Daughter of the Circus

I am 32 years old. I have no kids. I have no house, but I am traveling in Europe on the crutch of my art. These photos are from the road and from the belly of the whale. They are an ongoing series 'till I die. Me and photocar and the love of my life, I know she is out there and I will find her.

I once was in Paris, 10 years ago when I was asked to write a bio so I could stay in some crumby bookstore for free. I had been traveling Europe for months and I carried a photo of my love, it was called MY LOVE BY THE WINDOW. It was in my notebook and as I was writing this bullshit bio the photo flew out of the notebook and into the river.

This photo was all I had, I saw it sink into that river. I almost jumped in. She was gone and I had to let her go but one thing I know, as I sit here on the road of my life and you sit wherever you are right now, down in the mossy depths of the Seine river with the shopping carts and old lost memories and childhood toys
that photo sits forever.

MY LOVE BY THE WINDOW AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SEINE.
