Memento Mori
This is one of those incidents where something happened over 30 years ago, and the punch line only comes now. I wouldn't be writing this for the public eye normally, but in this case, the death of Cassia is something that has had resonance throughout the plus-thirty years that followed. In many ways it has been central to my attitudes, especially regarding art and painting -- but also has extended to other forms of expression, writing included.
Though I never met her, her death had, first of all an enormous impact on her father, who was my professor for a painting class at Oberlin, and his grief, and the way he coped with grief in the days
This is NOT an April Fool's joke
But my mood in writing this may well have been influenced by being tired and exhausted and imagining for a moment that some gang of trolls had managed to guess my password in the wee hours of the morning, when suddenly my icon, which has been the source of some past controversy, was replaced by this Team Jacob GIF of doom.
That said, I want to feature some unusual and challenging works that I haven't yet categorized, or that create in me a kind of uncertainty that has to be a good thing. Maybe these musings are a little bit influenced too by a conversation late last night with a friend that has me thinking a bit that we now live in a world
The Problem with Rating Photos
I'm not sure this site manages to do much, certainly not right now, but at least it's trying. What site am I talking about? Well, it's not deviantART, I think most of us know that much. Maybe life really is just about self-promotion and I'm too much the fool to accept that and deal with reality as it is.
Still there's another site I've found fascinating lately. The main thing it seems to be lacking is a critical mass of users. And I'm not a big enough presence myself on Flickr to do much to bring it to people's attention. Probably not here either. But at least there are a few people who read what I have to say, and maybe some of those
Absurdly hard (for me) to trust
So voting for ~SublimeBudd (https://www.deviantart.com/sublimebudd)'s efforts to get support for the local humane society was a much bigger deal for me than anyone has much reason to expect. If this makes no sense to you, I suggest you look at his journal about his efforts.
I'm going to feature a few other pieces of work here, just in case I come to hear something terrible about Bissell, and because I feel the need to try to defeat my own bad habits and fears.

I found this image intriguing, at least as an image. I'm not yet confident enough that I understand HDRI to make much of a commentary on how it works for that, but maybe someone reading this journal
