Happy New Year! No … wait … Happy Valentine’s Day, it’s closer.
Well, I was supposed to send this email about two years ago, but I always think, “Well I’ll send one right after I do x, and then I will have something to actually share with people.” And then we go around the sun twice.

The Reason That I Am Alive (from the sunpopblue.com archives)
the reason that I am alive

with the fish
the tranquil fish
they calm the bottom of the ocean
fly above the seaweed hair
like slow birds
like blue birds
the reason that I am alive
because it is beautiful

Memo to the person who is posting the comments
It is far too late. You are so far out of the loop it isn’t even funny. Where were you when I spent four days power-washing the bricks and the decks for the one-year?
And I can assure you it is NONE of your business. Life goes on. We are having fun. We are happy.
In any case, please leave us alone now. For your own sake, because you have pissed me off.
Or we could meet for coffee if you would like. Name a time and a place.

Yes, this is another case where an obsession of mine got out of hand, but this one involves other people! I, along with Rae at the Giorgi Gallery in Berkeley are hosting and curating a show (the first that we know of) comprised entirely of images made with the iPhone.
I’m obsessed with it. I know other people who are. So it’s “let’s-put-on-a-talent-show-in-the-barn” time!
