Some news – I have just started to think about compiling a small book. I hope to have it published by this time next year. Before the world ends.
Also, this image is from a new process I have been experimenting with: extracting the negative from instant film.
Taken in Seattle, Washington, on the first day of winter.

I see that with some images you set to texts, even poetry. I’m a novice at this so I don’t know how it works, but if print editions of the image ‘years end’ are available, I’m inquiring. For a long time I’ve been looking for a painting or photograph that connects with the mood of Wallace Steven’s poem ‘The Snow Man’ and I see and feel it with this photograph. I understand as the artist if you do not wish it to be seen in this way you may not wish to sell a print, if available. But, for consideration, here’s the poem. Though of course no literal snow, the photograph dovetails emotionally for me, particularly the first and last stanzas.
Thank you for your time.
****************************
The Snow Man
One must have a mind of winter
To regard the frost and the boughs
Of the pine-trees crusted with snow;
And have been cold a long time
To behold the junipers shagged with ice,
The spruces rough in the distant glitter
Of the January sun; and not to think
Of any misery in the sound of the wind,
In the sound of a few leaves,
Which is the sound of the land
Full of the same wind
That is blowing in the same bare place
For the listener, who listens in the snow,
And, nothing himself, beholds
Nothing that is not there and the nothing that is.
- Wallace Stevens
