  2. i'm not quite sure how he pulled it off either, my only guess is that it was a long exposure and Cornell moved during it. quite amazing result though no matter how he did it.

  4. it's painful to me, this one, gloriously painful. how we are body and yet how our body is spirit and yet how neither of them are fixed. this is like a truth someone spoke by accident into a busy room at a party and not another sound was uttered since.

    this is a very special place.

  5. thank you, Erin, for your visit and kind words. your description of this photo (and our reaction to it) - this photo which has been on my mind every since Michael posted it - is so fitting that i can't add anything to it...

    we are happy to have you (and your poem!) in this 'very special place', as you so generously put it.
