Comments on The Hospital Ceiling

wow. that is just so incredibly DEEP.

I remember when, on first moving into the condo in Fremont, there was a giant tree outside and how fun it was to stare up at the branches outside.

Sadly, the termites got it.

Trees are magical creatures.

Can't say there is anything spectacular about any of those pictures. Especially the "hospital bed" shots. Those are actually just generally boring and thoughtless.

junk.

thanks for the reminder: I need to make a dental appointment.

jesus christ, if this is what fascinates you, I'm doomed in this fucking city. I often wondered why I get ignored by the Stranger - now I know: I haven't made utterly vapid "conceptual" art. I'll get right on it.

@6 - well, tell us when you do and we can get the NYT to call you an artist then.

I saw this month that Ms. Graves is a contributor to The Believer as well.

If I didn't "get" her much before, I surely do now.

Hospital ceiling photographs... wow. I'll go take some pictures of my local BP parking lot and have it be illustrative of what you see right before you die after getting shot in the back or something. DEEP.

The light-in-the-forest shot is cool, and kinda ethereal.

The tree, lit up in the foreground, so bright it almost casts a shadow on the sky: Wow. Just wow. I could stare at that photo all day. Even more than at the photo of the Mies Van der Rohe house in Slog last month. I dunno what it is about trees and weird light but it strikes at something in me.

Edward Hopper could have painted that tree.
