Archived Stone
I pulled this archived image from the Nepal trek I did in 2009. I learned about having asthma when I got a physical to determine if I was healthy enough to participate in the trip to the Himalayas, so posting this image this morning sort of ties in with my appointment at the allergist. I will succumb to some scratch testing to check and see if they can identify any possible triggers for my asthma.
Not Yet
It may seem like winter already in some places, but according to the calendar, it is still autumn where I live. While Cyndie is experiencing snow in Boston, I have sunshine and blue sky here in my region.
Oh Yoko
Here is another image from my archives that popped up on the home computer screen saver recently. I was co-publisher of a monthly rock and roll magazine for about a year, over a decade ago, while on hiatus from my usual day-job. I enjoyed the opportunity of hanging out with a lot of musicians during that time; some of them big names in the business. My press-pass allowed me the chance to speak with Yoko when she was in town to promote a retrospective exhibition of some of her works of art, including collaborations with John Lennon. Here, she was venturing into a plexiglass labyrinth, titled “Amaze.” In this installation, it included a toilet at the very center, faintly visible in reflection on the ride side of the image.
Small Steps
Returning to my image archives, I present this shot from my trek in the Himalayan Mountains of Nepal. It suits the long trek that Cyndie and I are embarking on in living in two different cities, 1400 miles apart. I remember that I took this picture in an attempt to capture the source of dust that we breathed as every step kicked up a cloud of dirt and yak dung that exacerbated the abuse my lungs were already suffering from leaky wood-burning stoves and thin air of the high elevation. Long treks can be broken down into small steps, and tough times can include plenty of special moments.
