I’d previously seen the more modern version I am Legend with Will Smith, but had read that it pales next to the original it was based on, Vincent Price’s Last Man on […]
This one ought to be added to the Amazing Stories of Sharing, all enabled via flickr photosharing. cc licensed ( BY NC ) flickr photo shared by windsordi Back in December, I posted a photo of some really solid oak that had been split for me (it was like iron) cc licensed ( BY ) […]
