The view out our apartment window was always changing. To me, the weather had a big effect on how I percieved it day to day. This time, it filed itself in my mind’s memory along with images I’ve seen of Eastern Europe. The building he is exiting is 200 yrs old; in front of him is a new office building and modern cars. As this image ages, the differences will be less jarring but for the moment, he trudges between two worlds.

I stumbled upon this grave in NSW, Australia. I’ve included a close-up of the plaque. I was intrigued by the sad details of this little girl’s life, which consisted of little more than one Valentine’s Day. Her grave was clearly quite nice at one time with a little, white fence around it but was in dis-repair when I found it nearly 30 years later. I’ve often wondered about her family and the story surrounding this little grave with the big mood.

Another pull from the archives. Wandering behind an old church in New Zealand, I came across this grave. I’d been reading a lot of Edgar Allen Poe and various poets on love and death (must’ve been the age) and this seemed to fit.
