Shoot

Decided on a bluesy jazz album.
Called on friends to be
the musicians.
Blackburn Transport turning into a good buy.

Product

Fruits of the labor
found to be not quite ripe.
Back to the sequence to make
everything flow like the Mississippi.

Church

Eyes closed, mouth open.
Hands held demurely in front.
Leading the singing
only to look out and find no one is following.

Festival

Film festival is like a microcosm of the world.
Everyone has a different view.
Characters in the projection room
make the viewing go faster.
(Happy Birthday, Daddy)

Hiding

Finding solace in video.
The Voice of the Delta clears away everything else.
For now, the only things acknowleged
are the plains on the computer screen.

Storm

Delta storm rocks the plains.
Torrential rains wash away
terrible headaches...
and new computers.

Cover

Designing cover for band that doesn't exist.
Friends will become Soggy Letter.
A world class drummer,
and a kick-butt frontman.

Life

Wide open expanse.

Never ending horizon.

Days like these

end too soon.

Moment

Roaring lawn mowers.

Clear, blue skies.

Warm sun on bare shoulders.

Feels like summer.

Here

Spring has finally sprung.

Gorgeous blue skies become

the background for incredibly relaxing days

filled with impromptu music from garage band friends.

Parade

Everyone having a little more fun

before the break is over.

The week ends. Work is over for now.

Definitely ready for the Delta.

Photos

For reference: the family is crazy.

Family picture taken. 1st time in 7 years.

Brothers cracking everyone up.

Photog was rolling on the floor in laughter.

Chef

Felt the need to cook.

Broiled chicken legs with Tony's,

mixed veggies, and fresh cookies

make mouths all over the house water.

South

Left the Delta for somewhere faster,

and everyone followed.

Time is a different being up there,

and now Jackson seems too fast.

Lamp

First day back.

Forgot how tight the space is.

People bring lamps for shades

which make their whole room look new.

Overcast

Over 100 miles driven,

and no change in the sky.

Overcast clouds make for interesting shadows.

They also make one curl up and sleep.

Tired

The long week is over. Midterms are done.

Video is finished. Life can now begin.

Idiosyncrasies of the human mind

create dreams that are better left unknown.

Holiday

Checking out has never felt so good.

So much more time to smell the roses.

The subconscious is allowed to rest,

so that the conscious mind can grow.

Delta

Hours upon hours of driving

has created a movie

which gives insight into one 

Voice from the Delta.

Home

What is considered "home"

is different for each person.

Friends and family make the flatlands of Mississippi

"home".

Mid

Middle of the week blues.

Nothing to do.

No camera.

Head says a bad storm is coming.

Doctor

Must make an appointment.

Modern medicine has a reason

for any ailment under the sun.

Maybe they'll know what's wrong.

Lens

Video in it's final stages.

Teacher says a failing grade 

will be recorded if one man from Airport

doesn't speak for 3 minutes.

Shorts

The weather has held steady

for the past 2 days,

so the shorts are making an appearance.

Must invest in sunless tanning lotions before long.

Artist

Getting back into drawing.

The feel of charcoal and pencil

on paper has been supremely missed.

Much more soon to come.

Stay

The weather needs to make

a decision between spring and winter.

The plants have started blooming,

so at least the view is pretty. 

Spring

First day of spring-like

weather brings out the 

shorts and short sleeves.

Drawing under a tree sounds awesome.

Sickness

The varied weather

induces sneezing and wheezing.

If it weren't so beautiful,

the Delta would be hated.

Fear

Fell off a fire tower,

into the clouds.

Free fall turned scary.

Thanks Mallory.

Eighteen

Little brother,

The world can wait.

Be the tag-along for a little while longer.

Love, your older sister.

Snow

Spent the night looking at

the falling flakes.

Only in the delta could 65

change to 24 in two days.
