Last of my Lowell Mill Shots.
Tonight’s photo represents the hamburger that I couldn’t have today. Man, do I miss having one of their Black and Blue Burgers. Enough Said:)
Over the last few warm days the ice in the John Street canal has begun to melt, bringing about some interesting images. This photo captures the reflection of the old mill building. What I like about this photo is the slight water movement making the windows look like old columns and the numbers shapes and “pictures-within-the-picture”.
Hopefully you see a reflection through your own pane of glass- something that helps you discover layers, motion and beauty: your window.
Tonight I attended the stage reading of my friend’s (pictured here) Master’s Project featuring monologues that explore African American women and their sexual/erotic voice. It was an amazing evening being exposed to the voices and stories of Black women. I can’t get too deep into this…let’s just say I learned a lot about women’s fears, pleasures, health concerns as it relates to sexual activity — and of course I learned a lot about myself. The reality is there is much we don’t talk about—but need too. I can’t wait until this turns into a stage play.
Since tonight was about Black women, my next few posts will highlight some of the beautiful women that came to support tonights reading.
Yes, its cold as heck in Lowell, Massachusetts right now. As a matter of fact my phone indicates it nine degrees outside right now. Adjust for a wind chill factor and it’s ten below zero. But like life, when things are freezing all around you, it may be time to get in touch with your inner beauty. I hope this photo reflects the beauty that can happen inside when you shine a little light on it.
