Writing poetry with your old pentax

[kohaku]

Artsy entries. I have scanned, resized and uploaded several photos taken by a Mr Viggo Mortensen. And I have wafers. With chocolate. Dangerous indeed.



3 pm, 1998 is one of my favorites. But then again, I think all photos I posted here are.

Home, 1990 I feel indifferent posting this one. Yes, it appeared in Recent Forgeries, so it is a published picture, but it seems so intimate.

At the Forum, 1998

Home, 1998 Never fear art, wher ever you may find it. *hugs vegetariansushi* It's almost silly to use it in this context. But that's the way my working room would look if I'd lived on my own. When I work on my poems or pictures, I can't be bothered to put things away. There is too much inspiration in every piece. Thankfully, I work on a pc now. It seldom looks that cluttered nowadays. (Only if I look through my papers and notes... but I try not to do that too often... my poor hubby!)

Lost, #1-4, 2000 is a series of unreal photographs with a long story behind it that Viggo sometimes tells in an interview. I love the ghostliness of those photos. Eerie.





**********

Cheek, 2000 I'm fascinated by the colours and detail.

Fell, 2000 reminds me off a poem by D.H. Lawrence.

That's it. Hope you enjoyed.

I don't think many people post any of Viggo's work. Maybe that's because of copyright issues.
But I couldn't resist, and since my journal is not that, um, let's say popular, I don't see any damage in promoting his works. :D

[vegetariansushi.livejournal.com]

Aww. I think that you're popular!

Anyhow, if anything, I think that this is making me more likely to try and buy some of his stuff. I've been justifying with "I can't afford it, I can't afford it, I can't afford it." I'm starting to think, though, that I have to find a way to afford it, because I want.

Oh, they're not that expensive! It's just that I have to order them via a friend who has a credit card and then I have to pay customs. But Perveval Press is wonderful, no matter how much I have to pay, the always write 5 Dollar as value onto the little sticker thingy. Which basically means that I don't have to pay any extra fee.

Ooops, I'm tired. Do I make any sense?

But I'm so glad that you like his works so much that you're trying to buy some of it. :D

I know that they're not insanely expensive, but I live on grants and loans for school, and have a baby. So for me, buying even a $5.99 trade paper book is a stretch, sometimes. So even art books that aren't particularly expensive tend to be a little out of my range.

When I win the lottery, I swear, I'm buying a library.

You're right of course. I'm glad I do odd jobs for a translation office otherwise I'd never be able to buy something extra. I got most of Viggo's books as presents. Lucky me.

What kind of books are your favorites? If there is such a thing.

[vegetariansushi.livejournal.com]

Mmm, presentbooks. That's so great.

I think that my favourite books are the ones with pages. I feel that pages are very important in a book.

But seriously, I read everything from history to fantasy/sci fi to true crime and proper literature. I'm not at all picky. I'll read the back of a bottle of shampoo if I'm without anything else to read. What are yours? (Do you have one?)

[kohaku1977.livejournal.com]

No, not at all. I read everything I can get my hands on. :) Another reason to love LJ: I can read stuff for free! Whee!

[vegetariansushi.livejournal.com]

Hee. I love that, and I think that I've found some amazing writers who are better than many published authors on livejournal. I feel like I experience so much, learn so much, and am so constantly entertained by what y'all post that I sometimes feel guilty for taking so freely, you know? But then someone posts something else and I get distracted and forget to feel guilty and go back to squeeing, so whatever.
