Like the pistol. In the course of life, I see many guns and pictures of guns and even fire them myself from time to time, but for some reason I cannot quite figure out why, when I look at this picture, I feel a great curiosity about who has shot what/who with this gun has shot in a way I don’t ever recall a simple picture of a gun causing me to do before.

And of course who could help but wonder why that van is lying on its side, burning, figures of onlookers barely? What is the relationship between the two girls hugging? What will it be in the future? The woman sitting on the cotlooks like she could live in Wasilla. We have many Russian, Ukrainian and other Soviet Block immigrants here. In November, I shot the wedding of a beautiful young immigrant who has older relatives who look much like her. Where do their bloodlines cross? I am not a wedding photographer, but she used to be a barista, served me often and really wanted me to take her wedding pictures.

And then there are the two cats… but of course cats always present people with many questions they will never be able to answer. Maybe the holiday season has rendered all Burnians mute. I, for one, admire this set of photographs.

Hey, Civi – now would be a good time for you to appear!
