Dog Day Afternoon

"Dog on Beach, Grand Turk 2013"
from the series "CRUISE"

I had walked this beach, about two miles round trip, once before on this island.

There isn't much there, except tourist shops, a bar, the pool and of course the beach. On this day, I made two nice images and one of them was of a dog.

A Marriage of Sorts

If the mississippi should wash me away 
Down to new orleans 
Maybe someday in my dreams 
I'd wake feeling the sweat 
From the gulf in my mouth 

On a carousel I can never tell 
My direction home 
Spinning down a hole 
I'm losing all control 
I'm down to the center of the earth *

*Lyrics HOOVER DAM, Sugar/Bob Mould

After I made this image, I wondered what could a 17 year old boy know about such a profound notion and I realized he could very well know a lot.

About once a season, I attend an LSU football game on the sidelines. I find what goes on around the stadium, as interesting as what happens on the field.
