I always hit the brakes when I’m scrolling thru the gallery and come to this image. It is so dang cool. I just like everything about it, especially the kid with the binky in the preacher pose, not to mention his…friend
Thanks, Wendell. It’s funny how this image resonates with some people. David Scott Leibowitz chose it to be among a selection of my work for his upcoming book. As I explained to him, I got the shot of the child at the SF Museum of Modern Art—they have a system in the concourse on the ground floor where pin-spots from the ceiling track people walking across the floor in and out of the museum. It’s pretty cool. This little boy was with his dad. I snapped a few pictures. The “creature” is a sculpture of sorts in a nearby alley, part of a tableau, as I recall, by the entry of building somewhere south of Market. How I thought to put them together I don’t know. I did a lot of processing before bringing them into LoFi for the diptych. The final touch, which was essential, was to find a way to tie the images together, so, on a hunch, I took a picture of the Japanese paper & bamboo shade in my living room, processed it somehow & layered it in for the horizontal lines. It seemed to do the trick. Showed it to Maia Panos and she concurred immediately, so I was done.

Neon meate dream of a octafish … does it start at the bottom or does it start at the top?

A squid eating dough in a polyethylene bag is fast and bulbous. Got me?
