Karl took some cute photos of me. ’tis no easy feat. i am notoriously unphotogenic. whilst being infinitely cute in real life, on paper or digitized, something between me posing(or not) and the blink of the shutter and the essence of my immeasurable cuteness is lost. i always attributed it to some photo gremlin traipsing in at the last minute to scare me into closing my eyes or making a weird constipated face. however, with mr. Sobczyk. the photos were at once winsome, whimsical, heady and thoughtful. he was terrifically affordable and well-selected to provide a back cover to the self-published collection of my works entitled«Doodles, dirges, poetry & prose: Alliteration for the soul».
