Boulevards consume you whole
You stand as the target
Of vast power
Of reciprocal awe
A space of control
The illusion of freedom
7ème Arrondissement, Paris, March 2020

Edifices
New and old
Gleam in the same light
Hold fast in the same moment
The same fragility
7ème Arrondissement, Paris, March 2020

Streets once glimpsed
And never walked down
Become known memories
The city enters below
One’s skin

Spaces reveal themselves
As silent treasures
Waiting to be filled with meaning

Then I saw
The morning light of Paris
Pour through and strike me
Through eyes once innocent
Now tinted by California
And I do not look away
Musée du Louvre, Paris, March 2020

I’m not here
Just looking back
To a warm Spring afternoon
Before the world closed up
And we sequestered
In our homes
To save each other
Paris, March, 2020

Glad I made it back here before the world closed up.. Hadn’t been back for 17 years. Being the only person in the galleries besides the guards was beyond special in this day and age. More pictures of Paris from self-quarantine to follow.

Currently in Paris, amidst all of the chaos & fear surrounding the Coronavirus pandemic. Europe is now the center of the epidemic. My timing couldn’t be better; today is day 2 of a trip. Haven’t posted in a while, since Instagram just feels like a massive black hole of content and it doesn’t matter what you put out there. But the archive on my phone is too full, and the sense of life closing in on me from the specter of disease is lending a sense of urgency to the moment. Broadcast whatever you’ve got. Make it good, make it count. Make every day counts.
So I’m going back to the roots for a while and solely producing in Black & White. I’m seeking a direct, unambiguous feel. Color overwhelms, shifts under its own weight. Like this moment, it exhausts my eye. All I want is clarity in the now. So here we are again, taking it from the top. Stay tuned.
