I have definitely been a bit obsessed with orange lately.

you know I do see that - the fracturing of our society getting worse everyday. that's one of the reasons why my art focuses on connection and humanness

damn that was heavy. we live in heavy times though, and this poem is, I think, about not feeling like I am standing up against it. that writing you shared is scarily applicable to today in America

I went a bit overboard taking #PHOTOS of the last night's #Sahara sunset! So, here's another ... It was lovely of the egret to come out for a little night fishing, exactly as I started taking snaps. I did have a heck of a time keeping all those horizontals straight tho! #NatureIsMagic #photographs

A landscape photograph in black and white. The frame is dominated by two vast expanses β€” a snow-covered plain filling the lower half, and an open sky filling the upper half. The sky darkens dramatically from pale gray at the horizon to near-black at the top edge, as if the atmosphere itself is pressing down. Across the middle of the frame, a flat horizon line stretches unbroken from edge to edge. At its center, a single snow-laden pine tree stands alone β€” the only vertical form in the entire image, the only interruption of the horizon, the only living thing visible. In the foreground, wind has flattened dry winter grass into the snow, leaving thin blades and small clumps scattered across the white surface, suggesting cold and exposure. The overall feeling is one of immense silence and space, a world reduced to its essential elements β€” sky, snow, one tree.

"Nothing"

One must have a mind of winter
And have been cold a long time
For the listener, who listens in the snow, And, nothing himself, beholds Nothing that is not there and the nothing that is.
β€” Wallace Stevens

I can't tell if what im doing is the right thing or not

I don't feel like im fighting enough
or that im active enough

I feel like im letting the world crumble around me

while I rot my brain
and masturbate the day away
and dribble in little trivial things

Closeup black and white image of dry thistle stems silhouetted against a cloudy sky. The stems have tiny thorns and dried leaves that have curled up. The thistle blossom closest to the camera is in focus while all the others (7 all together) are blurred due to the focal range. The stems seem to be flowing/swaying in a slow dance.

The Electric Lady
and
her warhorse.

The Almighty Mother
and
the woman
she's here
to lead.

She is the life
I drink.

I am the creature
she
embodiesβ€”

And she's sorry,
oh,
she's so sorryβ€”

but she still believes,
and
so
do I.

The Shoe

This is one of my favorite photos. When I found this shoe jammed into the bars of a window I couldn’t help but wonder what the story was behind it. How does a guy lose one shoe? It must have been one hell of a night!
