…a sanctuary for lost words, for unusual, odd, curious, peculiar, funny, bizarre, weird, uncanny, queer, unexpected, unfamiliar, abnormal, atypical, anomalous, different, out of the ordinary, out of the way, extraordinary, remarkable, puzzling, mystifying, mysterious, perplexing, baffling, unaccountable, inexplicable, incongruous, uncommon, untypical, irregular, singular, deviant, aberrant, freakish, surreal, suspicious, dubious, questionable, eerie and unnatural words, some presented as poetry, others as prose, and quite often melded into photographs, covering such diverse and distantly related themes as Paris, archaeology, music, street art and politics along with a generous helping of perplexing perspectives. I write poetry to be read aloud. Words are only half alive on paper; they are like skeletons. Sound breathes life into them. Makes them sing. While you’re here look for things. You’ll find them… (Oh, and I neglected to mention that unless otherwise credited, all photos are my own creations)...

It’s photos like these that remind me why fall is the only season that I miss in my bones… and through the lens of my camera. Truly beautiful.
Cyrano: The leaves…
Roxane: What color! Perfect Venetian red! Look at them fall.
Cyrano: Yes, they know how to die. A little way from the branch to the earth, a little fear of mingling with the common dust and yet they go down gracefully, a fall that seems like flying!” ~ Edmond Rostand
