my pictures

are like Lego bits and glimpses
one journey, one page in a book, one day in a year
they don't say it all
like going for a walk on a Wednesday afternoon
they are a collection of moments caught when i was there
things i found and put in my pocket
places i noticed or chose to see
when time stood still long enough
and my camera remembered what i found
like bricks in a wall I stick them together
buildings rise on my paper
places I haven't seen before appear
I have reached my destination
the discovery ends here
I consider them found
and I am finished for the day

and the journey starts again
each day is a new day

here i am...

standing in this blank open space
white all around
no form no shape
not a dot in sight
blinding white
pure as snow
no idea where i will go
no focus no signs
but a journey in this strange land has begun
i have made my first mark
the paper is no longer all white
like a footprint in the snow
the damage is done

to be continued
my scribbling along...
