Let There Be Light!

CC Jean Stimmell: The Homestead May 20, 20120

My homestead version of Book of Genesis:

Darkness was upon the face of the Earth

and God said, Let there be light

and there was light

and it was so splendid

He called it Spring

Not mind or matter but something in between

Bluebird: 5/20/16

An imaginal image

is not mind or matter

but something between.

A merging in my psyche

of a hawk from Squam Lake

and stump from Boscawen.

A Provincetown time capsule, resurrected on my iPhone

Resurrected on my iPhone:

A Provincetown time capsule

 from 8:39PM on 10/1/15

Walking down Commercial Streeon a cold and rainy night we happened upon a lone musician mournfully playing the blues.

Not having my pro camera because it was raining I was forced to take this shot with my iPhone. But not trusting that it would be any good, this image has gathered dust until I was forced to check it out for possible entry in an upcoming art show, limited to smart phone photographs only.

I was pleasantly surprised when I made a print of the iPhone image. What can I say, except that my natural mistrust of new mediums proves once again: It’s hard for old dogs to learn new tricks.
