Of Things Past

This compilation is to get readers to remember fondly by books' end that which has passed. Depicted are the themes of the house; what we have come to define as being a home; a sentimental value; a humble abode to reside in where all inside are members of the home; yet when emptied is the house still a home?



Another theme running abound this latest release is the domesticity of the caretaker of the home; are chores enjoyed or simply endured?




Viewing the home as a structure is shown to have many styles within the beach cottages. During time away from the city to the outskirts of town: the yonder shores and residing in the littlest bungalow; similar to that of the Iddlemoor style built in 1884 is another example of a home away from home that city dwellers may escape to for relaxing and mending the weary work bones.




Fondly remembered are the photos reveling with history, yet standing amidst today as garden objects...like the one titled farmers' best hand, helper, and the one titled the globe of the setting sun at Andover. Sunset is recurring, yet each appearance is different each day; casting its glow on the sphere-like-globe remaining an object of art abstractedly present.




The photo guarding to protect, provides the image of days past and perhaps where a nation once stood; with the guards posing as a reminder, causing one to stop and take stock and soldier onward for the better.




With remembrance there is trauma revealed and relived; like the mentioned poet/author Franz Wright whose bout with depression helped spur some of his poems.
