SWARTHOS

Just finished making my annual video update for the Great Repository. Thought I’d jump in & leave a mark in here as well.

The sun beats down on this urban landscape, its rays bouncing off glass and concrete, creating a hazy aura that hangs over the city like a toxic fog. This is now Los Angeles, a place where the temperature rises with the intensity of the traffic and the skies are tainted with a photochemical hue. It’s Christmas Eve, but you wouldn’t know it by looking at the bustling streets and neon lights. It’s just another night in the City of Angels, where the ghosts of past memories and lost dreams haunt its inhabitants. A memory flashes in my mind, of a different time and place. I was just a boy, sitting in a theater with my father, circa 1970, watching the Scrooge Musical. Oh, what a fine memory it was, and how I long for more moments like that. But alas, life and this city have a way of consuming and forgetting, leaving us with only fragments of the past.

Nothing more to say this evening. Merry Christmas
