leftovers


Honestly this is a bit how I'm feeling at the moment. It's amazing how one moment I can be feeling like everything is going great and then in the space of a few hours it can all turn. It doesn't necessarily mean that things have changed, more that it's my perspective of things that has changed. But it makes me think of the lyrics of one of my much-loved bands tunes (Lamb)

"some people turn to pills and things
to help them through the day
to take them up or down or just
to ease the blues away
but me i really want to feel
the ups and downs of life so real
happy or sad emotions reign
my tears flow just the same"

Anyhow, for quite some time our Siamese cat would kill a bird, then leave it lying around, uneaten. It seemed like such a waste of a life to me, for something to be killed just to be used as play thing. All though I'd rather she didn't kill them at all, if she is going to kill them, I wanted her to at least eat it! So anyway, perhaps she does listen to me after all, as this was the gift I was left a couple of days ago. Quite beautiful, in a macabre kind of way.

The devil you know



Here is the aformentioned image (as taken for me by Andy as I couldn't make it to the show) from the Dark exhibition which closed last week, titled the devil you know.

'sometimes I feel possessed
and the most dangerous thing around me
is me
why do I do
these crazy things
better I suppose
the devil I know
or do I really
know me at all'

angel -

As I mentioned in one of my earlier posts, there is something about gravestone markers that I am attracted too, especially at present, or so it seems anyway. If I didn't feel so guilty about photographing them (with originality in mind that is not graveyard guilt) I would likely photograph them a whole lot more. Perhaps I should anyway? On the other hand, perhaps I'll move on, I'll wait and see. Here is one I am planning on printing, it has a very ethereal feel to it that I like.

The return

Well I'm back in Aotearoa now, and I thought this was an appropriate image to celebrate being back in kiwi land.


Just a quick reminder that 'Dark' the latest show on at Thermostat gallery in Palmerston North is still on, it runs till the 19th of July. I have a nice peice in the show taking on my interpretation of the theme 'Dark'. A must see!
