Oh happy days! Excellent record.
photographs, mainly.
A week’s worth of work, 5x7 tintypes that have been scanned and blown up. Looking very good indeed.
Wet plates scanned and printed
Jewelry stand full of beauties by my talented friend and amazing teacher Jesa Marshall (stands made by equally talented husband Al). The new collection is almost ready and it’s a goody.
Our beautiful stands made by Al.
Me he sentado a mitad de la Tierra,
amor mio, a mitad de la vida,
a abrir mis venas y mi pecho,
a mondarme en granada viva,
y a romper la caoba roja
de mis huesos que te querian.
I have sat down in the middle of the Earth,
my love, in the middle of my life,
to open my veins and my chest,
to peel my skin like a pomegranate,
and to break the red mahogany
of these bones that loved you.
~ excerpt taken from the poem “La Abandonada” by Gabriela Mistral
