow. EBiN has been an attempt to reach out, hopefully to like-minded people sharing my interests, and remedy, yes, boredom. Thank you to those people who linked to me and visited my blog and enjoyed what they found here from time to time. Thank you to those who let me know of their opinions and appreciation via commenting and email. Here is hopefully the start of something "big." We'll see...
