inevitability
yes of course there is
inevitability,
will it keep us together
or drive us apart?

hopping a freight
and posing with
old cars

Tom C.- Mexico freight hoppingthat photo is a bit of an optical illusion... it is a cat walk on the top of a tank car... we mostly were in an open top empty gondola car

Jonathan with a Mercury in Ciudad Mante with one of the colorful cars I kept seeing and the boy in the photos was often out on the street and we became friends so he joined in the photo

Jonathan with a Mercury on the street in Ciudad Mante, Mexico-1978..

Jonathan in Ciudad Mante with a DeSoto 1978

Jonathan Fischer, in Ciudad Mante, Mexico 1978 with Chevy ... Mexico like Cuba at this time was a car heaven for 1950 era vehicles!

always now
the moment
blurring

clock face found in the leaves on a bike ride 4-12-14

Looking in to one of the ponds at the Plantations... 4-12-14

In one section of the stream -part of the Susquehanna- it ran through a chute under logs very swift moving and carrying right along some blue sky in a blur...4-11-15

stream winding through woods and fields below the hill the rest area was located on... here was looking down through hemlocks at a pool in the stream...4-11-15

Reflective beauty in a back water pool off of the fast flowing main stream of Six Mile this beautiful Sunday... the winter was a distant memory, long gone, far away today! 4-12-15

is it the prize
of growing older
these vivid dreams
so much more dramatic
then what I do awake
