“Disremembering and Then Remembering My Life” – Memoir video

The Carolina Book and Writer Conference has a video clip up now of my memoir presentation "Disremembering and Then Remembering Your Life" at their recent conference. Human memory awakens and extinguishes at will. This quote offers a good launching pad for why memoir wiriting is so educational and also so transformative. You can start writing a memoir and stop for a year, blocked by what you will have to reveal. Or you can stop as at a wall because you think you have forgotten. Well, of course,...

In a note, Harrell describes her spirituality as a conscious, living thing shaped ...

A Palimpsest of Thanks

More than you might think. In my mind his artwork was the artbook I didn't work on in 1971 or so. This was the artbook I did. It all went back to that. But let's take the story slowly. 1994.

International Prize New York City

Faces in Sun Blast, a Film (not digital) photograph of a cloud scene, has been selected for the International Prize "New York City" October 21 - 24, 2020. Looking at the cloud photograph, which I took in Belgium in the late 1990s, when I took several rolls of these sky images every day, then sorted out which ones to later have professionally scanned, I see painting-like scenes in patches. Isolated areas where a "painter" set up an easel and made a work of art. Only, it happened in the clouds....
