Photo Blog

Every now and then I like to do a photo heavy post.  I wonder if I should make this a weekly tradition; a phot installment.  my voice through visual representation.  

Meh.  

maybe I'll just do it whenever I please.

Like today!

This week I've been collecting images as I research and poke around for my cedar falls writing.  As you know, everyone in Cedar Falls has secrets, and many of those secrets are of a sexual nature.  Affairs, infidelity, deviances, fetishes, illegal acts, immoral acts, betrayals, deception--- ahh, all the scintillating. scandalous, salcious things about the sex act.  

Well, i got to thinking how very universal this is.  We all tend to feel like, in the moment, that we are the only ones experienceing it.  Like it is new, or special, or unique; but if we are to be perfectly frank and utterly post-modern about it:  It's all been done before.

It is timeless.  It is universal.  It happens.  It has happened before, it is happening now, it will happen again ad infinitum. 

Sometimes I get so wrapped up in writing that I can't remember why my characters are making these awful choices.  Or I get so detached from reality that I have to, like, remind myself of the pain and shock and betrayal one would feel to discover a partner's infidelity.  Or the guilt one partner may feel over 'fucking up' and sleeping with someone else (i won't say 'by mistake', but by lapse of judgment?  or in a moment of weakness?).

I puzzle out, on an almost daily basis, whether or not people can love more than one person truly.  If someone who is having an affair can also be committed to their spouse and marriage.  If kinky fetishes that are extra-marital are compulsions or fundamental needs or just for funsies.  

now, I don't have answers, oh hell no!  Lol.  I have opinions, many of them, and I have history and human nature to look to for inspiration and motivation and interpretation, but no answers.  

So, from time to time I do provocative google image searches to serve as writing prompts or to refresh the page of my imagination, if you will.  

For your enjoyment, and maybe a sneak preview of some themes\storylines that will be wandering into Cedar Falls before the end, please to enjoy-- the photo blog!


This was a post secret I grabbed ages ago because it so completely summed up my Velvet character in a nutshell.  I am also enamored of the mis-spellings on post secret cards.  Halfs instead of halves.  Plus I am a sucker for a redhead...

I love every fucking thing about this image.  The color, the tone, the questions!  It reminds me of Jonah velvet and Viola, but it also makes me want to write a hundred other stories too!  LOVE LOVE LOVE!
Heeeheehee.  Kids are a-DOR-able!
Decisions, decisions, right?
yup.  So fun.
whaaaaaaaaaat???? so weird I couldn't NOT love this.
Would you want to fuck a guy who hides under a rug?  Just sayin...
Twix.  WTF?  Is the wife frigid?  Is that what I'm to gather?  Or am I overthinking a fun twix ad?
I dig these old pulp fiction novella covers!  Look at the tagline above the title!  Brills.
Fucking Brilliant.
The Romantic Infidelity.  I'd bet there's fog and a train station and a solitary tear down a dewy cheek.
I guess we're meant to understand that they're having an affair by the level of enjoyment they are experiencing?
Teen Group Sex! 
   
So Fucking Cute!!




Lol.  My fave.
