The picture was there
in my mind,
it always had been
to capture it
I must first find it.

Suddenly,
the scene was set
repeating
what was now scripted.

The Secret Place Where Lovers Meet   Leave a comment

“Mine the long night
The secret place
Where lovers meet
In long embrace
In purple dark
In silvered kiss
Forget the world
And grasp your bliss”

there was a large vase.
a very special vase
in a very special place.
a very pretty vase
part poetry, part decor.

We came only to sleep, we came only to dream:

it is not true, it is not true that we came to

live on earth.

We came to turn ourselves into springtime grass:

our hearts come to life again, they open their

corollas,

our body is a flower: it gives some flowers and

withers.

— from “Vida efimera” (Ephemeral life)

Pulled these images and video clip out of my January travel archives in memory of Mike Ronstadt
(August 25, 1953 – August 7, 2016) 

Beyond the shadows, beyond the rain
Beyond the darkness and all the pain
When you’re walkin’ in circles with holes in your shoes
Love is the road that leads beyond the blues

Old man on the corner, he’s been gone for years
And the guitar and the knife blade are rusty with tears
But there’s a song that he left us, we’ll never lose
That love is the road that leads beyond the blues

— from Beyond the Blues by Tom Russell

In a park somewhere is Sonora, as we were returning to Tucson from several days in Alamos, I captured a photo as Michael, Alex and Petie set in the midday sun waiting for the motorcoach to be gassed up. I later layered in a guitar creating this Photoshop image. These guys were an important part of our trip to Alamoa, Sonora.

but they are easy to find
you just need to know
where to look —
in your minds eye.

Morning Is Bright — B&W   Leave a comment

Alamos Street (1 of 1) B&W blog.jpgMorning is Bright — B&W Image by kenne

morning
in black and white
listening
to soft jazz

new light and passion
born
in the moment
of eternal morning

releasing negative energies
of past efforts
with the morning sun
my cares pass as

for a moment I am
childlike
in a world
false positives.

Rio Sonora   1 comment

The was a time in 2014 when the entire Rio Sonora valley was effected by a chemical spill at the Grupo Mexico copper mine in Cananea, The spill caused the closing of 29 wells that provided 95 percent of the population near the Rio Sonora. In addition to cutting off municipal drinking water alone the Rio Sonora, the spill destroyed the dairy industry and farming, killed wildlife and impacted all other aspects of life along the 180 miles of prime riparian habitat.

This ecological disaster inspired Michael Ronstadt to write “Rio Sonora” telling the story of the Sonora river acid spill. On several occasions during our trip to Alamos, Sonora the Ronstadt Generations performed “Rio Sonora” and on one occasion I was able to video it.

I watched her 

dozing

in a sunny

morning way.

I took her

picture,

another one

as people 

walked by.

I wondered

if she had

a name.

Probably not,

street dogs

don’t have 

names —

just perro, 

perro callejero.
