several years ago the washington monument had some work done
not like the work seen in the lindsey lohan
more subtle touches
nothing so dramatic
nothing so obvious
during that period the monument was surrounded by scaffolding
what was amazing is that this scaffolding did not touch the monument's granite surface
fantastic!
I had wanted to take some photos of this and I did not
I regret that
to avoid regret
we must take action in our lives
today the notion of a night shot of THE AWAKENING was mentioned
rather than regret not taking a night extended exposure shot
I went out there with my friend tom
for some reason he left his dog behind
but we took brutus and the camera and went out to hains point
the photos came out sweet
although I wish I had taken more
had to wash brutus when we got home
he had the pleasure of rolling in something
which gave me the displeasure of having to bathe him
which is no pleasure for him either
got the shots
now I need some shots of the sculpture being unearthed
then a shot of the vacant space
and I am done with THE AWAKENING at Hains Point
we will all be done with The Awakening at Hains Point
it will be as if the old man finally dug himself free and walked away
