Photography Thinks
Met him on the green in Woodstock. The area has become more solid and less green with the addition of slate, but the appearance of the individuals who occupy the space has not changed in the 40 years I have been going there. He looks the same as everyone else who I have met and spoken with. What was missing? A sign! Like, “Make peace now,” or “War Sucks.”
Not hard to find one’s balance near Lake Champlain
Just some guy waiting for the bus next to ECHO.
A strong way to begin the day. Then, all I have to do is find a way to make the world a little better than I found it.
Winged Victory moves on to Springfield.
Stavros works with people with disabilities, finding them residences, services and anything that can make their lives more liveable and life’s equipment more accessible. James Kitchen who uses discarded materials for his works and donates proceeds to endless causes built this to provide imagery for Stavros. An artist cannot do better than when their art promotes social justice.
Of Counsel to O’Neill, Kelner and Green in Burlington VT, Jon Evers thrives as a traditional barrister. He loves the drama of the old time courtroom and the challenge of using modern computer interfaces to make facts easier to present and arguments more persuasive. He has looks, smarts, and ingenuity. Were he a baseball player, you’d say he has all the tools.
My friend Paul Berch is running for office. A knowledgeable lawyer, committed humanist and family man, he brings needed tools to the legislative fray. He has fought battles for his clients and compromised when necessary. He will be as effective as a legislator.
So, we heard that the shelter in Springfield ran out of food. The shelter near our apartment in Greenfield isn’t doing so badly but could always use some of everything. Whaddaya need? Juice, oil, towels, etc. So, we brought them the above and three pizza and some soda. Got thanks we didn’t deserve. Thank you for the chance to meet and talk.
You gotta believe how hard it is to get a job that offers some future. People don’t choose to live in these group homes. Getting out of them is a challenge.
Some days you do and some days you don’t. Cannot predict what the shoots entail or how you feel about them or yourself when you finish. Different subjects create different emotions and require different skills. One in a studio. One on the street. One in a store.
