just unframed and photographed these pieces from the early 80's. many of my early work are on "slides". dusty, deteriorated and more of an expense with time and money in converting to disk than I've cared to play with. what will artists and photo nostalgiacs (nouns) be facing when disks are outdated with technological advances in a few years? POOF!!! as our economic, lifestyle, personal perceptions and well being get down with the new times emerging...
life takes us in spiraling circles, some last a day, a week, the yearly ones like from March to March, etc. I'd just dropped out of the School of Visual Arts in pro test of Amerika and was living communally and illegally in a loft below Canal St on the West Side, on Greenwich St.  A high priced district today. The Twin Towers were just being constructed. We used to sit out on the empty streets at night with the other homeless folk singing songs, telling stories and staying warm with a fire, heisted food goods, wine and psychedelics large and small...
Being in a spiral I'm hoping that if I return to that scenario it will be in a more temperate zone...
Nothing like a good morning fantasy to start the day with.
and then there are the Nature Spirits...

snow spirits landscape                  9.5" x 16.5"                  pastel on paper

spirit with the land scape             13" x 18"             charcoal on paper

spirit trees land scape              14" x 17"              charcoal on paper

Its just plain awesome...

... those indelible life experiences! Somewhere in our brain there is a key/code to getting over 

them. A test for sure! Am thinking indelibility is an illusion we hang onto for some reason, 

or, lack of. 

Speaking of; have discovered my new state of the art Mac does not translate my old Mac 

computers .cwk (claris works) files. Say huh! Was on the phone last night w/Apple techies? 

trying to resolve. Downloaded for 1 1/2 hrs a writing program that might open them. It did not. 

Still ringing in my ears (the inverse side of terrific.) is "if that doesn't work I don't know" - 

Apple techy. This morning am assembling my megaeraser and preparing, gently, cramming it 

into my ear, ahem! Any one out there who's aced this test I can copy from? Cackling like a bird 

on a tight rope! and attempting to lol :)
