Along the route we took west of Mt. Angel, the route we dubbed - monoculture 'farm' death-valley area - we took more photographs than usual. Pictures of Phillip the egg just about everywhere. Using hipstamatic a lot to give the landscape a more living-conversation feel. Close ups and more close ups. Again the sense that making art can be an act of self-defense arises; making art as natural movement against whatever reaches out to kill our inherent sense of connectedness to what we are made of, what feeds us, shelters us, informs our minds and bodies of what we are. Somewhere inside, the body begins to suffer from this disconnection, stagnation. Animal eyes detect the lie done to the landscape. Art; interference into the slow death of factual vitality (ie. BH's Real World).

| And more bee and peony. Hello life. |
