The Enchanter's Theorem

This image is part of the Kinsey Institute Permanent Collection. The Kinsey would be formally and in full: The Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender, and Reproduction. It is one of the things that I am the most proud of and that I cherish as one of my greater accomplishments. I can still remember vividly the day that I received the letter from the curator, asking to include it and Dark Bast to the collection.

This is an actual arrested moment. A frozen moment in time that was not planned. The Mouse would not settle. She was not interested in posing. So the Ant got in the shot. And what I ended up with was probably one of the more perfect triple aspect images ever. Maiden, Mother, Crone.

I love this image for so many reasons. Knowing that it will be in the care of a museum for as long as that museum exists… There are no words for that.

A giclee of this image is in the permanent collection of The Kinsey Institute.

Yes.

*That* Kinsey Institute.

It makes me so warm and fuzzy and proud whenever I look at this picture to know that three of my all time favorite people are immortalized that way. This really doesn't do the image justice, honestly. The print is even richer in color and the Mouse looks even more ephemeral, a little angel in truth kneeling down to kiss her Ant on the nose.

Best of all?

This is an accidental shot. So, an example of the Arrested Moment if ever there was.

Natural light.

I don't think Mouse was even two years old at this point...

Doing so so so much better today. Correct application of vitamins and the Bean continues to be a champion sleeper. Apparently I have come to some form of detente with my own ability to sleep. That and I've been remembering to take the damn melatonin before bed. Yay, supplements!

Last night, Live at Abbey Road had a segment with David Gilmour playing three songs from his solo album. Love that man's guitar playing, even if his solo band should really be called Half of Pink Floyd. Because it is. Best of all? The Bean apparently digs David Gilmour. A lot. He hit a sequence of major chords in the beginning of the bridge on "On An Island" that lit her up in this HUGE smile .

That's my girl. Wait till I play some Joe Satriani for you.

So, on the drive in, I cued up On An Island. "Remember that night/White steps in the moonlight..."

I also have started working on the new photo brochure so I can get some packages out to galleries. All the info is wrong on the old one, and I want to add the current images, like Lampost Wood.

Life is good. Thank you, dear gods.
