“Photography is all right if you don’t mind looking at the world from the point of view of a paralyzed cyclops — for a split second.”
David Hockney
I got the light across the bottom by spinning the camera across the full moon sky and then to my shadow.
I managed to draw a “J” that way.

we sat on
the sofa
a laugh and
a smoke
we stood in
the kitchen
and listened
to what
she was workin on
she was workin on
practicin her horn
she was workin on
the next piece
her lessons
her songs
her sound
it was in her bones
it was in her bones
it was in her bones
it was in her bones
her music
her laughter
her anger
her tone
her mischeif
her cancer
her wonder
her own
she had to go home
she had to go home
she had to go home
she had to go home
her father
so tender
her mother
so strong
she fought it
and fought it
it twisted
her arm
when finally
no remission
was given
permission
was given
to give in
to give in
to give in
and taken
with mercy
awaken
now kristen
and straighten
your fingers
on your horn
and blow
on your horn and blow
on your horn and blow
on your horn and blow
on your horn and blow
