MONUMENTAL

I did this mat 20 years ago from a photo shot in 1988. This homeless man had a pink umbrella and he was hiding his face under it, I think because he was ashamed. He could have been a GI because he had a duffle bag that were commonly used by soldiers. I'm pretty sure because I know duffle bags. Anyway, as I passed this guy the photo aligned itself and I pulled the trigger. I feel I need to remind people there are people still living in the streets, even in the capital of the richest country in the world.

PRIME TIME

The people in the graves there, this is their prime time. I've always had a morbid fascination with cemeteries and have photographed many of them over the years. My outlook may be a bit on the dark side, but after all, my name is Doom.

TERMINAL BAR: SPOTTED in MADRID

The Terminal Bar's 41st street facade is the backdrop in one of David Wojnarowicz's 42 photographs that comprise the Arthur Rimbaud in New York series, shot from 1978-1979. Wojnarowicz apparently posed people in various locations while wearing a cut-out face of Arthur Rimbaud. Thanks to the keen eye of Rie Yamamoto who spotted this while visiting the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in Madrid, Spain.

GRAND CANYON

In the futuristic year of 2000, My wife and I took a mini van tour from Las Vegas to get this photo op. I usually don't over-shoot, but in this instance I took 12 shots. When I used the cut-out dots from the same photo for the concentric rings on the mat, the layering created an abstract panoramic effect.

To my wife Rita: Happy 41st anniversary!
Ok, my son forget to post this yesterday on the actual anniversary but I don't know how to use a telephone, so I couldn't remind him.
