I remember you as rain-
that we split like droplets against the pavement
{with lips parted, teeth bared}
!THUNDER!
-in your throat, against my skin
manifesting within cloaked eyes
and gentle still, that pulsation
of words held deep and squeezing corners of eyes
{where tears might from}
MIGHT FLY.

brianna m. burnett
As chance would have it.. at the euphoric Maggie Taylor/Jerry Uelsmann lecture, I ran into a former grad student attending Tech at the same time I frantically completed my own undergraduate studies. I was delighted to see her.
I present to you... Brianna Burnett.
In the few encounters I've had with Brianna, she's been both benevolent and insightful.
Once, directly directed to her small studio space, inspiration was not all she left me with. Brianna shared with me a community project she conducted to create awareness about wind energy. Burnett engaged elementary students by having them help her make (something like) 10,000 windmills/pinwheels exhibited at the American Wind Power Center and Museum in Lubbock, Texas. I regrettably, missed this conceptually and communally rich wonderment of a spectacle.
So in our brief happenstance, she handed me her card. I quietly stuck it in my back pocket and when I anxiously retrieved it for the information, the glorious image below preceded me.
...stunning.
I couldn't wait to look through the rest of her work. and neither should you.
This reminds me of the work of Robert and Shana Parkeharrison, another favorite duo of mine. Which explains my instant affection for this tintype. Infact, I'm going to frame her card and pretend like I own this photographic masterpiece.
...perhaps I'll persuade her to sign it. {kidding}
lovely.

Yessss!
Annie Ray is a fun photographer who sets up a photo booth for any kind of event. Luckily for us, we were at the right place and right time...and each provided with a mustache.
Check her out!
ps. I love love love these girls who are both in my life thanks to (D's and) my good friend Richard!

Red Rose Tea and Honey
Behold, an artist book of mine made to portray the progression of an obsession. (That statement would be a lot cooler if it didn't rhyme.)
It's a two part book, made from alternative or non-traditional materials thus conveying more information or insight, unique to the content and experience of the book. Each material was chosen carefully and specifically.
The words in the book, made of tea bags, displayed on the right read, "unwanted obsession". The sandpaper book, covered in a cloth tea bag contains a poem within. If you'd like to read it, please email or leave a comment and I'll send it to you.

David Goldman's quest for his son.
Last month, Derek and I watched this news special on David Goldman and his tragic story of how he lost his son. This guy LOVES his son like nobodies business.
Basically, he met and married his Brazilian wife and had a fairy tale marriage and a little "prince charming." When one day, his wife Bruna left for Brazil and called to tell David she was leaving him and that he needed to come and sign over custody of his beloved son. He spoke with attorneys that advised him not to set foot over there because Brazilian courts would favor the native mother. So here we are, four years later. David Goldman still hadn't seen his son and had only spoke with him a few times over the phone. Until Tuesday, Feb. 10, 2009. He finally reunited for a visit.
Please watch and read this story...so sad.
I pray that this man's perserverance will pay off soon. That little boy deserves to be with his father.
