If anyone should happen to receive this message, hi hello! I would like to tell you that I’ve made a book called We know the lights will go out but we don’t know when, although perhaps you know this already? Maybe you even own this book, paid good money, and are now wishing I would reconsider my strict “No refunds under any circumstances” policy, who’s to say!? Anyhow, if you’re still with me and I hope you are, I would like to lovingly inform you: yes, it’s true, I’ve made a book, and here is a picture of me holding up a spread that features a cartoonish version of Dimitri Shostakovich dreaming he is a limnologist on aqueous adventures!!!
I am trying, in this picture, to keep from smiling with unseemly braggadocio, delighted as I am with how this picturebook turned out! Indeed this is a 140-page artist’s book, printed on gourmet uncoated paper, Smyth-sewn, and bound in linen hardcovers! Here I am again, relieved to realize the book turned out well and now I have no reason to sit in a gutter and cry while it’s raining!
Anyhow, should you find yourself intrigued or interested and would like to perhaps a acquire a copy, I will encourage you to get in touch with me posthaste, and don’t be afraid to sing to me with loving gusto!!!

Anyhow: I’m no monster! In my fashion, I try when possible to help instead of hinder, and in case you’re still with me and I hope you are, here is a photograph I took in easy happiness. It depicts a late-season Goldeneye among the easy white highlows with some greens.
and here’s a fox among the silver halides. It is safe and healthy fun to photograph our local fauna using film, believe me!
Anyhow, hi hello! It’s nice to know you, even if I don’t! It may interest you to know that I post words and pictures almost every day on Instagram, which is a horrifying app or site, but I try my best to make the best of it. I can be found here:

In conclusion: I don’t know who you are, but I would like to thank you from the bottom of my birdheart, ghostbrain, etc!
Keep singing; keep slugging; always onward; love only!
