Crack

Posted on May 10, 2013 by stephenarcher

I joined a writ­ing group for a while. I should be in sev­eral of these. I like to write and I am not ter­ri­ble at it. I like words and I know what lots of them mean and I can … Con­tinue read­ing →

Pyramidamid

I would love to say that you start with a blank. But it’s me. I start with a blank. Then I have eggs and toast and cof­fee on the road and then I end up some­where with my cube shaped … Con­tinue read­ing →

Sun sets on the real world

Posted on October 22, 2012 by stephenarcher

Not sure if I have ever needed any­thing enough to know if I hoped for it for real. Some­thing in me resists hope. Part of it is my per­son­al­ity – I can be, I am, fine with this lit­tle bit, less even, … Con­tinue read­ing →

The Curves

Posted on August 5, 2012 by stephenarcher

I looked at my phở­tographs today, some of them. They streamed across my tv, I don’t remem­ber how. I remem­bered that before we looked at paper prints and i like those but these are good too, imme­di­ate. I liked my … Con­tinue read­ing →

No Beginning and No Ending

Posted on April 22, 2012 by stephenarcher

I am going to try to relate this to you in a way that does not sound con­trived. It’s impos­si­ble. It is con­trived. Con­trived means that it was obvi­ously planned. This, what I am telling you about, was, and yet … Con­tinue read­ing →

Boing!

Posted on January 10, 2012 by stephenarcher

Do phở­tographs con­vey the truth? Phở­to­jour­nal­ism schools have whole courses that make up answers to this ques­tion. It is impor­tant for jour­nal­ists who are writ­ing to tell the truth, I think we would agree. It is impos­si­ble, “true”, but striv­ing … Con­tinue read­ing →

Drought

Posted on November 15, 2011 by stephenarcher
