Again and Again and Again


You said the anger would come back
just as the love did.

I have a black look I do not
like. It is a mask I try on.
I migrate toward it and its frog
sits on my lips and defecates.
It is old. It is also a pauper.
I have tried to keep it on a diet.
I give it no unction.

There is a good look that I wear
like a blood clot. I have
sewn it over my left breast.
I have made a vocation of it.
Lust has taken plant in it
and I have placed you and your
child at its milk tip.

Oh the blackness is murderous
and the milk tip is brimming
and each machine is working
and I will kiss you when
I cut up one dozen new men
and you will die somewhat,
again and again.

Anne Sexton

The Trade Off

To occupy our time in between Saturdays, we decided to trade off items to incorporate into our own photos. It gives us a reason to shoot, and we wouldn't want the blog getting stale, now would we?

For our first trade off, I was lent a fan. It's wooden and light with these darling little flowers. Here are some shots so far from the 'fan shoot'.

Just drive

Still bitterly cold and with no definite plan, we decided to just drive.



A mill in Whitinsville, MA


The mill that recently burnt down in Uxbridge, MA. I'd also like to add that we had our first taste of danger sneaking into this fenced off area.


The Millville gorge we stumbled upon.


Ami documenting the gorge.


Later we went thrifting for potential costumes...I love this shot.

Seeking shelter indoors

The second time we gathered, it was too cold to even brave venturing outside. So, we opted to use the "black room".

My camera had a difficult time getting quality shots that day...but I managed to find some favorites. I almost deleted this upon first sight, but then the idea of a haunting came to mind and I decided I liked it.


Such beauty, and no photoshop.


Some days I feel I should go headless.
