Yesterday
was a missed connection
it sure should have been
your chipped tooth
wet eyes
thinning hair
still salty from the San Francisco air
lucky me tonight
that Currin opening
that coat check line

That’s how I turn from you
If ever a time
I don’t want
your Tito’s stammer
if ever a moment
you stumble from your slick perch
on the stairwell
above me
that time is now
It’s how one turns to two

This evening of the lunar eclipse
it seems right jumping into your Mark six
wind blew, thunder struck
I know
this has happened before
lightning chasing the clouds
electric grey
an inescapable shimmer in the distance
the Scarlet Macaw, room eight

Today, I was greeted at dawn with the first snow of the season. There was just enough light to catch the edges of the flakes, each one seemed to be illuminated from within.
It reminded me of my project about William Bartram, using mica to tell his story.

Driving through Middle-of-Nowhere, Italy, I discovered two forgotten gas pumps, their displays somehow still glowing.
A set of orange eyes looking back at the quiet road that led me there.

Surely there are others who are captivated by car washes like I am?
The garish colors.
The onomatopoeic typography.
The simple promise.

Somewhere in rural Georgia, someone in a cheap hotel also woke up to this.
It’s powerful to think about photography as a way of having a conversation with people I’ll never talk to.

I've been told countless times that humor is "hard" to do right in photography. I think if we pay attention, everyday humor is all around us.

In 2015, the SAAM exhibited Irving Penn: Beyond Beauty, and I still feel lucky to have seen it. As an artist, I think about the question: "How can disparate objects be used to evoke emotion unique to the combination?"
Below, a favorite still life from my book Ten Ten. #art #photography #bluesky.art

I’m interested in how the inaccessible becomes desirable. Glass, tape, paper: material on material that makes me want access.
