Jason BuranenI travel the world with whip in hand, in search of the Holy Grail. Wait, no that was a movie I saw once. Actually I mainly work, and travel the world when I can afford it. I've been to several parts of the US and have made two trips to Europe. There are several more destinations in the queue and if anyone would like to finance those, please contact me right away!

When I travel I take surprising numbers of photos. They are published here for your viewing pleasure and select photos will soon be availble for purchase at Imagekind. Some of the photos that appear at the top of the site are available there.

Thanks for visiting. If you have any thoughts on the photos, site design, or how to travel in tubes, please let me know. All my info is down below.

Regarding Table15:
Historians place the origin of Table15 near the beginning of the millenium in an area known as The Coulee Region. It is believed to have been a late-night gathering place for a race known then as Young People. During daylight hours Young People were active members of society, discovering new things and absorbing the collective knowledge of their ancestors. The lessons learned during these hours were matters of great importance, like The Pythagorean Theorem and how to run a mile. It is this knowledge that today allows Young People to thrive in The Real World.

Table15 was located in one of many gathering places in The Coulee Region. Throughout time there have been countless gathering places scattered across the world, all with different purposes. Some examples are The Hofbrauhaus, the Parthenon, and Woodstock. In The Coulee Region there was a one known as Perkins. The origin of that name is unknown, but is thought to be named after Ned Perkins, the first person to glue a book to a shelf. During the day (and on Sunday afternoons) Perkins was often filled with Senior Citizens. They met there to discuss the price of gasoline and how best to prevent squirrels from getting into the bird feeder.

Young People arrived at the Gathering Place after a strenuous day of research, transcription, and hackey-sack. There, they discussed things like the price of CDs and how creepy the guy at the next table was. One group of Young People always chose the good corner table when they came to Perkins. It was the best table because they could observe all the other Young People and Senior Citizens who were there. As you have probably guessed, that table was numbered 15. Sometimes the Young People would have to sit at table 75 in the opposite corner. But they preferred not to.

That's kind of it. The website is named after a corner table at the Perkins on Rose Street in La Crosse, WI. Hopefully you weren't expecting more.
