So it is after 5am and I still can't sleep.
And they just won't shut up.
I think it's the heat.
As of October 2011 I will have been walking this planet for 43 years
and being of a sentimental nature this book will be
a limited edition of 43 copies.
It seemed appropriate to devise and unconventional binding.
Banded the book opens vertically in a conventional manner.
Remove the band and you can open the book in a manner I call Sidewinder.
There is no wrong order. In this matter there is no order at all.
To live up to its' title this book comes with bells on.
They have been around for a long, long time.
The ribbons hang down.
The pages pivot on a solid brass binding post.
Metallic copper cover with handcolored collage
on fine Rives BFK printmaker's paper.
The introduction sets the scene and is printed on canvas.
The contents: 19 images, luster surface reproductions.
As you spin the sequence you can manipulate the story.
The Images:

As a child I pressed flowers in between the pages of my books.
The prints are mounted on Indian Petal Paper.
Acid free rag paper infused with dried flowers.
As to the paper on which the prints sit there are three different versions.
One book has pages infused with blue cornflower-blue is for memory.
The second: infused with Mughal Rose petals-red is for passion.
The third: infused with yellow star flowers-yellow for hope + promise.
You do not get to choose your color.
I have already assigned colors to numbers of the edition at random.
What you get will be left up to chance.
There is a fragile signature on the front cover, which may or may not
fade away over time; and a graphite signature on the endpage
which will not.
I like all my books but this one is precious to me.
I took a leap of faith on this one and bought supplies in advance.
Ordered books will ship within 10 days.
If interested drop me a line at my personal email:

And lest the new inspire us to forget those that came before:
The precious child- this is where I began.
'31 visual attempts at a justification for suicide.'
'Drowning, not waving'
The Strange Child.
But it is a hopeful little tome
It is 76 pages, 4/4 full colour press printing. The cover is handmade with printed title and Indian handmade cornflower paper. Some people will get more flowers than others. You know how I like flowers.
I punched and comb bound each one myself.
And it is as cheap as it can be, again thanks to the kindness of strangers.
$24 includes US shipping + handling.
(I never actually charge for handling or really understand what handing is but it sounds more professional.)
$31 includes International shipping (any country).
This is the best I have to give.
I'll sign it if you want.
You know how to reach me.

Spirit photography (after Mumler)...nearly done
There is a book 'The Perfect Medium: Photography and theOccult' which has a tremendous selection of spirit photographs. (Best one, Mary Todd Lincoln in widows weeds with the ghost of her beloved Abe.) The images were absurd but people believed in them because there was the perception of photography as truth, and they had faith. So do I, in my own way, which is why I spent a full day last week pushing all the furniture in the green room out into the hall and made a theater. Then I set the stage. There is a limited number of times I can do this, this series will soon fade to black.
