A macro iPhone photo of a single dew drop in focus on a curled dried brown leaf.

A black and white self portrait shot at a very wide angle of myself sitting on an old trunk. The photo is backlit and very contrasty.

Lost.

Spring sprang. I got both my bikes back on the road over the past few days. My beloved purple that bucked me & broke my arm hurts more than I hoped to ride, but it’s slower black/gold brother felt really good to be on… so that’s where I’ll restart the adventures.

I drop several times daily… it’s the picking it back up that needs to stop.

I remember back when “prepare for the worst” wasn’t a necessary daily decision…

I don’t think the musicians, artists & poets of this world get nearly enough credit for how many of us they reach into the darkness for to lead us back out.

A black and white self portrait of me standing behind my sweet ass vintage purple Cannondale road bike with a furry tiger striped seat… and my broken arm in a sling. 
Thursday started off rather unpleasantly with a bit of a bobble on the handle bars that bucked me off the bike. I landed stupid but I never spilled my coffee.

Wrecked em, damn near killed em…

I do appreciate all the amazing visual art & words here punching holes through all this darkness we cannot ignore.
I’ve not found the way back to my creative mind these days but I admire as much as I’m thankful for those who continue on.

I’ll shed no more tears for 2025.
I lost 2 jeeps, the 2nd one almost took me out with it, got financially fucked, my mental health got fucked & then my father died… don’t get me started on the nazi-fixation of the US.
I’m not one for wishes but I hope the coming year has more positive offerings.

Dieses Schwarz-Weiß-Foto zeigt eine triste Straßenszene in einer städtischen Umgebung, die von Müll und Verfall geprägt ist.
Der Vordergrund: Müll und Unrat
Im Zentrum des Bildes steht eine überquellende, dunkle Mülltonne. Um sie herum ist der Boden mit verschiedenen Abfällen übersät:
 * Mehrere Plastiktüten und Müllsäcke liegen lose auf dem Pflaster.
 * Einige leere Glasflaschen liegen verstreut auf einem alten, schmutzigen Teppichrest.
 * Der Boden besteht aus klassischen Pflastersteinen, die teilweise uneben wirken.
Der Hintergrund: Plakate und Graffiti
Die Szene spielt sich vor einer beklebten Wand ab:
 * Großes Werbeplakat: Links dominiert ein Plakat mit der Aufschrift „JEDER TOASTER ZÄHLT.“ Es handelt sich um einen Aufruf zur Entsorgung von Elektroschrott („e-schrott-entsorgen.org“). Das Logo der Stadt Kiel ist oben rechts auf dem Plakat zu erkennen.
 * Graffiti: Rechts daneben ist eine helle Wandfläche zu sehen, auf der groß die Jahreszahl „2025“ sowie die Zahlenkombination „0815“ gesprüht wurden.
 * Kleine Plakate: Unter den Graffiti hängen weitere, teils abgerissene Flyer und Poster, unter anderem mit dem Schriftzug „GEWALT“.
