Mostly Mornings

A tumblr blog of photographs spanning several years, taken mostly and eventually only in the morning, and eventually mostly from the same position of the same tree. I abandoned the project in 2018.

Sometimes I think it’s a known fact that we are not paid enough money because certain forces know that we’re gonna play this music whether we get money for it or not, you understand? And to some extent, we’re taken complete advantage of, you dig? And to another extent, it’s our gift to the world, so it don’t matter.
