Jan. 22nd Norwich Ct Blizzard Watch.

Jan 23rd after the snow

I’m not that person anymore.

Out in the new fallen snow, the driver to all the beautiful places, Adventures. I watch through the window on the screen. I’m not that person anymore. Peace, Justice, Antiwar. I can’t separate the consumer from the artist. I’m not that person anymore. “Look what’s happening out in the streets” Nothing! It’s an emailution Volunteers in easy charge card chairs. I never was that person. When did activism become so singular? So elite so anti social. I signed an email petition Click Click I’ve done my part. Delete Delete and your liberal senators aide has done theirs. See you in the shallow end of the gene pool. Red State, Blue State, Purple State, Das State, My State, I’m not that State anymore. Something must be done. Done not Spun I’m not that person anymore! Who am I?

Images made digitally film soon, pretty new to Digital B+W but beginning to get some I like but contrast is lacking till I take them into PS. Used to control contrast by film choice and filters now there is an app for that LOL.

“Flow River Flow Wherever that River Flows That’s Where I Want to Be.”

The Ballard of Easy Rider, The Byrds. As I sat by the Deschutes River Sunday listening to the river rush by carrying me to relaxation the Byrds song rolled through my mind.

_DSC0092 S30 lt shadows 25 Tumwater Falls Family Trail 5-17-15Thoughts on the river, 

Watching the river flow, so inspired by music my images are my songs “flow river flow let your waters wash down take me from this road”

Love written on the wall “To the Most Perfect Boy ever” scribed in chalk a lasting statement of love to be washed away by the next rain or in this case by park maintenance before she is finished.

_DSC0081 Ss30 Const+20 Drk+20 from RAW 5-17-15Love portraits in the sun, a pregnant women on the bridge, a couple holding a flag as they hug, small family groups. Yesterday I was a member of a small family group out with Kirsten and Inara.

_DSC0032 S15 K an I Lacey Fun Fair 5-16-15Love, today it is just me the sound of the river, I scratch my head and think of a time so many years ago my love told me that was a sign of stress. The 80’s when love came easy and left the same way. I listen to the river and wonder about love.

_DSC1030 S30 Drk10 Cnts 50 5-11-15Me I’ll watch the river flow and sing my songs of love and life. Flow River Flow, “Yes the river knows flow river flow on and on it goes…” [The Doors] Flow River Flow.   peace pjc
