- No. 3,799 (cartoon)
- This must end.
It never began.

- 12:00/13:00 20 August 2004
- Yesterday I made two photographs of the same subject exactly one hour apart then combined the results into one image. I enjoyed the empty exercise; it smelled like art.

- Beats Me
- Wonder or wander? Wander or wonder? Wonder or wander? Wander or wonder?
Beats me.

- Pleasant Whatever
- Joe moved to Pleasantville, Pleasanton, Pleasant Valley, Pleasant wherever. It’s one of those places no one ever goes.

- Ocular Denial
- For over a year I’ve been trying to ignore the fact that I can’t focus clearly on very small objects. More than one of my learned friends ascribed this condition to aging; I ignored their preposterous remarks. Recently, however, Dr. Wahlberg informed me that inexpensive tests at a local university could identify a variety of sneaky ailments that could blind me.
“You’re an idiot if you don’t take care of your eyes,” he added supportively. I took his counsel, and had my eyes checked out today. After a thorough examination, the doctor opined that my eyes were healthy. He added that I’d need a cheap pair of reading glasses if I needed to thread needles. Since I don’t sew, I’m looking forward to at least a couple more years of ocular denial.

- Hymenoptera
- Some dancers asked me to photograph their performance of Hymenoptera, so I did. Because I’m a nice guy. (I pooh-poohed Daniel’s absurd suggestion that I was only there to photograph attractive women in various states of suspension.)
Dance photography may be bifurcated between dance staged for the camera and documentation of performances. I prefer the former, so I’m not particularly pleased with the documentary photographs I made. Life can be that way. Having said that, I appreciated a brilliant performance.

- Too Happy to Sleep
- It’s three in the morning, and I’m too happy to sleep. Why can’t every night be like this?

- Photo Templates
- A photo lab near here offers “Photo Templates.” I appreciated the honest approach to formulaic imagery. It reminds me of what my dear friend Morrie wrote about Richard Avedon’s predictably predictable and repetitiously redundant photographs.
