Dreams of the Lucid Variety


My nephew HBH is a prolific songwriter, and sometimes musical companion with myself and his Uncle Myles, as the trio MUNCLE. I am sometimes called upon to create art for album covers for HBH, and enjoy his "just run with it" approach to creative collaboration. That combined with his sometimes surreal soundscapes and idiosyncratic lyrics give me a lot of room and material to work with. Within a couple days ideas began to solidify, and I doused found objects, some quickly modified, with a half cup of water for this photo, inspired by the tracks he let me hear.

Initially, HBH gave me the title "Lucid Grave", but I liked his song "Dreamer", so I suggested "Lucid Dreamer". He then offered "Dreams of the Lucid Variety", which I liked a lot. He's a very interesting man and fun collaborative partner. I'd like to make a video for 'Dreamer" in the future- until then, check out a video I made for his song "Halloween":

Budweiser Truck, Ballpark Village

I'm pretty sure this is a Model A stake bed out in front of Ballpark Village, adjacent to Busch Stadium, but I don't know the year. It caught my eye with it's tasteful livery and great color! Fun!

Rudd Excavator

Like a lot of boys young and old, I'm fascinated by construction machinery and usually try to get a shot when I discover one. This Rudd Excavator was parked up the road from my neighborhood this past August. See my June post on the Komatsu excavator!

Barrel of Monkeys

From the Missouri History Museum's current exhibition, Toys of the '50s, '60s, and '70s, this Barrel of Monkeys set piece took on an apocalyptic 12 Monkeys tone through one of the filters on my phone camera apropos of the recent presidential election upset. May all be well.

The View

This random shot for the Spies, Traitors, and Saboteurs exhibit at the Missouri History Museum has taken on new meaning for me lately, requiring no explanation considering the current political climate. Be civil to one another and remember that just because there's a circus going on doesn't mean you need to join in.

Little Black Dress No.2

digital photo, May 2016

Another taken visiting the Missouri History Museum in Forest Park, where my family was attending the Little Black Dress exhibit for Mother's Day.  As I said in my last post, the spectral essence affected by multiple glass cases and overhead lighting was a gift, further revealing the feminine elegance of the exhibit upon review.

The photo of the Spirit of St. Louis replica featured in my last post was taken visiting the Missouri History Museum in Forest Park, where my family was attending the Little Black Dress exhibit with my mother and sister for Mother's Day. I must say it was surprisingly interesting and elegantly assembled, so much so that I had to snap a few pictures. The multiple glass cases and overhead lighting granted some spectral essence that pleased me upon review.

Spirit of St. Louis


Another attraction I love in St. Louis Forest Park is the Missouri History Museum, within the main hall of which a replica of the Spirit of St. Louis hangs. The airplane was piloted by Charles Lindbergh from New York to Paris in 1927- a trio that took over 33 hours! Click on the photo above for a closer view. See my August post on Forest Park!
