Today is one of those long work days where catastrophe strikes and I'm like what just happened. Its like a train comes screaming through my office and hits me then leaves me alone to pick up the pieces. Sigh.. Oh well its work. It happens.

Other than that, all my dreams are a fingertip away, its just a matter of moving forward and moving towards them sometimes easier said than done. I was asked by a body builder if I would do a 3-4 photo spread in color and a 3-4 photo spread in black and white. I am having dinner with him and his wife tonight to explore that possibility, seeing my shooting space, etc. Should be fun. I am looking forward to it. Should be fun. Today is an E.E Cummings day. So for your enjoyment...


somewhere i have never travelled, gladly beyond
any experience,your eyes have their silence:
in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me,
or which i cannot touch because they are too near

your slightest look will easily unclose me
though i have closed myself as fingers,
you open always petal by petal myself as Spring opens
(touching skilfully,mysteriously)her first rose

or if your wish be to close me, i and
my life will shut very beautifully ,suddenly,
as when the heart of this flower imagines
the snow carefully everywhere descending;
nothing which we are to perceive in this world equals
the power of your intense fragility:whose texture
compels me with the color of its countries,
rendering death and forever with each breathing

(i do not know what it is about you that closes
and opens;only something in me understands
the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)
nobody,not even the rain,has such small hands.
