i spent a few hours today in High Park again taking photos. i got some great shots, but i think the best moment was when i saw two big dogs chasing a squirrel.....then i realized they weren't dogs....they were foxes. big foxes. i a got a few shots, but none of them stunning.
it's December 6th today and i always reflect on the Montreal Massacre (usually i do something more active, but because it is on a Sunday this year, i just did things alone). i ended up writing a poem to use with a photo a took today in High Park to make this week's Artifact. all of the English parts of the poem are actual things i have actually done with women in my life. i wish those things were fiction. but they aren't.
the Artifact is here: http://www.thepreservationofshadowsandlight.com/
About Me
- The Preservation of Shadows and Light
- The Preservation of Shadows and Light is the ongoing virtual craft project of Michael Erickson. The project combines original photography and poetry. The three major elements are Artifacts, Image Galleries and The Curator’s Notes. ARTIFACTS are created once a week. An ARTIFACT matches a recent photograph with an old fragment of poetry (or just short poems). The fragments are often “the only good part” of longer poems that would otherwise be....well, crap. But often even the lousiest poem has a piece worth saving. Like a relationship. The trick is to know which piece is worth keeping close to your heart when you finally walk away from the rest of the crap. The IMAGE GALLERIES are galleries of images. The CURATOR’S NOTES was supposed to be a tongue-in-cheek title, but now i think it might just sound pretentious. basically it’s a blog / on-line diary that tells you about the progress of the site, the process of taking pictures and other things that relate to my photography.
