    There are two photographers who I always return to for inspiration, the first is Ralph Gibson, and especially his Black Trilogy, and then it is the abstract work of Aaron Siskind, and the “big red book”, I call it, Aaron Siskind 100.

    I want the words to be better. I am not a poet, and refuse to call what I write in the zines, poetry, at least not yet, but I want the words to be better. I watched yesterday at the zine festival as an older photographer, probably a part of the inner Click photography festival…

    I seem to be through with my square period, it lasted almost a year. I have been drawn back to portrait mode, the traditional 2×3 format of 35mm film, sort of where I started when the zine concept originated in early 2021. All the ruminating for today. Cheers!

    Will be there with Issue 10, a few leftover issues of 9, and a separate photography centric zine still in early stages, and not part of the no context series. Be there or be square. Cheers!

    For those who may want to order a copy of the latest zine, I have added payment methods on the about page. Cost is 10.00, plus 2.00 shipping. If you are not on my mailing list, you will also need to send me your address. Does a writer ever have to explain their work with…
