Sticks and stones

I unloaded my rocks from the trunk last night while Zozo “helped.” First she decided to take a walk in the general direction headed away from me (of course). I let her get to the end of the sidewalk where she was turning to head down the driveway before calling her back. She turned and gave me a look that said, “You’re going to have to entice me to return.” I picked up a stick off the ground and held it out. Turns out, that wasn’t the brightest idea.

Stormy lens caps

Spectacularly creepy skies this morning…I love storms. Although now the thrill of a good storm is tinged with the dread of losing power, since it happens so often…

Diane Arbus

I’m reading the autobiography of Diane (pronounced Dee-yan) Arbus right now. She’s a very famous photographer who did most of her work in the 60s. She started out shooting fashion with her husband, Allan, but then branched out on her own. Her speciality was shooting “freaks.” Transvestites, nudists, circus freaks like the guy whose hands grew out of his shoulders (he was called Seal Boy) and the hairy woman and the man that was over seven feet tall. That sort of thing. Ol’ Diane was pretty messed up.
