pieces of youi keep finding pieces of you. careless scars under the piano where you hid when the room got loud with flies. thumbprints in the hall closet where mother put you during storms and you thought the coats smelled like someone lying. a used shadow in the pool house, playing hopscotch under the old canvas tarp breathing in the corner. and on the porch where you slept, naked and lost in summer
those raw parts you asked me to keep safe. pieces of you

leitmotif(I will never forgive Millais for painting Ophelia calm in the water. My cousin Noah died shoeless and struggling under a lonely man’s hands, his eyes full of rain runoff. Real people don’t sink as pretty as oil on canvas: Noah was four feet five on the autopsy slab, no flowers, no frames. I am ruled by the aesthetic, but I would embrace his every imperfection if it meant having him back. This clumsy dilettante still loves Noah with the scabs on his shins, sitting sloppy at Sam’s recitals in sneakers and shorts. Give me the asymmetry of his eyelashes. For the fir leitmotif

Amazing Photography

Sun Sep 20, 2009, 4:24 PM

1) Robert Frank.
_{I am awed by his photographs of 20th century America. The ambiances he manages to capture are incredible, and they make you oddly but deeply nostalgic for a time you (most likely) were never even alive to have seen. Like a photographic version of Edward Hopper. [link] This site has a great bio and a really really good selection of his pictures.}

2) Jen Gotch.
_{Quiet, soft, and sosososo pretty. Her first piece in the Defaced series blew my mind. [link] Really. You have to see this. You just have to. Polaroid FTFW. [link] Her main page.}

3) The Photographic Dictionary.
_{Dedicated to defining words through the literal, figurative, and personal meanings found in each photograph. Beautiful marriage of my two most favorite things - words and photography. And it's just great to see how other people interpret words through a camera lens. [link]}

_{As I'm typing this up, I'm guessing I don't look that good big and blown-up and blurry. Yet, I'm still posting this devID. Out of vanity or novelty or boredom, the world will probably never know. Also, I just read this paragraph over and realized I used a lot of parallelism. Which is a rhetorical device. Like litotes, a deliberate understatement, which I would bet money on that you don't know how to pronounce correctly. Well, it's pronounced Lih-TOTE-ees. For real. Doesn't that enhance your quality of existence? Because it does mine.}

I'm sorry. You probably have enough comments from me already, but I'm leaving one here just to tell you I'm deleting my mibba account. I never post anything there and logging onto the website is a drag for me.

~HighwayInTheRain 3 days 4 hours ago

That makes me sad, but I won't try and dissuade you if Mibba doesn't hold anything for you anymore. At least we still have DA.

_{PS. sorry if this gets sent twice. dA's a bit weird right now for me.}

I liked reading the good things that were on the site, but it just felt like a place where you talk to people. And most of them seemed like it was all about impressions and image and everyone was too teenager-ish there. I wonder if I am too. Probably. You weren't though.

I think I replied the same thing to two comments, but I don't know what the second one is if I have. It was an accident though because my messaging screwed up, then deleted two comments after I replied twice to one.o.o

~HighwayInTheRain Aug 26, 2009, 7:03:27 PM

Nah, I don't think so. It's all cool either way.
