Many thanks to @jyesko for the heads up re the first of many Rearview retrospectives in Gapers Block -- in which this shot of saxophonist Chinatsu Nakano, from a Sun Ra Symposium sometime back [1], appears again.

[1] The symposium took place at the Hyde Park Art Center in Chicago's Hyde Park -- fervent hot bed of domestic terrorists and school reformers.


p.s. Dear Sarah Palin: God knows you're lying.

been a while

Haven't been shooting around Chicago much, so it's been awhile since I've posted anything to the Gapers Block Flickr group.

They were kind enough to run my no carts beyond this point yesterday.

Thanks, guys.

feel the love

Made Gapers Block Rearview, baby.

p.s. At this posting my pic is in curious proximity to an allusion re zombies. Coincidence? You tell me.
