On the Out

Swallow resume: Will fly for bugs; won't pose for photographs. Full stop... never.

Taken: 07/27/2011 in Park City, UT. Swallows were everywhere at the lake, but the only thing harder than ignoring their flits in and out was capturing their flits in and out. They are magnificent and fast. Not interchangeably.

Not Obsessed

The pelican patrols his domain. Aware and unaware of the awesome travails to come. Metaphor not met before. His pet troll tame 'neath the waters, not disturbing a soul. And he is hardy. Hardly flapping. Not flappable.

Taken: 07/12/2011 in Monterey Bay, CA. To and from the Aquarium the fellas kept me company. Sometimes one by one, sometimes in a string. It was impossible not to be awed by them. Even in their silent rauc, they were majestic.

In The Still Lie

Movement lies to Stillness, "I am adrift in dream."
Silence lies to Noise, "No one can see me."
The City lies to itself, "I am at once two."

Taken: Sometime shortly before 04/20/2010 across the street from Washington Cemetery. The streak of white is of cars on the run. The abandoned, still cars, are parked alongside the cemetery, awaiting their masters' returns.

This photo is one of my favorites and I feel that I will return to it again. It was taken on my Zenit 11 on ISO100 film, developed by hand and scanned in.

Color Corral

With pride, the flowers floor the many sides to silence.

Taken: 04/15/2010 at the now-destroyed Brooklyn College Community Garden in Brooklyn, NY. Unfortunately the many petals here cast their ballots in the wrong election. They were removed with the rest of the greenery. The flowers were a genuine carpet of beauty.

Round Up

All flight took steps. First step was to look up, the second to hunker down. The brandished quills scare some to ground, to seed.

Taken: 04/30/2011 in Chesea, Manhattan, NY. At the New Amsterdam bicycle show, the staircase was the artery that connected three full floors of hipsters and other bike lovers.

Looking Up

Things are looking up for ants everywhere. First palm trees then giant sequoias. All things will be brought down to scale.

Breaking new ground is never easy. Harder still when you're raising twins--they never seem to agree on anything.

Taken: 04/24/2011 in Glendale, Queens, NY. The soil beneath my feet was rather ripe with options. I've never caught a plant at the earliest stages so I thought I'd make a play for it.

Red in, red out.

I stream with abandon; alas, levitation is not my plight.
I bend light; my color curves the wrought space.



Taken: 11/5/2010. I was working hard for an effect. Luck came in the form of one red bug. This Volkswagen Beetle slowed its scurry just long enough for me to capture its redness.

To Day:

My cart runneth over
My foot.
My fleet has set sail.

Deliver me from this
Draw[l].

Taken: 06/21/2010 in New York, NY. Towing, with dispensed emotion, indispensable products to, "Despensable Corp." The Empire is pleased.

Less Yam More Knot

Tuck and roll, my friend. Nigh a night is tumble free.

Taken: 02/03/2011 in Brooklyn, NY.
