Der Hase (the rabbit)

Sat, 24 Apr 2010 02:34:33 -0800

I framed the rabbit off center and with space in front of it on purpose. I think if I centered it off center to the right, it would seem as though it was about to hop off the picture.

This was taken after one of the recent big snow storms. The snow was cleared into huge snow mounds, which reminded me of glaciers in Anarctica. The parking lot or "car park" is nearby on my daily walk route.

Lace Curtains

Wed, 9 Sep 2009 18:00:14 -0800

These are some lace curtains that somehow remind me of the song, "The Summer Wind". I've reprinted the beginning verse below.

The summer wind came blowin’ in, across the sea!
It lingered there to touch your hair, and walk with me!
All summer long we sang a song, and strolled the golden sand,
Two sweethearts and the summer wind!

Original Danish lyrics by
Hans Bradtke

The McDonough Memorial

Thu, 2 Oct 2008 02:26:00 -0800

Cemetery memorials seem to me, ironically to be the most forgotten places of artwork. I guess the reason is that people don't have time or the motivation to visit cemeteries.

Untitled Tombstone

Wed, 1 Oct 2008 04:11:00 -0800

Some of the very old grave markers that date back to the 1800's are so weathered and worn, that the date and names of the desceased are almost completely obliterated. The elements, acid rain, etc., have worn and will continue to wear away those whose loved ones attempted for future generations to remember forever.

The Dead are Safe

Sun, 28 Sep 2008 20:00:00 -0800

When you count up all the people that have ever died, it would be an incredibly large number. However, I think the greatest proportion of the dead have died only within the last few centuries.

From the Cemetery Series... Some of the headstones of this cemetery date back to the 1890's and earlier. This cemetery is in the middle of an unsafe neighborhood and so my fear did not emanate from the spirit world, but rather instead from the real world and and the living.

The New School

Wed, 17 Sep 2008 17:31:21 -0800

This is a school. The only thing is, it doesn't have it's name anywhere to be seen. It's almost as if it wants to remain anonymous. And so it shall.
