Hey there friends and fellow photographers and writers,
I just wanted to be in touch to let you know I have a new photo book, published just last week in Tokyo by Neutral Colors.
It's called Middle Life Notes, and it comprises 26 images with 12 waka poems and an essay, about how I came to be me, here, now, at this point in my life. It's a bit more personal than Sunlanders, as the poems and images alike reveal somewhat autobiographical elements of my life. The images are all of Japan, shot with a Diana f+ and were made into darkroom color prints before being scanned. The waka (which are similar to haiku, but have a 5/7/5/7/7 scheme) were printed with a Risograph. Both the waka and the essay include Japanese translations.
It was published by Neutral Colors, by an editor who has an enormous number of contacts in Tokyo, but among all the talented photographers he could have chosen to launch his new line, it was my honor to be his first selection. I really am happy with the way the book turned out and I hope to share it with you.
The published edition is 333 copies, and I will be personally sell 111 of them. So before announcing on Instagram and Twitter I wanted to reach out to you first. It costs just ¥3200 with a small postage handling fee (¥250 in Japan to ¥500 further abroad), which is $30, with a $2-$5 post fee. I'll make almost no profit on sales-- making books is a labor of love, and I am in love!
If you are keen, I'd be happy to mail out a signed copy once I hear back from you. Please send me a DM and let me know your physical address. For those of you who bought Sunlanders, and will buy this new book, I am so grateful for your support.

I suppose this could be the cover of a Blue Note issue, one of those classic jazz albums produced by the creative people at Blue Note Records back in the hard bop days. At least that's what it reminded me of when I was getting into this. Perhaps something by their main tenor man Hank Mobley or their brilliant trumpeter Lee Morgan ... ?

The cardinal is the one bright note in our late-winter landscape here in New York. He is a very welcome sight at the busy bird feeder. Here, he is patientoy waitng his turn, perched in a large bush.

At the end of the trip as far as we get on the Gunbarrel, the next day we walked ahead about four miles to where we found the tracks in the mud made by the vehicle we heard revving in the distance today. We had met him before, John Walters, see trip notes by Mary for 8th July. He had camped about 3 miles from us, the fire was still warm.
We walked up the track to see how bad the mud was and reached the point where the Land Rover ahead had been winching along in the wheel rusts dragging his diff and axle.
He had had pulled small trees sideways in the wet off to the side and laid a corduroy of sticks in the wheel ruts to progress…
We got a gallon of water from a puddle and walked back to the others. We had been away for three hours!
We could not get John's Land Cruiser close enough to pull us out, so we used our small 7 to one hand pulley with about seven people pulling.
As we got the Kombi spinning and reversing out the people pulling had to run 7 times faster than the Kombi until they fell over backward in the mud.
The cable tied across the front on the roo bar was a stay from a yacht given to us by Bob and Anne Crowe's dad for the trip. We later wrapped it around the bumper on #Smoky60Series where it travelled #roundaustraliawithspelio for the next twenty years…
But we were out and managed to find some firm ground off the track to camp and have dinner and a rest.
The end of our trip North of Giles to Alice Springs..

My favorite old cameras have notes on them left by the photographers who used them as tools, not talismans and fetishes.

Culzean Castle is located near Maybole on the Ayrshire coast of Scotland. It is the former home of the Marquess of Ailsa, the chief of Clan Kennedy, but is now owned by the National Trust for Scotland. The clifftop castle lies within the Culzean Castle Country Park and is opened to the public since 1987 An illustration of the castle has featured on the reverse side of five pound notes issued by the Royal Bank of Scotland.
In 1945, the Kennedy family gave the castle and its grounds to the National Trust for Scotland (thus avoiding inheritance tax). In doing so, they stipulated that the apartment at the top of the castle be given to General of the Army Dwight D. Eisenhower in recognition of his role as Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces in Europe during the Second World War. The General first visited Culzean Castle in 1946 and stayed there four times, including once while President of the United States
Ever wanted an outfit but just never got around to getting it as there were many other outfits you wanted more? There are SO many Francie outfits I wanted that ‘Note The Coat’ always got passed over for something else, but I always really loved its simple, clean lines and that wonderful bark-like texture of the crepe fabric! I also LOVE those short 60’s double breasted coats, and the fact that its white reminds me of something that Courregés or even Valentino would have done, as in that famous all-white collection he designed in 1968. This coat of course, was released a year earlier, as Francie was always a trendsetter! I decided to go ‘all-white’ here and do a typical 60’s head-to-toe monochromatic look on my 1966 bend-leg Francie, using the stylish white cotton hat from the later ‘That Girl’ doll from 2002 and the white pleather pants from ‘Leather Limelight’. She also borrowed Tressy’s camera for the day, as I needed something black, white and graphic swinging from her arm! I may do another look without the pants and substitute some space age white Mod boots next…
