from yesterday’s walk on the east side. i guess i won’t publish the portrait of the dead raccoon in the street. (not on the east side, but near the river). i have been wanting to make portraits of dead wild animals for years (roadkill, if one wishes to be precise), but of course it seems sort of creepy and i have never stopped on the edge of the road and Done It (yet). i don’t want mashed and mangled creatures, but only the ones who seem to have been tossed from life to the edge of the road. sometimes their poses are so dramatic and passionate. i don’t know why i am fascinated. but the raccoon looks rather beautiful. i just might.
lately i seem to have started looking at things differently. composing with my eye. arranging. it doesn’t always work. and sometimes i am the only one to notice the difference. but it amuses me.
