self portrait
Well, look at that! There I am, reflected in the headlight rim of an old motorcycle! (In real life, I am taller.)
This was right about the time a mom – one of those ones who have been fortunate enough to have given birth to the World’s Only – and Most Fascinating and Smartest – Toddler In History – shouted at me from across the gallery because she thought I was photographing her and the WO-AMFAS-TIH*. That was fun! I’ve never been yelled at in a museum. Photography sure does lead to a lot of new experiences.

*I wasn’t.

Of course my eye was drawn to the only bit of color in the scene…even though what I’d gone over there to photograph was the remains of a building on the right side of the image. Now I can understand that the building-husk was just the bait to lure me in.

all in all it’s just another brick
I know: it’s vandalism. And I’m supposed to not be in favor of it.
But damn…those colors…those lines…that shading.

as wine, the strongest heads
There are two hats hanging on a hook in the garage. To be honest, I am afraid of wearing either one of them: I think there are spiders or maybe these weird almost-clear geckos in them. And who even knows what else might be in there that I would prefer not to have on my head.
But I didn’t encounter anything dangerous when I made this photo.

one stitch holds it all
I have four or five vintage quilts; I don’t know the provenance of any of them, other than to say they are soft and old and lovely.
I like to think that this one stitch is the one holding the entire quilt together.
