There’s a coldspring in the old powerhouse on the Kettle River. The soil there has an extremely high iron concentration.

I will practice this lensing array regardless of how sick you get of it.
This shot and the shot of my brother welding were long exposures half cut with electrical arc outbursts or cessations. I’m more interested in the changes of raw and arcborne photons during the openness of a shutter in these two instances. Specifically capturing resistive generation vs. plasma arc output. I must be in a mood or something. Probably has something to do with a certain influence begat by a certain french silk vintage robe and a certain cashmere robe. Robe count: 9 so far.

All you can eat crawdads?! My brother and I cleared out over a steamtray. Probably had 7-8 full plates each. Love me sum mudbugs.

-sitting around robed-up, decompressing and watching movies all day, not working on diddly-squat edition.
current movie: never let me go. next up: herzog’s cave of forgotten dreams. after that it’s either going to be lolita or eastern promises. i have yet to decide and will likely take in a nap at some point.

Last year I asked for cast iron. This year I asked for copper.
And I’m dead serious about never taking off these robes.

They had this window put in after the tornado dragged across the lake and peeled the roof off the house.

WHY am I up so early?!
It’s 5:30AM. What is this automatic waking while vacations? Why does the router in this room sound like a space jet engine? Can I beer or wine and sleep more? Why is bed small? Why do freckles? I mean, what do they do and why on me? I’m never wearing anything but these robes. Ever again only these robes until I’m dust.

My brother built this for my mom (welded, bent, soldered, patina’d, everything). 70 hours of labor, mostly salvaged pieces. It’s absolutely amazing.
