I found this young boy, or we found each other, on the streets of Sarajevo almost 30 years ago. His country had lost its direction, and it began to perform a war upon itself. Trauma filled the air, and it resembled a winter season that arrived and never left. I’ve lost thousands of children throughout my time behind the camera, and I am, and always have been, consumed with the guilt of my ability to leave. They have long forgotten the drifter that was me, but I wear them all as tattoos that line the inner wall of my soul.

As a brief summer of sunsets, dims for its final goodnight, I am filled with gratitude. Gratitude for the color it has given me, and appreciative for the unknown it has yet to reveal. It was important to say goodbye this year, even though the sun and its setting was less than spectacular. It descends into its own dream as do I until our next year.

Brain fog, Brain rain, Brain hurricanes… It all feels like I’ve run past myself, but I realize I’ve been standing still the whole time. A couple of weeks ago at the Wonderfair already imbeds in my brain as something that happened 9 months or a year ago.

The soft captive swell that was Morocco, overwhelmed my every sense. I moved slowly into the bitter heat of that first afternoon, and I found the man as they stood in their bowls of multi colored blood. They were the alchemists of the afterworld, that brought forth the stain…

Yellow Heart glows as a radiant figure within me. Where she comes from, where all of it comes from, escapes the folds of my cerebellum. The muse lands somewhere softly in the great unknown, and I am nothing more than innocent.

The last man standing holds a special place… He insists on taking his experiences out beyond the last time the lights are dimmed at an exhibition… As he demands more time at the threshold… He’s also the same man that orders two drinks at closing… He requests not two, but three ranches on the side with his fries… He’s that child within a man, that waits for the last credit to roll at a movie, even though he’s sitting alone at home. I know this man without knowing him, as he turns to thank me moments later for giving him more time at my exhibition.

We have taken to the air in the full moons low tide peak, and all the oceans subtle blur of blue is in motion below us. Great desert birds of the sea flutter below us in their perfect silence. These rays, blessed with such fluidity are the only true keepers of the past. Before the reefs spiral, before the sun burned the water, before man mined your habitat of everything but you, I feel your breath.

I came underdressed to the worst place in the world, but that is part of the pain, part of my process. Instead of feeling people’s emotions as I normally do, I transfused the frozen climate, letting it burn into me. Yes, with the wind chill, the temperature dropped to minus 40 degrees, but it was lost on me. I love the bitter chill, the bite of it against my bones, and found myself laughing even screaming inside at the greatness of being so alive in these precious few moments.
