On 99 is another Viaduct-linspried thing. I didn't know I had two. The chorus is the keeper - the vocal is about some parent telling their child about the times before the bombs hit. I wrote it when Iraq was the target, now there could be multiple inspriations - Ukraine, Gaza, and today the sole casualty of the Iranian attack on Israel. Where is this headed? Systems crash at night - the thought was that society had crashed. Decay and break down. I found this nighttime video experiment Leesa and I did. Slow zooms into different plants lit by a flashlight make for high-contrast and bright colors against a black background. I thought these tulips were especially nice. I did not appreciate her genius with plant life like I do now, but at least I had the presence to capture it here and there. We're moving out of these digs soon and I'm finding piles of video for projects never quite completed. Link to the post.
