Indira Ganesan, Nasturium Interior, 2017

There are many ways to jolt a a creative stasis. Last week, I took a photography class taught by photographer and writer, Joanne Dugan . In an imitimate class of six students, we took photographs for assignment and wrote corresponding text. Such a simple preocess, yet the effects were startling. My fellow students photographed and told stories about children, street signs, the erosion of the Herring Cove parking lot, inanimate oddities around town, and the Ptown 4th of July, a celebration emphasizing individual freedom, and rights for all people.

I photographed flowers, close-up.

Casting

In the morning at the ocean, several men were casting lines. I wondered what they would catch as the waves broke in ferocious froth, and the fog lowered. A fish that would not snap their gear, unlike a shark or tuna.

It doesn’t feel like the eve of summer solstice, more like March. The roses are late, and sweeet pea still timid. Underneath, things are rooting, moving around, like the invisible fish these men seek.
