Here is a bit of the house that we will be exploring in this set. This will likely be a longish series -- I really loved this house.

News: I am showing photos the month of May at Inman Perk in Atlanta as part of a group show. Here is a copy of the show card.

Song of the day: "Bird Flu" by M.I.A.

Poem of the day:
"HIGH grace, the dower of queens; and therewithal
Some wood-born wonder’s sweet simplicity;
A glance like water brimming with the sky
Or hyacinth-light where forest-shadows fall;
Such thrilling pallor of cheek as doth inthrall
The heart; a mouth whose passionate forms imply
All music and all silence held thereby;
Deep golden locks, her sovereign coronal;
A round rear’d neck, meet column of Love’s shrine
To cling to when the heart takes sanctuary;
Hands which forever at Love’s bidding be,
And soft-stirr’d feet still answering to his sign:—
These are her gifts, as tongue may tell them o’er.
Breathe low her name, my soul; for that means more. "
- Dante Gabriel Rossetti, From “The House of Life: a Sonnet-Sequence.” III. Her Gifts
