Recalling January.

Try as I might to

lift these weights of the past

to look ahead

to

lightness

to falling up

a likeness

to smiles like skylines

and bright eyes.

A set of limbs that welcome home.

To distance

measured in minutes

not weeks

or messages held in palm.

It's been a long time coming

from end to end.

Ends meet

we arrive somewhere in

between.

I raced to the airport

for a kiss like catharsis.

He put words in my mouth

and thoughts in my head,

brought down his own creation.

Make me no promises.

Put forth words into action,

or render useless.

The truth is

I've been waiting

for you to let the light in.

Where we meet is

where the lightness begins.

Paradise Springs

I could make an entire album composed of photos of Luke

being caught off guard at this point in time.

Spring cleaning.

I had the words
spelled out
for you,

but couldn't

speak.
Sentiments
reduced to
nervous
stutters
on your machine.

Believe me.

I

tried.
You simply refused
to see.
You've always been

so ignorant,
naive child.
Erase me,

I'm gone.

In the long run,
I hope you're happy.
________It hurts my heart.

.

In the car you
exposed
an entire roll of film,

lost exposures of
mangled toes,

and the negatives
in a mess on the floor,

I threw away.

You destroyed and nearly lost
your favorite pair of shoes,

I can barely salvage my new boots.

Even as you laid in the tall grass,

and I
looked to the moon.

A blank roll from the one hour photo
left you without
proof.

Imperfect as it is,
the time spent has more worth

when this night ends,
when it comes down to it.

Found.

Pictures from December that I never got around to editing until now.

Playing with light transitions and color fades

Alec Soth

I fall in love with his work time and time again.

"I love the idea of borderlines-of walking a tight rope.

This is the best place to make pictures"-A.S.

I have my camera back, a brand new one actually-compliments of Best Buy.

I've been studying and playing with night photography and the abstraction of light.

Pictures to come soon.

Oops.

My camera took a swim in the river.

3 weeks until I get it back from Geek Squad :(
