"In the mid 1950's Frank O'Hara wrote a book called Lunch Poems. Each day he would step out of his mid-town office, walk his way to the Olivetti typewriter showroom, and bang out a poem about the noisy splintered glare of a Manhattan noon. For the past few years I have worked behind a desk not far from where O'Hara once sat. After I was given O'Hara's book my lunch breaks started to get longer. Sliding out of the revolving door I found myself transformed into a hungry sailor with one hour of liberty from his ship. Some days the sidewalk offered a dramatic or romantic one act play; a pedestrian might fall, a couple might kiss . . . but most of the time I was looking at people who walked towards and away from me. The quiet gestures of strangers in daylight became significant, and the photographs i made became my lunch pictures."

mom wondered around the kitchen cleaning red fruits. the stopper for the door looked so strange surrounded by all those lighter shades. mom bought paper towels and a lighter at the store today.

doug dubois

i hope doug dubois updates the family portion of his website. he was a major influence on my own family project. he redefines the family portrait. dinosaurs never looked so good.
