late day cloud cover / Asgaard Farm ~ Au Sable Forks, NY - in the Adirondack PARK • click to embiggenOne of my favorite authors, Edward Abbey, wrote two of my favorite books - The Monkey Wrench Gang and The Fool's Progress. Two Abbey quotes follow - one which could certainly be applied to picture making, and, one (with my substitution of the phrase, Republican Party, for Abbey's original word, California) which could certainly be applied to current political life.
Our job is to record, each in his own way, this world of light and shadow and time that will never come again exactly as it is today. ~ Edward Abbey
There is science, logic, reason; there is thought verified by experience. And then there is the Republican Party. ~ Edward Abbey

Here's one of my favorite Edward Abbey poems:
August, 1959--Albuquerque
Gawd bless Amelika
Land of the flea
Where the fat shits
And the big shits
On the multitudes pee.
