Red Frame/White Light

Multiple photos and posts, all from one day. Broke my own rules but sometimes you gotta color outside the lines. And why not? I almost used a different photo of Jake here…one of him “smiling”. But then I saw this one. Eyes closed like a Robert Mapplethorpe portrait. Like he is taking in a deep breath or saying a prayer? Lord, make me a bird so I can fly far, far away?

The Red and the Black

In 1968, a group of contemporary artists named “Art for the Cities, Inc.” had a concept for 9 abstract sculptures in D.C. Burns Park. These were meant to be temporary but four sculptures still remain today. So, why some and not others? Here’s Jake in front of two of them. They’re both called “Untitled”. The closest one is by Wilbert Verhelst made of plywood. The furthest one is by Roger Kotoske, made of plywood and fiberglass.

Denver Parks #27

Jake travels by car along Colorado Boulevard frequently. Here’s another park that we’ve driven by thousands of times. It’s a triangle between Colorado, Alameda and Leetsdale. It’s almost halfway between his two houses. Today was the first time we’ve ever stopped here.

I've Seen That Movie Too

Here’s the finished video from the interview that Jake and I did at Orthopets. We taped this on my birthday when my nephew, Grant, was in town. They asked me to do a testimonial about the leg brace for his torn ACL/CCL. We still can’t do surgery on his leg, due to the chemo, so this is a great alternative.
