Heaven, the Force, magic…substitute as preferred

“The force that through the green fuse drives the flower
Drives my green age; that blasts the roots of trees
Is my destroyer.
And I am dumb to tell the crooked rose
My youth is bent by the same wintry fever.”
~ Dylan Thomas

Thanks mate Søren Kierkegaard wrote on walking “Above all, do not lose your desire to walk. Everyday, I walk myself into a state of well-being & walk away from every illness. I have walked myself into my best thoughts, and I know of no thought so burdensome that one cannot walk away from it. But by sitting still, & the more one sits still, the closer one comes to feeling ill. Thus if one just keeps on walking, everything will be all right.”

I’ve read this post so many times I feel obliged to comment on it. I am drawn to the way your words evoke the thrashing mental battle you had back in Bolivia, and I must say the images, with their skewed horizons and chaotic lines, complement this beautifully (and your bw conversions rock, dammit).It’s a mad journey you’ve brought us on here for this short duration.

But in all of that, saved, in part, by walking, one of life’s great gifts

These two images do pair up very well for exactly the reasons you mention. I’ve dropped in now and again to check in on what you were up to, and I have to say I think you have come a long way. You’ve laid it all out there, or nearly all of it, on this blog and the journey has been tremendous so far. Looking at your archive images and your portfolio galleries not only do you seem to be getting closer to the core of who you are as a photographer but your image making at editing skills are extremely good. Those portfolio galleries blew me away. Keep on keeping on. Keep making images, keep editing strong and tight, keep tinkering and playing with books and magazines. You’ve already gone far son, but it’s the tip of the iceberg, I think, for you.

Thanks buddy! Markie cuddles are special and there’s no where else I’d rather be right now than the Polaris. Would go tomorrow if my spaceship worked. But have a big trip in South America calling me
