Looking Glass Rock

It's all in the light. 




It's a palpable shift -- as Huxley notes in BRAVE NEW WORLD, unavailable in urbanity -- the bright holes in the inky blackness dim; color appears; smaller forms become distinct. Shadows deepen. 


The haziness of the stills taken with this camera evoke nostalgia. Their "instamatic" quality is reminiscent of images from my youth when I wore a 60-pd backback and traveled by foot and thumb.

  1. to me it looks homey, like if it is the lit up hole is the entrance of a home.

    1. Hmmm, that's very interesting. But actually, the hole is there in order to fit THIS

    1. Thank you! Thank you! I'm sorry!

      The story is told of a Russian emigre who made deliveries at the ceramics studio were Double El worked. He would sometimes stop to talk and one day disclosed that -- in America -- one really only needs two sentences. Michelle, always appreciative of accents and the wisdom of others, began repeating the first sentence to emphasize the wonderful expression of gratitude that precedes the apology -- thereby turning the sentences into a pithy rejoinder appropriate for occasions just such as this!

      Und Gesundheit!
