The Blind Old Man

 

This is one of my favorite photos of Popcorn, and it was taken by Tim Viencowski in the Spare Room Gallery after our opening reception for the show, Sweet/Unsweet. We had all eaten too much good food and Tim, Michele, Popcorn and I plopped on the futon couch that used to be Sam's bed in what used to be Sam's room and we watched 4 episodes of Mad Men in a row. Popcorn is most happy when you are sitting, and then he will sit next to you -or even better- on your lap. He is 60 lbs., but he feels more like 40, so it's okay. He can't see and he can't hear, but he always knows where you are. He always makes me think of nice things to say.
