your feet

When I cannot look at your face
I look at your feet.
Your feet of arched bone,
your hard little feet.
I know that they support you,
and that your sweet weight
rises upon them.
Your waist and your breasts,
the doubled purple
of your nipples,
the sockets of your eyes
that have just flown away,
your wide fruit mouth,
your red tresses,
my little tower.
But I love your feet
only because they walked
upon the earth and upon
the wind and upon the waters,
until they found me.

-Pablo Neruda

what an amazing day today — I signed up to go back to school in the spring (yes, I’m going to finish my degree, dammit!) and then when I got home I discovered I’d made my first sale over at istockphoto.com. Apparently, someone actually had use for a picture of a burnt hot dog.. hahaha!

nice! and it’s friday to boot!

yes, i am smitten

angel island, ca

so yes, i spent a gorgeous afternoon on angel island last saturday, mostly to see what kind of imagery i might pull from that rather dry piece of rock jutting out of the north bay {gawd, did that sound pretentious or what?}

anyway, i did get a behind-the-scenes tour of the old POW barracks, and really enjoyed photographing some of the artifacts from that time period during the 40s when angel island was nothing more than a lightly disguised prison.

there is an aching tension in those walls, even now, and i wished i were fluent in japanese — there are poems etched deep into the wood here… painted over again and again, but still thoroughly legible. i find that quite endearing. the souls are long since gone, but their words remain.

the photo below is my favorite from the shoot, though i hope to post more here as the day progresses.

hope you are all well,
c
