some things from the kitchen

Posted by – October 18, 2009

The afternoon sun, the dishwashing, the distractions.
This is how soap bubbles fit together. This is framed Big on the wall at home.
There’s a lotta stuff on the wall at home…BZ has plans to find an audience for this stuff.
I just have plans to hang out & play with a camera.
I hope that’s gonna work out for us

This started out washing dishes in front of the kitchen sink: Soap Bubbles.

As long as we’re still in the kitchen, here’s some out-of-focus coffee.
Afternoon coffee, sun just -so- just long enough to grab a camera before the coffee filtered through.
I’ve developed an appetite for out-of-focus moments anymore….

Just a simple pot to cook in.
For reference, I call it an Eggpan.
It has been totally rehabilitated & remains in use.
I think my mother got it from her mother.
Family history has lots of interesting small & large near-disasters in the kitchen
as well as a few cautionary tales of how the house burned down.
Distractions & innate distractability led to this.

It’s not about art: it’s opportunism…

’cause he so long dead.

but i do it anyway.

Red Church posting
might be a regular event.
It’s long been
a common local sport & destination.

a little rain

Posted by – October 16, 2009

It was raining & i was in the garage with the door cracked at the bottom for the cats & from the back of the garage the reflections off the puddle splash trying to get under the door caught my eye. Lotsa things do. There wasn’t enough light to get good, so i had to tweak them pretty hard to make them make sense. & then just barely.

I’ll get another lens someday soon & let you know.

  • “There is no there there” appears in Gertrude Stein’s Book _Everybody’s Autobiography_. When Stein returned to California on her lecture tour to the United States in the 1930s, she wanted to visit her childhood home in Oakland, CA. She records that she could not find the house. Hence, “there is no there there.” –Sonja Streuber
