Wherever I walk I tend to find odd objects, things out of place. I found this framed photo walking around NE Portland a few weeks ago. The photo seems to be a partial view of a house.

A Second Look

I’m pretty sure I have posted this photo in the near past. I also included an 8X10 print of it in my current display, that is about to end this Friday. What I have been curious about is the pair of lower legs in the photo, behind the old phone booth. I am not sure if everyone saw and got what I was trying to do with this image: Walking in front of the Coney Island Museum of “Freaks”, etc. is this torso-less being. To me, it was a curious juxtaposition, caught at just the right millisecond. A second later or earlier and the whole body is seen and the statement is lost. No matter how long and hard one looks at this image we will never know the ‘owner’ of the torso that must be attached to the legs we see.

I’m not sure why I am posting these images and even more unclear as to why I took them in the first place. But, here they are.

Coney Island, where sand and ghoulish smiles take over in the off-season.

Moon Snails

Was a minus tide yesterday. We spend some time on the beach hunting marine life of all sorts, crabs, snails, sea cucumbers. Here is a few views of the some of the moon snails we encountered. Some were so large they had to be held with two hands as they emerged from their shell. Note the slimey substance wrapping around the fingers above.
