FREAKS OF NATURE

From Webster, South Dakota

On a cross country drive I went 500 miles out of my way to see “The World’s Largest Hairball”.

Found in a cow’s stomach, it is 37 inches around.

Upon closer inspection it seems to be from Kansas, but no note as to why it now resides in South Dakota.

 

From Pray, Montana

A double rainbow over my front yard.

The second of two that I saw that summer.

 

From Ketchum, Idaho

The sheep and the sage looked like they were made from each other.

As I took the picture, he noticed.

STREET TALK

From Palermo, Italy

On the barricade of an abandoned building.

In Italian, pieno means full and vuoto means empty.

 

From New York City

Found on my way to the studio one morning.

 

From Bozeman, Montana

But what?

 

 

 

 

TOP HAT AND …

From Amenia, New York

Found at the top of the closet in a run down McMansion.

A ladies’ beaverskin riding hat.

Circa 1920

Such beautiful curves that I wanted to steal it.

 

From Saugatuck, Michigan

On a cross country drive I stopped to visit my cool friend Ken Krayer.

He lent me this.

Here it is closed.

 

You turn the end, and it opens like this.

“What is it?” I asked

“I don’t know.” he said, “But objects find you, you don’t find them”.

It looks vaguely sinister.

11 inches long.
