These are more early photos that I recently scanned. The bottom photo is one I used as part of the design for a cover for a small book of poems I self-published with the help of my good friend Stephen Gross of Gravity Press. Another friend, Philippe Lasard, helped me realize my cover design. This photo seemed to capture aspects of both the west coast and the prairie landscapes that informed my imagination. It was taken at Centennial Beach, a favorite spot. The top photo reminded me of one of my favorite artists,
Rene Magritte. It felt like it could be a detail from one of his paintings, somewhere beyond the bowler hat or floating apple.
