Morning path

A temporarily cleared path in an autumn wood. Soon there will be more sticks and leaves. For now, there is a clear path for jogging and contemplative walking

I use and recommend Artmill (artmill.com), based in Chicago. Specifically, their flush mount product. Good luck.

A friend and I went out on an evening kayaking expedition on the Connecticut River, to see the moon rise over the water. We got a bonus shooting star out of the adventure. He saw it in real-time. I discovered it later, while editing my photos.

In fact, Murmur would make it into my top four “desert island” albums by any band:
1.) Murmur
2.) Velvet Undrground: Velvet Underground
3.) Joni Mitchell: Blue
4.) My Bloody Valentine: Loveless

I side with Mike for the first two.
1.) Murmur
2.) Automatic For The People
3.) Reckoning

Trace Meek @tracemeek.com · Sep 9

Correct. 🥰

Fascinating and soothing electric guitar + tape loop performance by Portland, Oregon-based Marcus Fischer. Also love the raw industrial ambience of the space.
