now , this feels strange…
why??
i just cannot tell you…for one thing i felt more than a little bit of sentiment as i closed down “road trips” and our old blog platform…i mean, we all hung out there for almost two years and she served us well…we all made new friends , got a lot of work done and, well moving out of an old house and into a new one always leaves one with mixed feelings…
however, i feel we will easily continue our community here…the most obvious thing is that you will now have a real venue…a place to be published….and with many more watching than you may realize…it will take us some time before we will have a significant amount of content of yours up, but that really is just a matter of YOU getting us material we request…
there is a new e-mail for you under “submissions”…this will be used primarily for you to submit for our ever changing “selected photographs”…..
instructions will come soonest for how “work in progress” will be applied…basically, i will take on up to 5 photographers as a special mentored group….just as i have mentored online with Patricia, Panos, and Rafal …..we will use PhotoShelter as a place to “hang” , edit your stories etc…
“photographic essays” will be the place for final finished stories, text, videos etc etc..this will be THE place to aspire as well as will “selected photographs” which may change daily in the very near future…your .”photographic essays” will be on the “front page” for probably one week each and will always be easily accessible…these essays will also evolve….for example, “Sugar” could end up with a video component at some future point as could Patricia’s “Falling Into Place” and so on…
the nature of our forum has always been like a darkroom print in the developing tray…we have always watched the print develop so to speak…our new Burn will be no exception….
if you do not see your name on the “photographic essays” to come list, do not despair….i know there are several others coming…some are just more ready than others….you know who you are, so get your material together please!!!!
yup , Anton has his story up first….damn right…the boy deserves to be up first (please DO NOT MISS THE RED BUTTON right hand corner for full screen viewing and turn your speakers up)…for one thing, he and i have been working nonstop for days and days…..there is no time of day or night when Anton has not been available for my questions and has not been willing to work and to tweak things out…plus, i just love starting with “Sugar” …..Birgit is a light burning bright….inspiration for us all….

Bob, i’m a bit worried about this post:
what i often feel now, here….
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEukS2YN9B8&feature=related
Does this mean you feel like jumping off a building or attracting a suitor by pretending to?
Mate is there anything that will prevent you from feeling either feeling?
Hi B-b-b-b-b-bob-B-b-b-b-lack!
Civilian…horchata with vodka, eh? Down here they make horchata, sell it at the market in old wooden bins, next to the turmeric powder..i love drinking it fast before it has time to settle its heaviness in the bottom of the glass.
Gracie..don’t look for gum, look for a coded message honey-chile.
Gracie and Civilian..i love the sound of your words. Like tinkly music that seriously heals what seriously ails me. i can’t explain it..no meanings, just sounds, absolute internet night song..like crickets and frogs and birds that feed by moonlight..i don’t need to understand their meaning either, i am just happy that the night air is made sweeter, thicker somehow by their voices.
To all three poets Bob, Gracie and Civilian..you grace the pages of Burn magazine with your charm and subtle song.
your friend
kathleen
Although predominantly prepared with rice, horchata was originally made with melon seeds.
dear kat-aclysmic,
you should add jan to your poetic list and extract me… i am but a melon seed.
numerous in the whole picture but kat-astrophic if you accidentally snort me… hah
civilian,
not a total misquote:
I sing song — and feed on crickets and frogs and birds in the moonlight
jumping on a building, attracting suitor, feeling either feeling
with horchata or vodka
YAMAS!!
Your 15ft of pure snow whites..thank u Bobby (Check the new selected photo)
Gracie …”you GRACE the pages of Burn magazine with your charm and subtle song”. Thank you
