The Inspiration desk

What is this blog about? In a nutshell, it's about black and white darkroom photomontage. Every few weeks, a new image with a few words about it, kinda poetic, philsophical, metaphysical, something like that.

An abandoned weathered desk in the middle of nowhere, hasn't been occupied in a very long time, it awaits a user, a student perhaps. There are stars descending from the sky, & birds flying above, a way of saying 'take flight!? explore!?', they hover over the desk... to protect it? To make sure it is noticed?
Any of these could be true. If you approach, will they attack you as in an Alfred Hitchcock movie?...
Or will they circle 'round your head...in some kind of empathy?
Your guess is as good as mine.
If you can find an impromptu seat of any sort, pull it on up, set yourself down, and see what happens.

 Breakfast


'Breakfast' - a curious word isn't it? a combination of two others. A 'fast' being a going without food overnight, a break being... well, a break in the fast. You wake up hungry. Coffee, tea, milk, juice. Eggs, sausage, bacon, perhaps some potato, fried up crispy and brown. Or if you do it California style? some chorizo and refried beans. A little cilantro w/ the beans, please. Some hot sauce in there, add it to any of the aforementioned.
And let me add extra sugar to that coffee, senorita.
The day before you is a desert, an empty slate, ready for your writing. So go at it.
