Separate Out Of One

While I planned another blog entry things came up.   Time passed.  As I look back at the poster I made that creates a display of separate photos out of one, the poster appears now similar to the Lost Letters that fan out, separate from the Pony Express Rider in the Google 155th Pony Express Keyboard Interactive game. 

It has been fun to play the Pony Express Game.  I wonder if the history is true – if horses were lost in avalanches along the route, or if they did run into rock formations or fences.  It reminds me of Deconstruction. 

To have created a Deconstruction of the photo of the Library allowed me to glimpse the chair, the table, the lights in the ceiling with more slow attention, just as these things were glimpsed with attention years ago.  

 

Another Version of the Photo From Previous Blog

This version of the photo of the drawing is not cropped.  It was interesting to keep the drawing notebook.

Drew a little before the bibliotek opened at 9 -

            I spent only an hour looking at a book

            I had planned to spend only an hour.

            I had a banana from a stand in the cobbled street.

            Here roofs all red tile and the fjerde terns are calling and playing in the water.  Then a water boat churns toward them and it is a change.

            A crow sound and it is gray and black.

            There is a chickadee comes and lights on a tree branch but it is yellow?  Maybe the light!

            Then a duck thinks and heads toward me and another chases it into the water - 

            a stripe on his chest?

            another black and gray raven.

Diary Of Trip to Denmark, Laura Jensen: At the early morning rainy library to drop ten books in the book slot...

(From the Internet I have used a site to create a posterization from a photo.  The photo was on the Pacific Northwest Room's section of the Tacoma Public Library - I think I could just have shared the photo.  Uncertainty remains, and the content of the photo is The Library, uncertain year.)  This was the McCormick Branch Library for so many years.  Fifty years ago (in 1990, twenty-five years before) I got an application form at the downtown library, completed the form at home, turned the form in at the McCormick Branch Library.  They called me, interviewed me, and accepted me.  I started work in July 1965, and worked twenty hours a week for two years. 

I believe my flight to Denmark left in the afternoon.  When I was on my way to the airport on the trip to Denmark, Sweden, and Finland in 1990, the McCormick Branch Library entered my notes.  It was a different book slot I was accustomed to after just about a year and a half:  the library lists Autumn 1988 as the opening of the McCormick Regional Library.  The 1927 McCormick library became a meeting room.  I looked into the ceiling as I turned off the chandeliers at the end of a day.

Tuesday morning I rose early and took the bus to the early morning rainy library to drop ten books in the book slot...I caught the bus with my luggage, missed one, so I carried it past the park, jay-walked over Division Avenue, and folded my cotton shawl under the awning...
