Another view looking out toward North Cove; the title is a direct quote from a neighbor of ours on the renovation of this property, and its recent selling price.

The first – and probably only – draft of a panoramic stitch of four 35mm film images from two decades ago.
I had a thought about heading north to revisit (but first find) this scene and shoot it again with my current digital equipment – but that seems to have passed.
BTW, the rooflines of the barn were really that lopsided (which may mean that it is no longer there). Also, shooting this scene with a 35mm digital might require only one shot – and cropped at that – to match the quality of this entire 35mm film sequence.

Another from the 35mm film archives.

The term “freakism” was probably coined by the man jumping off the building here in 1970, Bart Howe. It was mostly a name we used for each other, a nod to those parts of us not in the mainstream. It grew to be a genuine “ism”, and also: a mantra, a rebel yell and outright babble at times.
Three decades have passed since we spent any time together; the last being a midwinter hike to the summit of Camel’s Hump, and an overnight stay under a Wolf Moon, where we fed the fire – literal and metaphorical – all night long.
Fast forward: I play music in nursing homes, and after one performance I emailed this little anecdote to a friend of mine:
“As I was packing up, this old gal with a rolling walker comes by, smiles and says ‘… nostalgic..’ and walks on. Inscrutable Zen Master, throwing down a koan !!! Yikes !!!”
And so I say there is more to nostalgia than first meets the mind’s eye.

Gotta love this “farm truck” – a 1969 Chevy C20, 350 V8 – waiting for the season to turn.

Deep in VT hill towns, where upwards of two feet of snow has fallen in the past two weeks, the signs of Spring don’t seem as prominent as down country. But even residents of this town feel the inexorable pull: “…these piles were twice as high a week ago..”
