  1. “Photography is OK,” he said to me that first day in 1982 — as he held in his hand a veritable deck of such “snaps” —Polaroids in that instance—gazing over an intricate photo collage he was in the midst of fashioning — “if you don’t mind looking at the world from the point of view of a paralyzed Cyclops, for a split second.” — David Hockney

  3. Abstraction and memory.

    Scraps of cyanotype coated tissue paper - forgotten parts of other works - laid out in up to 6 layers as 'negatives'.

    Sun reveals the constructed image. It reminds me of [ ].

    And you?

    It's a strange creative process.

    Like searching for the memory of something you had forgotten that you remembered.

  4. Would you rather do something great for all of humanity but be remembered as one of the worst people who ever lived, or do nothing with any lasting impact in your life and be remembered as a hero to all people?

    #OTD Wilkie Collins, English #Writer, is born.

    He's #Remembered for The #Moonstone, the first modern English #Detective #Novel, in which he wrote:

    "I haven't much time to be fond of anything...
    But when I have a moment's fondness to bestow... the #Roses get it.

    I began my life among them in my father's nursery #Garden,
    & I shall end my life among them if I can. Yes.

    One of these days (please God), I shall retire from catching thieves,
    & try my hand at growing roses."

    #OTD Charles Swain, English #Poet, is born.

    His poem, Forgive & Forget, is a #Keeper.

    #Forgive & #Forget! The #World would be #Lonely,
    The #Garden a #Wilderness left to deform,
    If #Flowers but #Remembered the chilling #Winds only,
    & #Fields gave no #Verdure for fear of the #Storm!

    Then away with the #Cloud from those #Beautiful #Eyes
    That brow is no #Home for such #Frowns to have met:
    Oh! How could our #Spirits ever hope for the #Skies,
    If #Heaven refused to forgive & forget.

  7. Sending you all warm #Wishes for #Peace + #Joy + a very #MerryChristmas.

    To every #Hearth a little #Fire,
    To every #Board a little #Feast,
    To every #Heart a #Joy,
    To every #Child a #Toy,
    #Shelter for #Bird and #Beast.

    - Rose #Fyleman, #English #Writer & #Poet, A #Christmas #Wish

    Rose is #Remembered for her #Writings about #Fairy #Folk for #Children.

  8. If you need some perspective, browse @auschwitzmuseum or even follow them! Their frequent posts with names, pictures and details of those who died in concentration camps is humbling. It is unfathomable that they could go on posting so far beyond my lifetime. #holocaust #remembered

    #OTD Willa #Cather, American #Writer, is born.
    #Remembered for her novels of #Frontier life like #OPioneers!, Willa won a #Pulitzer for her #WWI novel called #OneOfOurs.
    Here’s an excerpt from #MyAntonia:

    The #Earth was warm under me, & warm as I crumbled it through my fingers.

    I was something that lay under the #Sun & felt it, like the #Pumpkins, & I did not want to be anything more.

    At any rate, that is #Happiness; to be dissolved into something complete & great.

  12. #December 6, 1886
    #OTD Alfred Joyce #Kilmer, #Writer, #Poet, & #WWI #Soldier, is born.
    He is #Remembered for his poem, #Trees:

    I think that I shall never see
    A #Poem lovely as a tree.

    A #Tree that looks at #God all day,
    & lifts her leafy arms to #Pray;
    A tree that may in #Summer wear
    A #Nest of #Robins in her #Hair;
    Upon whose bosom #Snow has lain;
    Who intimately lives with #Rain.

    #Poems are made by #Fools like me,
    But only God can make a tree.
