POTD: Down the Middle

Tucson, Arizona
2015

I always enjoyed the gnarled old Russian Olive trees on the University of Arizona campus when I was in graduate school there way too many years ago (40 to be more precise). My photography interests were rather dormant back then so I never photographed them back then, but I remedied that on our visit in March. I believe the last four decades are more noticeable on me than they are on these trees; they look very much the same as I remember them back then.

Under the Gum Tree

Under the Gum Tree is a “literary micro-magazine” that is published both electronically and in hard copy. They specialize in creative nonfiction writing and also the visual arts. Recently they asked me if they could publish some of my work, in particular parts of my Lives Real and Imagined project.

When I got my hard copies of the magazine I was impressed with the quality of the presentation, both of my work and that of Gale Hart, the visual other artist in that issue. They may be a small outfit but they do an impressive job. My work presents as well there as it did when it was published in Lenswork magazine in 2013. (Technically the printed images in Lenswork are of better quality, that is just one aspect of how work comes across in a magazine.)

In conjunction with the publication, the magazine interviewed me via email. If you are so inclined, you can read the results on their blog here.
