What? What? What? — Fred Imus Cap
“A full moon really affects me,” Fred told his brother Don.
“I get nervous and irritable. Does that ever happen to you?”
Only on days that end in Y.
For Christmas in 1999, Joy gave me a “coffee table” book, Two Guys Four Corners — Great Photographs, Great Times, and a Million Laughs by Don Imus and Fred Imus. The Imus brothers grew up on a cattle ranch in northern Arizona, a thirty-five-thousand-acre ranch between Kingmen and Seligman called the Willows. The main ranch house was on a dirt road fifty miles old, Route 66.
We first learned about Don Imus, a ‘shock joc’ nationally syndicated Imus In The Morning radio and TV program out of New York. His younger brother, Fred, also had a radio show and would frequently appear on the Imus program. Fred was the irascible brother of the far even more irascible Don Imus. He was also an entrepreneur, owning and operating the Auto Body Express in Santa Fe.
I didn’t grow up in the Southwest, but I fell in love with Arizona and the Four Corners when I finished my service in the Army in the late ’60s. If you love photography as much as I do, the Southwest provides a photo opportunity at every turn. The gift of the Imus brothers’ book set me on a path that would take me full circle back to Arizona in 2010. Since then, we have photographed almost all the venues in the Imus book.
Speaking of full circle, the Imas program was primarily a talk show. However, he occasionally played Americana music, and one of his favorite groups was The Mervicks. The lead singer is Raul Malo, whose voice is exceptional. They have a new album, Moon and Starts. This past Sunday, Raul, who is 58, was interviewed on NPR Weekend Edition Sunday, during which we learned that he has cancer.

Barefoot Photographer Near Sabino Creek (October 13, 2010)
WHAT?
A hiking break
Socks and boots off
Feet in the stream
What?
Camera in hand
Capturing the moment
Kids jumping in the water
What?
A place in nature
People love to visit
Sharing the experience
What?
Barefoot kids running
Mothers watching
With the back of their eyes
What?
Spring’s last whispers
In summer’s tongue
Talking to the kids
What?
A pond in a stream
Recognizes flamboyance
In 1000 little mirrors
What?
Don’t give up on nature
Forever and never
Every whim of my will
What?
Sounds of running water
Have spiritual overtones
Calming my mind
What?

“What?” — Photo-Artistry by kenne
Habitation
Marriage is not
a house or even a tent
it is before that, and colder:
the edge of the forest, the edge
of the desert
the unpainted stairs
at the back where we squat
outside, eating popcorn
the edge of the receding glacier
where painfully and with wonder
at having survived even
this far
we are learning to make fire

In Search Of Nothingness — “What?” 1 comment
Self-Portrait
The more I learn about myself
the less I know about others.
I feel good about who I am,
questioning the good of others.
I may understand my behavior,
wondering about that of others.
This may change with a renewal
of dialogue among humans.
I accept who I have become,
I accept the responsibility for me.
I accept my humanness, but
not the organization of society.
To live in the actual world,
we develop an ability to cope.
By coping, I first came to know,
before I came to know-nothingness,
thus having an opposite for interaction,
allowing me to continue to search
sometimes not putting forth enough effort,
causing anxiety, guilt, and despair.
I am able to know by being in the moment,
I am able to know-nothingness by becoming.
The more I am able to know-nothingness
the more I am able to achieve enlightenment
by living life according to my possibilities
as I am able to actualize them.
