A delivery and some news
[One day, a manilla envelope just shows up, post marked as Repost, but lacking a return address. Inside is a single, matt 5x7 picture with a note. The picture, as what usually happens with him, moves after a few seconds of looking at it. The contents are not focused on any one person (cause that would be fucking creepy), but instead the steady flow of changes made from the metamorphosis of roadhouse to gym - more timelapse than a few moments recorded in time - and the loop ends on a shot of the sign tacked to the door. The note that comes with it is scribbled onto a torn yellow post-it and reads simply: Thought you might like this for posterity.]
[Much like the cat photos of a few months ago, another picture - this one black and white - shows up on Main Street. Different store, and this photo is flipped upside down until someone decides to turn it over.
This picture begins with the same street the photo is found on. Afternoon. The road is mostly empty, with mothers and telecommuting fathers and husbands, a few kids that are out early on work release all milling about on the sidewalk. Down the street comes the two racing cars and this photo is all about them. Without the sound, there's only the slight whirls of smoke, the deep tread of rubber laid down on the asphalt, the whirlwind of debris they leave behind and the stares of small town people in their wake. It almost looks like something out of a move in greyscale - which is doubtless why the photographer chose to desaturate it.]
