Smoky Moods

Smoke.... 

many great associations, smoky lapsang souchang tea, a campfire, barbeque, good scotch, a mellow sax, a certain kind of singing voice but the Alaskan forest fires have once again filled our skies with haze with 80 forest fires burning currently, most of them in the interior. This is so common for our summers here, occurring after several days of hot weather and some lightning strikes, most don't come within miles of any human habitation.

Because I did a color post recently I am moved to do a more monochromatic post today to match the sepia toned atmosphere pervading our neighborhood.



                Normally you can see the majestic mountains from up here on the deck of the 
Garaj Mahal. (do you see my sweet little teardrop trailer?)





                        I used vintage photos printed on muslin to embellish these little bags.






These side by side faces fascinated me.
