“Photographs have the kind of authority over imagination today which the printed word had yesterday, and the spoken word before that. They seem utterly real. They come, we imagine, directly to us without human meddling, and they are the most effortless food for the mind conceivable”
Excerpt from “Public Opinion” by media critic Walter Lippmann, 1922

I never wanted MCAD to be the only thing I had.
Before it was always, well,
If I wasn’t doing this what else would I be doing?
I could tell you a thousand other doings I’d do.
For every minute I’ve sat indoors, sun burning to dusk,
For every bloody hang nail and dog eared page,
For every time I’ve ruined a negative out of haste,
sun pouring across it and ripping it back from the world,
For every time I’ve silenced my gramma’s phone calls,
while paying a long distance rate to sit in class,
For every empty guilt trip and reasonable request
I’ve smothered
I would sit near the water, too privileged for words,
too tired to cry, too blessed to need it,
and swim with you
as slow as the clouds crawl.
