then and now...
Funny how time slips by...here are some photos shot by my friend Josie Borain from a fashion trip in Paris 25+ years ago....and a pic by Voni Glaves 2 days ago. 43,72,45,0,W
pre-apologies for being wordy, but time is a wordy subject... ... good looking loaves - the James Beard of Terlingua? Women with cameras are like women with guns - often dangerous, often accurate. (a little premonition Carl beak in the Borain set? Voni has million mile eyes))
Time passes, time dances, in the end, time wins - every-time. Growing things, in a desert, is a worthy tonic.
As Carl says; "microbial to apex, we're all just links in the food chain - it's the scratching & crowing, in between, that counts..." btw, the chicken/egg thing - Carl says the rooster came first... Savage Chickens TFK
Frank Costanza: Let me understand, you got the hen, the chicken and the rooster. The rooster goes with the chicken. So, who's having sex with the hen? George Costanza: Why don't we talk about it another time. Frank Costanza: But you see my point here? You only hear of a hen, a rooster and a chicken. Something's missing! Mrs. Ross: Something's missing all right. Mr. Ross: They're all chickens. The rooster has sex with all of them. Frank Costanza: That's perverse.
"If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life, it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast." E.H.
another 25 year and you will look like Brad Pitt
ReplyDeleteI wonder what percentage of people not regular readers of your blog would pick living the Paris life vs The Field Lab life.
ReplyDelete25 years ago I was in another world too. It is still there. In pictures.
ReplyDeleteI started following you after the NYT article a year or so ago I think. Thank you for sharing the experience.
I think the deserts here in Arizona are more hospitable.
And, if my memory serves me well, Josie Borain lives in Cape Town - small world :)
ReplyDeleteLove the Telefunken t-shirt.
ReplyDeleteYou look much better now.

Fun with photos. I like 'em all. Your friend's kitchen looks nice. The bread looks tasty.
