one of the first images i shot of my wife in 2005. we both appear in this photograph. today ive been organising photographs to send far away and editing a report. i dont know where to send it. so it shall probably be wasted. i titled an image boy in water. its an old set of words i used for a short or long time that came from a dream of floating in silver cloud water. it was the most comfortable place. soma fm for this evening. sleep time.

daily weather report

today: occasional strong breeze. slightly overcast in the morning but clearing. patches of cloud remain. ground still slightly damp from rain last night but drying. when the sun comes out it is bright but still cool due to the breeze. a pleasant temperature. colours not yet heavily saturated.

daily weather report

today: thick but bright clouds hovering low over the ground, occasionally dropping showers of rain. a cool breeze moving the clouds along. looks like it will clear up during the day. the ground is wet from the rain over night and showers this morning. [all images with weather reports taken on day of report]

anyone can answer a phone

its ok to be without work when the sun is shining and the sky is blue and there are colours blooming. i lay looking upwards watching insects and clouds. yesterday i made a photograph. i will print some work next week to send away. if i was working i couldnt print, nor could i have taken a photograph yesterday. but i would have money. and i would be more useful to everyone. i guess i shouldnt worry about it, but i 'should'. something i think i may think about is where arts worth comes from. its originality, its depth, its relevance to society and its ideas at a particular time, its exclusivity, its location...? im sure it was discussed over the last few years. something beautiful: no-one else can do what you do.

La Veneziana

having just finished reading the short story La Veneziana, i was excited. here is a beautiful story. i think you should read it. it is posted here: la veneziana. i want to say more about it but its useless. it is by nabokov and it is exquisite.
