i bought this jeweler's stand for $11
thinking it would facilitate making solar drawings but the planet spins so fast i had to keep adjusting it, a reminder that it's tough to beat the human hand for range & responsiveness, the subtlest movements controlling the line weight & focus, naked lens balanced gently between thumb and two fingers. yesterday, thought it only appropriate to buy some old-timey candy at las golondrinas, offered the roll around to everyone in the gift shop. Laura the cashier declined but a much older docent in bonnet and gown was thrilled to meet a presumptive ally, presented upturned palm with 7 black wafers she'd dug out of her apron, explaining that Laura got her fill of the (highly prized) licorice ones she set aside for her. it was sweet to gain this little insight into their relationship & still tickles me a day later, so here you go--wanna Necco? |
