Search For The Realness   Leave a comment

In The Moment — Photo-artistry by kenne

I search for the realness,

the real feeling of a subject,

all the texture around it…

I always want to see

the third dimension of something…

I want to come alive with the object.

— Andrew Wyeth

Topless Blues At Drifters — Photo-artistry by kenne

I am a drifter, and as lonely as that can be, it is also remarkably freeing.

I will never define myself in terms of anyone else.

A body in the darkness

Conveying its passion.

“Body of an Old Man Sitting Under the Stars” — Photo-Artistry by kenne

“There was only our bodies, born to live and die on terms decided by the bodies
that had lived and died before us. If he could be said to have located
a philosophical niche for himself, that was it – he’d come upon it early and intuitively,
and however elemental, that was the whole of it.”

— from Everyman by Philip Roth

Dance to the music

Suddenly they lift their shirts

Seeing with eyes closed.

The Joy of Looking Through My Scopophilic Lens   Leave a comment

the Joy of looking

looking through the looking glass

mise en abyme

“In its Greek meaning, the verb “to see” incarnates theoretical man,
an omnidirectional ball of open eyes.
What purpose does theory serve?
The surveillance of relations, or the examination of objects?” 

– Michel Serres, “Panoptic Theory”

Been Here Before — A Valentine Message   Leave a comment

joy45sawmill-i_blog-cohenAfternoon Delight — Image by kenne

I’ve been here before
known this place
walked this floor

lived here alone
before, I knew you.

You became my 
photographic muse
an afternoon delight
laying on a bed of red
shadows of natural light.

Blue, blue windows
opened to the sky
clouds move by
casting moments
to dream by.

Morning would come
roosters crowing
at the break of dawn
sheets still damp
moments to live by.

Imagine yesterday’s
times we’ve shared
becoming memories
fueling our tomorrows
filled with timeless love.

Now, everyone can see
you belong to me
knowing it’s so
hard to love, still
we share the look
of satisfaction.

Her smile
extrudes the surface
becoming an attraction
to the distraction.

Girl Friend (1 of 1)-2 Nightlite Dreams blog“Nightlight Dreams” Grunge Art by kenne

Nightlight Dreams

past, resisting replay
but for stardust of yesterdays

yesterdays, imparting time and place
gently massaging forgotten dreams

dreams, giving clues to
my stardust memories

memories, fading for now
only reborn to imagination

imagination, touching the soul
engaging new moments

moments, experiencing rapture
in the joy of our love

love, living yesterday’s stardust
the music of today’s legends

legends, lighting our essence
upon which the future exist.
