Rhythm of pews,If you were here yesterday, you already know that my friend @ehpem and I are taking an online photography class together this year. Our discussions of diptychs for class led us to recall a rain-soaked couple of days in Los Angeles, when we were attending a weekend workshop at the Los Angeles Center for Photography. And that led – as these things sometime do – to the idea that we should collaborate on a diptych.This tidy porch looksMy photographer friend @ehpem told me about a year-long photography class called “Gathering Light,” taught by photographer Laura Valenti. He thought maybe I’d like to take the class (he was already enrolled) and since he’s never steered me wrong (except for that one time) and because I needed some structure and direction this year, I signed up.Heavy window screenIn Texas, fireworks can legally be sold only during tightly-regulated times, leaving stands like this one to just, well, stand there for almost the whole year. They look pretty bleak without business but with the ever-present buy-1-get-1 offer. And on cold and icy days, they look additionally forlorn.I took a class at the Santa Fe Workshops 2014, and one afternoon I made this image from my room in the campus lodging. Today I found out that this image was accepted into the show “The Poetry of the Ordinary” at PhotoPlace Galleries; Douglas Beasley was the juror. Please see the link in my bio for the show; my image is in the online gallery section.Mrs. RobertsonI drive by this roadside memorial every day (that I work in my actual office) on the way home. One day, just before Christmas, there was a car parked near the marker and as I passed, I saw a woman getting some red plastic flowers out of the trunk of her car. I’ve seen many roadside markers and this was the only time I’d ever seen anyone leaving anything at one of them. It’s a bit of a mystery: many of the markers that I pass often have flowers or other decorations that are obviously new, or that change with the seasons, but I never seen it happening.You may already
I would put that on my wall.
And it would be happy to be there. (Email me – maybe we should do a photo swap?)
Maybe so. Look for an email in the near future.
I’ll be watching…!
