medieval settlement


Part of a mountain settlement where the community were able to hide from pirates. It lies several hundred meters above the present-day village of Chrysostomo, near which Icarus was reputed to have fallen at the end of his ill-fated flight. The view from the village is identical to that of the well-known painting of Icarus' fall by Pieter Brueghel.

sunset on the beach of Eggares - 4


believe it or not, there is zero digital manipulation for this set, aside from some dust removal. it was shot with the camera on a bag and some clothes on the roof of the car. any discoloration is from the aging of the emulsion.

Came home from work and was fixing to have a quiet read of the newpaper when my eye caught the announcement of an engagement that evening: Allen Ginsberg was in town and about to give a poetry recital at the invitation of a local literary magazine. I almost fell off my seat. Rushed over as fast as I could. It was worth it, although Ginsberg demolished one of my cherished myths (he said 'Howl' was not a revolutionary poem - only a poem describing life in a pyschiatric ward) and failed to satisfactorily settle that nagging question about whether Bill Burroughs was or was not an inheritor of the Burroughs adding machine fortune.

Allen expressed surprise at the fact that the theater was full and people were asked to go to the balconies.
