guitar on a chair

Sunny day, nice chair, no tweaks

I lived with an old Gibson j-50 for 30 years once. This is not that. Good, though…as Utah Phillips used to say…

I like these with lots of light & no tweaks. Tasty.

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

if you’re gonna be an artist around here, show me your Red Church.”

geoff wynne [bio /09]

grew up in rooms painted some kind of coffee and cream color
he added color to these walls as necessary
when he was a boy he had a pony
and a saddle
and acreage to roam
dirt the color of his bedroom walls
he fell in and out of love up and down California
high in the saddle of his poetic pony
he kept cats
he named them about situations more than things
