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, philosophical.

So here's this old battered sand-blasted book, lying in the sand at the beach. Are there stories here? Wisdom to be uncovered? You'll never know until you try and turn these pages... and they may crumble in your hand. The rocks/landscape the book leans against also tell stories, but they are much much longer ones - geology is about *long time*, millions of years.
*Read whatever you can*, no matter how it comes your way. You'll be glad you did.
Here's one last word or two, thanks to Rumi:
Oh, you don't know who Rumi was??
“Don't be satisfied with stories, how things have gone with others. Unfold your own myth.”
“Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing
and rightdoing there is a field.
I'll meet you there.
“What you seek is seeking you.”
“Dance, when you're broken open.
Dance, if you've torn the bandage off.
Dance in the middle of the fighting.
Dance in your blood.
Dance when you're perfectly free.”
“Forget safety.
Live where you fear to live.
Destroy your reputation.
Be notorious.”
“Set your life on fire. Seek those who fan your flames”
“Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing
and rightdoing there is a field.
I'll meet you there".
