This is for elsa
who looked like an injured bird in her purple corderoys and floral sweater
with the glasses always falling down her nose

who would sit with me in the dining room while giovanni shook from withdrawals.

When nate slammed his door she would jump out of her skin
and the nurses would always treat her like a child even though she was over forty.

she only spoke five times a day, each time the same question...can I take a shower...but she was my friend.

I hope you are okay out there elsa. I miss you.



Polaroid one step sx-70 / 600 film / warming filter and polaroid diopter taped to lense convered in chapstick / desaturated and vignette added.

I like it a lot Omaha, but when I read the dedication it makes me feel uncomfortable, like a voyeur intruding, makes me think of people trapped in a damaging pattern of self-harming behaviour, unable to break free, not so much flying in circles, more like crashing in circles.
As always, thanks for sharing.

Intresting decription.
It makes me curious to know more.

6 is afraid of 7 because 7 ate 9. The police took 8 & 10 into custody under suspicion. They figured it must have been 8 or 10 because they were right next to 9 when it happened. The police told 8 & 10 how they found 9's remains half eaten in an ally...

it is a bit voyeuristic, but I think I may be slightly :O I am fascinated with documentaries and biographies and other people and what they do and who they are...so I almost naturally sort of fell into feeling like I need to remember things, or other people won't, and if you don't tell other people their stories, and then that person died...I think it would be much sadder...and your description of the piece is spot on...everyone there was pretty much crashing on circles. and we'd leave..but we always come back.

I'm glad you like it though :)

It is impossible I find to look at any piece in the same way again when you hear the inspiration behind it. I don't think this is a bad thing though often I think it helps me to look deeper at the piece.

I had to change it, try something new out for a change (and confuse as many people as possible in the process :paranoid: )
