my mission to find a manual typewriter has succeeded. I recently found myself a very dusty brother charger 11 typewriter & brought it home to fix up. it needed some cleaning & finagling plus a new ribbon but now she works! analog processes are more & more appealing to me with the ongoing slopification of the digital world. I’m excited to play with baby blue more.

poetry happy hour at 29 palms book festival

read some poems from the poem-a-day project at the poetry happy hour as part of the 29 palms book festival this past weekend. since I’ve been experimenting with vintage tech & physical media, I recorded my session on my “new” panasonic slim line tape recorder.

greens
in diary
the thing about the high desert is it’s so incredibly green — when the conditions are right. it’s not the same type of green as a forest or a woodland, but it is green.
the desert greens have huge variety & are interspersed with seemingly brittle sticks & blooming yellow flowers. why are almost all the flowers in the desert yellow? maybe it’s another way of worshiping the sun.
the greens run from the cool almost blue hues of a cactus to the deep shade of the honey mesquite exploding in growth & everything in between.

black rock canyon
in digicam, hiking, photography
a morning exploring the black rock canyon area of joshua tree national park. this is a lesser known part of the park & though the campground is usually busy, it’s less packed than the main entrances.
