What We’re Looking For

We’re all looking for something.

There’s a gap in our lives.

If only that gap could be filled, we’ll be happy.

We all want something.

IMG_20150408_0016 640

Anything.

A friend.

IMG_20150408_0018 640

A thing.

IMG_20150408_0019 640

To whet an appetite.

After that, the world would make more sense.

Searching Waiting Thinking

It’s that existential condition, of always searching, waiting and thinking.

We can only have images of ourselves.

The glimmer is often only a few steps away.

Selfies (with a nod to Samuel Beckett)

These are photographs of me, or of how I see…

We’re all shackled in one way or another, waiting for our little godots…

IMG_20140127_0009 640

I’m Estragon the poet…

IMG_20140127_0008 640

Is He arriving? Godot is always late.

IMG_20140127_0007 640

I wait and I wait …

IMG_20140127_0025 640

And I wait …

IMG_20140127_0032 640

Like Vladimir the thinker, I keep myself informed …

IMG_20140127_0037 640

I want a branded watch to tell me I am a lucky Pozzo…

IMG_20140127_0013 640

Am I a cookie-cutter person with cookie-cutter dreams and desires…

IMG_20140127_0027 640

Or can I be my own work of art, recognizable to myself…

IMG_20140127_0029 640

I want to be Lucky, my favorite beer…

IMG_20140127_0031 640

I want to be forever on the move… forever arriving with the goods…

IMG_20140127_0026 640

and then I’ll be happy-go-lucky…
