Eight years since I last made a print, processed film. I had to quit newspaper to get back to where I belong. First contact sheet, Lukas and Jannel in Lyle. An old roll of film laying about the house, among other old rolls of film. Then a roll of 120, T-Max 100, out of the Yaschica D TLR, more of Lukas by Otter Creek east of Lyle. Then on to Iowa, Trix-400 shot this year. Some of the Iowa Caucus. Santorum, Gingrich, Ron Paul. Long may you run.

The tractor in the field to my right keeps up my ridiculous speed at 55 mph and he's pulling a mower, cutting down corn stalks for silage.
And the operator, a young man, grins with pride, working his dad's land at such a pace.
We meet eyes, he gleams with the advances of technology in his hands.
He's confident, hot-dogging in his tractor.
I'm struck with panic, I can't slow down, I've never roller-skated this fast.
Surely he sees my fear.
Approaching a turn in the road, unable to make the turn and the gravel of the shoulder nears so I jump out of my skates.
Barefoot, I touch down like a jet plane, running, frantically running to keep my feet under me.
But my legs are heavy and feet lagging behind.
With my eyes wide open, I make a push to run faster.
I feel my body rise upright.
I'm going to make it!
With a secure stride I slow myself, and stop.
