Louis Ingalls Sturges

- painter and photographer -

remembers Bob Dylan playing

when she took her first real hit of a cigarette

in her friend's Volvo station wagon

while driving through Maine.

INTO THE MYSTIC

I took these two pictures

from the High Line

last July.

I live too close

to go so

infrequently.

NYC

is

home.

These two pictures remind me of my childhood.

This one, because I secretly loved when the girl behind me would braid my hair in line.
Elementary school, and we sat in two parallel rows...
Was it every recess?

And this one, because it was the view from my deck.

Or a very similar one, at least.

An amazing little something.

I'm a sucker for a little rhyme...

...and for printed matter.

Marcio Simnch

This added such romance to my drive

down Pacific Coast Highway,

from Montecito

to Malibu.

Is it real?
