"Reminds me of a Hemingway quote from the Sun Also Rises, "...going to another country doesnâ€™t make any difference. Iâ€™ve tried all that. You canâ€™t get away from yourself by moving from one place to another." ...and yet, it is soooo tempting. : ) Ciao, T/S"

"haha You can probably tell by the double-breasted suit and socks...this was an older work. : ) If I keep it up long enough, the styles will cycle back through and I will look trendy again. Sitting in trash watching trash...am I being influenced, or am I driving the world around me? Am I selecting something that fits my existing trashy existence and viewpoint, or am I unwittingly sitting in trash because of the limited choices I am given to choose from? Of course, I will vote for the option where it's not MY fault, embracing the most human of copouts. "

"Thank you! I took many pictures of the inside of a dumpster to get the angle right. Sitting in trash, watching trash. : ) "

"Yes, I kept going back and forth with variations of the line involving "wish" and "whish." I ended up going with the "whish" sound so I could capture the moving grass, the tossing of their manes and tails...and keep it more abstract that the literal "wish" so as to indicate there really is no "why". : ) Plus, I had been dying to write a piece that used a sibilant device since reading carlosjackal's very excellent piece - http://www.darkpoetry.com/node/work/110574. I loved his refrain mimicking the sounds of the waves and had been planning to experiment with that device for some time. Ciao, T/S "

"Thanks! I have actually been back since 2005 and wrote this back then, but I wanted to use this one to experiment with the visual medium. A friend of mine has a warehouse with all the "props" and I thought it would compliment the piece. Glad your daughter is back! "

"No, I rather like him. A local commander did try a few days ago, however, and at least a hundred people are dead as a result..."

"Yes, I took it - I was in the area for about a week with some friends. Too many pictures frm Afghanistan try and highlight the destruction, so when I post something I try to highlight nice images of normal life."
