Salt and Pepper
Monday, October 23rd, 2006
Warren, Connecticut. I’m standing here cooking my morning oatmeal and while I’m zoning out stirring it I’m watching an arc of intense sunlight move across the butcher block table. I can see that the light will eventually strike the salt and pepper shakers so I let the oatmeal simmer while I set up camera and tripod. Of course, I’ve now recorded for all to see that our salt is almost completely crystalized and both shakers need a cleaning. However, I like this shot enough so that I’m going to go public with our slovenly shakers.

Hello R,
Love the salt & pepper. I’m viewing it right here at the public library in downtown Pt. Arena, CA, just north of Gualala. Was just thinking of your kitchen yesterday while I prepared morning coffee up on Gualala ridge. All the best to you & Anne…. LJ
LJ: The thought of you up there in that wonderfully isolated place is great. Quiet, calm, meditation, maybe a bit of yoga. I think you need a camera so you can work on some imagery!
