It took me hours to find somebody

who could open up the lobby

of the old "Stout's" hotel on Main Street in Gila Bend.

It had been closed for years already.

That painting over the Coke machine haunts me ever since.

It's the dream version
of the perfect beginning 

of a road movie.

Project #2

Initial thoughts on University Projects this term. Modules are Advanced Practice and Contemporary Cultural Theories:

Advanced Practice:   Practical project. Working title = "A Place to wash the Heart".

Contemporary Cultural Theory: Not the most engaging title choices this semester but will probably do essay on "How can the theory of allegory help us understand a photograph?  Analyse the work of contemporary German photographers, using theoretical concepts developed on the module". Will look at work of Thomas Demand, Andreas Gursky, Thomas Struth, Thomas Ruff, Gerhard Richter, Candida Hofer and writer Craig Owen etc.

Seminar Paper:   An in-depth look at images which claim a certain measure of documentary credibility or some photo-based engagement with political or social 'reality'.
