Read Your Shakespeare

A powerful storm just blew through.  I heard it coming for about twenty minutes before it arrived.  Then the rain, the thunder, and then. . . "POP!" The lights dimmed, went out, and came back on.  The...

Careful

I took this photo a long time ago.  She was a "feminist painter." That's how she described herself.  Her paintings were pretty good for someone starting out.  They were better than that.  She'd...

To Make Photos

It is Saturday night, and Ili is in the air coming back from a trip to one of the big cities.  I have had time alone.  I thought I might make pictures, but it was too much.  I rested and watched photo...

A.C. Blues

A.C. went out just as the sultry air came.  Slept last night on top of the sheets, arms and legs akimbo, fan on high.  It did not get cool in the night.  I will sleep at my mother's tonight.  The air...

Watching the Workers

The a.c. boys are here now.  Nice guys.  There was a crew of four, then a supervisor, then the salesman, then someone I didn't know what, and now there are just two installers.  The ducts are clean....

Vaqueros

The a.c. fellas worked all day, a long day.  I got to sit and answer questions.  It was awful.  But the fellas were nice guys, very polite to one another.  They were Hispanic and spoke in English...

Accusatory Culture

This is a photo from Russia in the late 19th or early 20th century.  I found it on the internet.  A bunch of them.  It reminds me of what I wanted to do in my studio when I got it.  Looking at these...

Burning the Past

Sorry for not posting.  I had been anticipating the K-pop phenoms, BTS, appearing on SNL, then afterwards, I was overwhelmed.  I was waiting for Q to write about how much his son enjoyed them and that...

Birds and Squirrels

We have multiple bird feeders now, some that are seed, some that are liquids, some that are cakes that hang from cages.  I think we might have a sock, too, that we have yet to hang.  And the birds...

Article 1

I don't write in the mornings any more because I don't have a laptop.  I am going to have to buy one, but they are expensive.  At least the Macs are.  The ones that will edit photos.  I should get a...

No Collusion

Late post.  Sketchy internet.  Storms a-coming.  I will be leaving the factory soon.  This could be "Wizard of Oz" like.  I worry about my roof.  I have many worries.  I only share a few. Of a sudden,...

Reverse Easter

No rebirth for me.  Sick.  So sick.  It is not fair, but it is typical.  The weather has been beyond perfect for days.  I have only been able to sit and look at the bird feeders, the garden.  Worse. I...

Sadly Considered

Ah, hell. . . I'm sorry I've been such a bad correspondent, but circumstances have prevented me from being able.  This has been the most incredible week of the year for weather.  If you are here (I...

Changing of the Seasons

Way Back Machine

I almost didn't write today.  I don't know.  Things get weird.  For some reason, though, I was thinking about NYC in the '70s, the time I first went there.  It was a different place then.  Everyone...
