Trouble in Purgatory

Well I’m back on the couch and or pulling vampire all nighters at the studio. This year is like last year and like the decade before that. They say the definition of insanity is repeating the same behavior and expecting different results… Guess I know some crazy people… but joy joy the cog has arisen Christ/Phoenix-like from the blood and ashes. Viva La Cog!

Memorial Daze

Back to work after a blaze of strange daze. Glad to be back at the grind stone, but here’s some memories and memorials to the strains of The Kinks, “Days”.

Sakura Matsuri

Well the rain put an quick mono no aware ending to the cherry blossoms out front. Now there is pink carpeting all up the street. At least I got this one snap and then Sunday I went in the rain and mud to the festival at BBG. It’s sadder in the rain and I think that makes it more Beautiful and more Japanese.

Bridgeart

I don’t know who’s work this is, but I’ve seen it on the B.Burgh Bridge for a couple of years and it also shows up on sidewalks of Billyburgh too. I just love it.

Fine Art

Saw an old man posing in a second story window facing out on Flatbush Avenue. He reminded me of a naked Walt Whitman. Set up my small painting studio at frost and on my wander over bridges to shoot Manhattan, I saw this bit of street art which made me drop my pack and pull out the still camera. I think its on Kent by the water in Williamsburgh.
