Emptied

picking through the remnants of a day
and opened suitcases
revealing
emptiness

I found a photograph of my sister
black and white and innocent
and mourned

I hold it close to me now

and a stitched sample
secreted within a cold, hard wooden chest
the traces of a passing younger hand

before the emptying

a tumbler roll as I replace the key in the safe
and pass from this still sad place

of a world

emptied

Empty

Agony and Ecstasy

A walk ...

A fresh perspective

Dear Sheddists,

mrs electrofried threatens to shred my credit card.

I'm afraid the combination of a generous glass of red wine and an open page on Ebay does not the best of contributions make to the familial budget.  I've been splashing out on yet another second-hand Leica, a lens for my trusty CL and ... I blush in embarrassment here ... an ancient but immaculate Leica camera-bag to carry my accoutrements.

I've been sent in shame to the West Wing of the House to do penance, which I feel sure I richly deserve.  But in the meantime I shall attempt some surreptitious photo downloads from the new kit - Remember a Day' is the very first fruit.

Yours shame-faced,

electrofried(mr)

Remember a day ....
