to settle doesn’t have to mean to “settle for less”, it can also mean to quiet, to relax into a space, a time, a life. to accept what is really there instead of fighting for, or against, what we think is there, should be there, could be there, or not. that’s been the theme lately. settling into my life, and by settling, stilling, and by stilling, opening, and by opening, walking through doorways and gates I never imagined could come into being.

two images, created within minutes of each other, followed by a little post processing, and such a different feel to them. I recall how I felt when I found this piece of peeling wood, someone’s home restoration garbage left in the alley. On one side grasses blowing in spring’s first warm breaths, and on the other decay, and a riot of color, more edge, more drama.
On the one side I stopped and grew quiet, watched the grasses flow in the wind, felt myself ease up, soften, slow and relax.
When I moved to the other side, saw color and form and angles, I found myself moving faster, my eyes darting from one composition to another, breaths growing shallow as I balanced over the wood to get that one shot that would stand out among all the others.
one subject, two images, reflections of internal and external diversity.

Early this morning I dreamed my father had died. There was a call from my mother, and hurried travel plans, and calls to employers, and do I drive or fly, and wondering how it would be to see my father in a casket. All hurried detachment and then that moment, sitting at a table somewhere, the tidal wave of emotion rushing up to swallow me.

This dream is only a dream, for now. My parents, both of them are in their 80s, have familial longevity propelling them, and yet.

That moment is walking towards me, that moment when the phone will ring, I can almost hear it in the distance, and change as I’ve never known in this life, will greet me.

And there will be phone calls to employers, and hurried travel plans, and do I drive or fly, and wondering how it will be to see the body of that parent in a casket, all hurried detachment, and then that moment, sitting at a table somewhere or moving from one room to another, the tidal wave of memories and emotions will claim me.

I never thought I was going to do one of these (I hated painting still natures in art class, even more than I hated painting in general – which I did because I’ve never been able to draw anything beyond an awfully misshapen tree), but I was up early today so I dropped by my grandma’s, and there we were, talking about life, when I saw three totally shootable tomatoes sitting on her countertop. Can you believe these things grow in her backyard? I amuse myself; I love shooting living things, but I can’t make them grow for the life of me.

I burned the background a little bit in Photoshop, to make the fruits stand out (yeah, I’m one of those dorks who know tomatoes are actually fruits, not vegetables). I don’t have a DSLR, but I get by all the same.
