a good palm oasis


took these
b&w in baja


a friend just sent
me a nice photo of a
print he bought at
this yard sale


i could go for
an oasis right now.
it's 90 degrees in nyc.


fyi, this is not an oasis


ps: I didn't realize
"my faith in architecture"
would cause such a stir.
rad! i like it!

my dream is to one day
work with my sister



like the mulleavy sisters




there would be nothing
better than that

I wanted to live deep and suck all the marrow of life


to live so sturdily and Spartan-like
as to put to rout all that was not life,


to cut a broad swath and shave close


to drive life into a corner,
and reduce it to its lowest terms.

what would your name be?
