I’ve got to run and do school things, but I wanted to dash off this update before I left–

On Monday I put up a little show of photography and some illustration at the Santosha Yoga studio located in Madison. I debated whether to include my illustrations; I pondered over whether I should price “for the recession” or normally; I tried to figure out how to show off the photos in the hallway where light filters in from the west with a yellow-greenish cast (choosing items for the red wall was very easy); I remade my labels for everything; I stood staring at the cubbies for storing personal items for a long time with small nails poking out from between my lips and a hammer dangling in my hand; I spilled coffee on the rug in the entryway and knelt there for a while, sopping it up with my handy absorbent utility blanket things that I use to protect my framed photographs.

Anyway, I’m pleased the photos are up, even if nobody buys them. I think they look great and I know the yoga people will feel happy looking at them. Maybe they will wonder how the hell anyone has the patience to paint that many bones. Maybe they will learn the secret about why that African lion is pawing at the ground! (In the reference photo it’s playing with hippo poo, which is like catnip for the lions.)

This is the sidewalk out front of the courtyard from where Santosha is located:
