Triangulated when Wet









I still use my first digital camera, the Nikon 990,
but the handidandiness of my iphanny4
makes it only occasional.

I miss its rotating body,
lens swinging separately from screen.
I miss that sense of a world opening up,
like it gave me when I first discovered its macro capacities.

But I stray. Isaac, my dog and long captive subject, lured me off track.
His fur is the point, though, in recalling what Vince told me the
sculptor George Demetrios (20th century Gloucester, MA Sculptor)
said about organizing hair on a head, or body.


"Think about how it groups itself in forms of triangles, hair
connecting and resolving in a shape, which for the most part is pointed."
