Dear Tuesday, It’s Job Search Hopscotch and Sneezefest 2019! Love, Kevin (21 May 2019)
Partly inspired by the shadows produced by the lighting at Third Place Books in Lake Forest Park and trying to photograph a single page of a book without being able to remove it… The distraction would be too much beside the inevitable distortion of lines curving into a common edge helpless against the angles of [...]
Dear Monday, Rain. Yup, that’s Monday all right. Love, Kevin (20 May 2019)
