sweet lode, this comes up as 12/21/69, when i was 10 years old! i took up my other camera, perfectly preserved in the clutter of my studio, and this was on the memory card, along with many pictures of fen. weird lode, gives me that funny feeling in my groin, gnome sane, honey girl. i made it so, somehow, in my ignorance and my forgetting, and something else i can't put my finger on: the mystery. i think the photo is from a yard sale and the painting is by my decaying front window in the wan courtyard light, of a dying whale.
