Walking Sideways Seeing Red
Tortoise-like getting myself upright again...
A precarious balance this
walking a fine line business,
one foot in front of other 'tis
at times equilibrium bootless...
Breakneck a step lands amiss
suddenly sideways you lose footing artless,
then artfully rocking hard like a tortoise
you upright self to restore compass...
Though landing on feet is braveness,
the spirit is transposed nonetheless...
perspective and color forever redressed.

Architectonic
Inserting nature on the structural...
These are not my usual style of photographs and I'm uncomfortable with them for several reasons although I think their composition is somewhat decent. My discomfort lies in I have always disliked the architecture of this building finding it rather cold, fortress like and foreboding especially since it is a hospital. Also I am not drawn to photograph direct line structures preferring irregular buildings that have been grooved and changed by time and that have some landscape intertwined lending an element of nature. Here is an image with blemishes, flaws and all, of the best I can imagine a minimalist black and white photographer might take that is definitely not my customary photograph.
Fundamentally with the exception of utility poles and wires I much prefer to have natural objects as the subject of my pictures that I then post process into visual art. Most of all I suppose the real reason I am not comfortable with these photos is I have spent a good part of the week at this hospital visiting my sister who is a patient there. It is normal for me to always take pictures of what catches my eye around me but this time it was very often a mechanism of stress relief. Nonetheless here is the image of a cold stark building that I felt compelled to insert an element of nature to somehow make it seem a little more earthly with some sense of humanity.
