Lion Gate


Cars sound like rustling leaves
below me, under
the bridge of stone
the leaves roll down the centre
on, by and over the line

shaking in the trees,
a hawk has made himself known
and the memory of a great white owl
silently flying
wide -winged overhead follows me
as
the trees reflect yellow in the river, small
rapids,
no tides
just flowing forward out of the mountains across the prairies and to the sea. I think.

Ages



I have my first ever roll of real black and white back in my hands. It is fantastic. I never want to go back. Also - the library has scanners and negative scanners that I can use at my leisure. I have the secret staff unlocking code.

The ultimate advantage?

The scanners - as you may notice - are not 100% quality. I am forced to keep moving

I have been rejected by all the publications that I have submitted work to so far. I have all the good luck I need to finally succeed now.

All that's left to do is get some more stamps. and go back to work.

Unpaid Leave

I want self to remain one
with a body

I sit with the body.

The man goes to
work all day
I watch a film-like representation
through my eyes
and wave goodbye

frantically
insanely
meditatively

I am shaky with
nothing really
real
reality.

my overcoat too
is not obtainable -I shiver.

a cloud above me is thundering
large animals running across a plain
are moving home to another home.

Paddling





I am going to a digital photo expo today - this being shortly after I decided that digital photogoraphy isn't the way to go. These are digital, and the ones I took in film are probably terrible. Still, I am converted.
