From my film archives, a mother loads a shopping cart with her two children as they prepare to go shopping. Scanned Tri-X negative. Shot in the early 1980s.
"When that day comes that I will die, dress me in the finest silk The colour of the evening sky.
As the sun sets west and reflects upon the sea
place me in a sailing craft carved from the finest teak
Surround me with all my memories of keepsakes and my written words.
And when the tide goes out you may set my sails pointed west
Shoot a flaming arrow as I drift away
To pierce the boat and set it afire
And consume me on my final journey
When the flame is extinguished, retrieve my ashes
And place them in an alabaster jar.
My life has always been mundane, I never lived to seize the day
My luck and judgements never meshed
My essence nor my core refreshed.
To take a trip in such a way
To be remembered on that day
Will seal the memory of my death
When I have breathed my final breath."
- Ralph Sergi
Painterly surreal image made from a passion flower photo.
In a world much too bright
with vibrancy and structure, I appear
opened . . . to show all who see me what I'm made of
too much for some, not enough for others
and just enough for those with whom I grow.

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.” - Robert Frost

“The desert and the ocean are realms of desolation on the surface.
The desert is a place of bones, where the innards are turned out, to desiccate into dust. The ocean is a place of skin, rich outer membranes hiding thick juicy insides, laden with the soup of being.
Inside out and outside in. These are worlds of things that implode or explode, and the only catalyst that determines the direction of eco-movement is the balance of water.
Both worlds are deceptive, dangerous. Both, seething with hidden life. The only veil that stands between perception of what is underneath the desolate surface is your courage. Dare to breach the surface and sink.” - Vera Nazarian

It was a dead hole, smelling of synthetic leather and disinfectant, both of which odors seemed to emanate from the torn scratched material of the seats that lined the three walls. It smelled of the tobacco ashes which had flooded the two standing metal ashtrays. On the chromium lip of one, a cigar butt gleamed wetly like a chewed piece of beef. There was the smell of peanut shells and of the waxy candy wrappers that littered the floor, the smell of old newspapers, dry, inky, smothering and faintly like a urinal, the smell of sweat from armpits and groins and backs and faces, pouring out and drying up in the lifeless air, the smell of clothes—cleaning fluids imbedded in fabric and blooming horribly in the warm sweetish air, picking at the nostrils like thorns—all the exudations of the human flesh, a bouquet of animal being, flowing out, drying up, but leaving a peculiar and ineradicable odor of despair in the room as though chemistry was transformed into spirit, an ascension of a kind,
…Light issuing from spotlights in the ceiling was sour and blinding like a sick breath.
There was in that room an underlying confusion in the function of the senses. Smell became color, color became smell. Mute started at mute so intently they might have been listening with their eyes, and hearing grew preternaturally acute, yet waited only for the familiar syllables of surnames. Taste died, mouth opened in the negative drowsiness of waiting.”
An abandoned hospital in the USA 2016
“So for now,
I will miss you like I’ll never see you again,
And the next time I see you,
I will kiss you like I’ll never kiss you again,
And when I fall asleep beside you
I will fall asleep as if I’ll never wake up again,
because I don’t know if I will.
I don’t know if I will. I Will Love You Like The World Is Ending” Charlotte Eriksson
