Positively 4th Street -

"Kate Visits the Village"
digital collage by Mick Mather

From the blurred and fuzzy background of a found photograph came a flood of memories. One of a trip two years ago, another of a friend who has moved away and yet a third memory of walking the best parts of Bleecker Street on ice cold mornings and afternoons. Happy hour hot dogs and a glass of wine at The Art Bar on 8th Avenue north of Jane come to mind as well as the liquor store and the little bodega clustered along that part of the walk near my room. Judging from the weather, if I were there right now, everything would be the same as it was then.

Moody Monday: Outdoorsy -

"Outdoorsy"
digital collage by Mick Mather

The theme, outdoorsy, at Moody Monday this week was giving me fits all day. In the end, this manipulated photo montage was a test of my patience as well as an opportunity to get back to some good old fashioned cut 'n paste before running it all through the usual array at the secret visual laboratory. I'd head out for a drink but, dang, I've missed Happy Hour! Cheers anyway. :)
