flannery imagining "the misfit" - age 2-3

This is a photo of Flannery O'Connor at the wee age of two or three. Yes, it makes me grin the size of Texas. There is a new biography of sorts by Brad Gooch drably titled "Flannery: A Life of Flannery O'Connor." There are highlights of her teaching a chicken to walk backward as a child, her peacock obsession, and the funny fact that priests would cross themselves after passing in front of her house after the release of "Wise Blood." She was a private woman and so, I want to know as much as I can gleam about her. Someone please buy it for me. For now, I am reading snippets of the book via reviews which is not advisable but free.

All photos were hand made using a Holga camera and so, those little red bursts are light leaks which is all part of the form.

As the days get colder, the flea is departing Ft. Greene for Dumbo. Here is a photo of a dress taken as the sun had most definitely bid goodnight. This is no flash, steady hand.

good writing

I can only hope to write sentences this good...

"The important thing, rather than the subject, was the conversation itself, the quick agreements, the slow nods, the weave of different memories; it was like one of those Panama baskets shaped underwater around a worthless stone."

An amazing line from "The Happiest I've Ever Been" by John Updike.
