Privilege and Power. To Have and to Have Not. The world is full of trouble. Sometimes it knocks on the door. Sometimes it doesn't knock. It just comes in uninvited. Sometimes it walks by you and you think you've escaped. Then it takes you from behind. When you get it, you want to give it to somebody else. You want to give it back. Times are tough. What can I say? My fortunes are shifting. If you can call them that. It is too generous a word, perhaps. The worst part, I guess, is waiting for the train to run you over. But maybe it is when the train finally runs you down.
In the picture is a very pretty full-time professional model. She worked with me gratis. This is what I gave her back for her trouble. My idea of a pretty picture. I don't think I'll make a living at portraiture.
'when the train finally runs you down'... and flattens you like a pancake and you are a useless lump of broken bread with only the syrup holding you together...
