OK, so the day gave me a nice coda of golden light but I'm still holding out for the warm beach…

Shell Study, 2009

After a few days of gloriously sunny autumn weather, we have moved into a bitter, leaden misery. It's unseasonably cold with seemingly endless waves of gusty, pelting nor'easter rain for three days now & a prediction of two more. I keep daydreaming of someplace warm ~ infused with golden light.

Preferably with a beach…

Teutonic Study #5, 2009

Personally, I think this would make a great cover for a box set of Wagner's Ring cycle.
(Note, there is a copyright on this ~ if it shows up on a box set, you're gonna owe me…)

Another memento mori…

We've lost Irving Penn. He was part of my foundation. In the fifties & sixties I began to not just look but really see by looking at his photographs as I secretly devoured Vogue magazine…

It's summed up better than I could ever manage here & here.
