<p></p><p class="MsoNormal">A Respectful Open Letter to The Honourable David Eby,
M.L.A.,Premier of the Province of British Columbia</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Sir,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In my past I lived in two large metropolitan areas, Buenos
Aires & Mexico City. In both cases politicians spent a lot of effort in
fixing the problems of their large cities, sometimes at the expense of the
provinces or states of their countries.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I believe that here in Vancouver we are so concerned on the
events of what is called The Lower Mainland that the interior of our large
province is ignored.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Since my arrival with my two daughters and Canadian wife
to Vancouver in 1975 I was always a freelance photographer. For almost 30 years
I worked for <i>Canadian Pacific Limited</i> and gained experience on their railway
system. Because of the efficient railway system built by the English in
Argentina I have some knowledge of what could be done in BC.</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"> For many years I
photographed all the heads of the Federal and Provincial NDP. I vote NDP.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Nini Baird (now 90 and working on projects with BC Tel)
quite a few years ago started The Outreach Program of Emily Carr (now defunct)
which had artist/ teachers (I was one of them) go into the interior of BC to
impart artistic culture. I went to small towns and in many wonderful cases my
classes consisted of Indigenous peoples who were eager to learn photography.
Baird said that folks in the interior paid taxes for culture but got none of
it.</p><p class="MsoNormal">
<a href="https://blog.alexwaterhousehayward.com/2008/03/next-friday-rosemary-lauren-rebecca-and.html">Nini Baird's Baby & The Densification of Vancouver Through The Population Depletion Of BC's Interior
</a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have a daughter, now 55 who just retired as a teacher in
Lillooet. If I want to visit her or if she wants to visit me you need a car.
When she goes to Kamloops to see specialists, without her car she is stuck.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Lillooet has a lovely but empty train station. It is my
belief that from West Vancouver to Squamish there are places where short ½ km
double tracking could be built so a train going in one direction would wait for
the other to go past. I am old enough to have gone to Lillooet in a Budd car
train. Lillooet has a lovely but empty train station. Pemberton's is a café.<br /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">With the demise of Greyhound and little train activity in
the interior of BC Nini Baird wrote some years ago why<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Vancouver was getting so many “immigrants”
from the interior.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A carbon tax and an
increase in gasoline prices puts a burden on the people who live in our
province’s interior. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In 1530 Basque/Spanish priest Vasco de Quiroga arrived to
what is now Mexico. He settled in the now State of Michoacán. It seems that on
his way from Spain he read Thomas More’s Utopia. In Michoacán he taught the
Indigenous communities of each town to make something. To this day Paracho ‘s
guitars are famous as is the copper ware of Santa Clara del Cobre.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When I was repatriated after my service in the Argentine Navy
in 1967 I was placed in a Victory Ship (an improvement of Henry Kaiser’s
Liberty Ships) to my mother’s home in Mexico. It was only a few years ago that
I found out that my Río Aguapey had been built at the Burrard Shipyards.</p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYg0T7fgEBC9Xa4I-5kOj8ngQlfQx6xjMkN8emkWYzNU1ZEcg5j7x2r3rrYpBQW3s3JGTtBSoFfWsRLxQjf4suiByt_JHHtznwofvYzluodI3agw58RIRrK5yNklDLEgcQdJoVD-BlEDwOUhY7Qd6NM80EVYEnrVup-Pf4F_3mFCr95Y4nJLVY/s800/RioAguapey-a-AGN%20(1).jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="564" data-original-width="800" height="310" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYg0T7fgEBC9Xa4I-5kOj8ngQlfQx6xjMkN8emkWYzNU1ZEcg5j7x2r3rrYpBQW3s3JGTtBSoFfWsRLxQjf4suiByt_JHHtznwofvYzluodI3agw58RIRrK5yNklDLEgcQdJoVD-BlEDwOUhY7Qd6NM80EVYEnrVup-Pf4F_3mFCr95Y4nJLVY/w439-h310/RioAguapey-a-AGN%20(1).jpg" width="439" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">My Río Aguapey built at the Burrard Shipyards<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><br /> <p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Except for fruit and wine in the Okanagan, nothing is made
in the interior of our province.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some
years ago enterprising students of mine at Emily Carr began to design furniture
made of Parallam. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Considering that Lillooet’s motto is “<i>Guaranteed Rugged</i>”
they could manufacture camping equipment or boots.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What can you buy in Prince George that is made there?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you graduate from high school in Lillooet what can be
your future?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have this list that I ask my friends. Few know the answers
and I tell them that it is not their fault but that of the institutions
concerned:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">1. Who heads the VAG?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">2. Head of the Maritime Museum (and when was the last time
you went there?)</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">3. Director of the Museum of Anthropology.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">4. Head of Ballet BC.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">5. Head of the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">6. Who directs the Vancouver Opera?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">7. What is MOV and where is it?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">8. Name the good art gallery inside UBC.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">9. What is the Turning Point Ensemble and where does it
perform?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">10. When was the last time you went to a performance at the
Telus Theatre at the Chan Centre?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If writer Sean Rossiter were alive he would write in a
magazine or newspaper that no longer exists that the Queen E and the Vancouver Playhouse
are white elephants and that the Annex and Pyatt Hall are the future of performance
here. Tax dollars are wasted keeping the Queen E and the Vancouver Playhouse in working order.<br /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The only institution that does not need to sell advertising
and that could promote culture in our city and province is CBC Radio. There
is no will there to do anything about it.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">George Laverock, former head of classical music at the CBC
told me that Studio One has the best sound of any studio in all of Canada. This
studio (designed by Paul Merrick) is rented out to people that make videos.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And lastly sir, we have in Vancouver people in their 80s
with their marbles intact that live now in anonymity.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">1. George Bowering – the first Parliamentary Poet Laureate</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">2. George McWhirter – the first Vancouver Poet Laureate. </p><p class="MsoNormal">3. Nini Baird <br /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">4. Not that old at all, one of our finest poets Susan
Musgrave, is she remembered?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Yes, communication to our interior and culture should be of
your concern.</p><p class="MsoNormal">Sincerely yours,</p><p class="MsoNormal">Alex Waterhouse-Hayward <br /></p>

<p></p><p class="MsoNormal">1705. It’s autumn in northern Germany. A young composer sets
out from the city of Arnstadt to make the gruelling journey on foot to Lübeck,
almost 400 km to the north. His reason? To hear some music by a
68-year-old organist who is nearing the end of his career. But this
isn’t just any organist, and the steadfast walker isn’t just any young composer.
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Those of us who are enamoured with baroque music know the
story of Bach’s walk in 1705 to Lübeck to hear Buxtehude play the organ. We do know
(this is important) that he did get to the town and did hear the
composer/organist he so admired. Why is this important?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">At last night’s combination of fine baroque music, that did include
Bach and Buxtehude, UBC mathematics professor, Doctor Fok-Shuen Leung (Oxford, no less!) gave
and interesting talk on the subject of infinity. Judging by two young men who
questioned Leung after the concert talk, I believe that the proceedings might
have lasted as long as a hyperbola reaching the x-axis at infinity.</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhevBuD5VgvUl7xaCaIFJ7iopOn2jORrWTc21lNuGTQmlZHbKxOio6L1aHS4qxVnznltN-h3EPKd2E21tAbBlj0Zul8hfY0i1ln7DjOIE4KQYo3F_hTdn9Vr6Z59pkUj82NtVO9xdPsc5UTucIj2_rmk7NaHecQeudc6GgXaNfxYSN0VNPg-J3/s2358/Infinity%2004.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1575" data-original-width="2358" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhevBuD5VgvUl7xaCaIFJ7iopOn2jORrWTc21lNuGTQmlZHbKxOio6L1aHS4qxVnznltN-h3EPKd2E21tAbBlj0Zul8hfY0i1ln7DjOIE4KQYo3F_hTdn9Vr6Z59pkUj82NtVO9xdPsc5UTucIj2_rmk7NaHecQeudc6GgXaNfxYSN0VNPg-J3/w396-h265/Infinity%2004.jpg" width="396" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Dr. Fok-Shuen Leung<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><br /> <p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Leung told us about a hotel with an infinity of rooms. A
person shows up and wants to rent a room. He is told that the hotel is full.
The solution found, is to move the occupant of Room 1 to Room 2 and so on so
that the new guest occupies Room 1. From an infinity of rooms Leung arrived at the third part of his talk on the that entity that is infinitely perfect. Appropriately, inside a Roman Catholic church, that had to be God.<br /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My thoughts on those full hotel rooms, have to do with Bach and Buxtehude. Once
Bach arrived at the church(?), he has to make one step forward to enter and so
on. Like the old Zeno paradox of the hare and the tortoise, do they ever catch up?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Leung uses the logical conclusion that
somehow they do. By Leung’s logic we know then that Bach did listen to
Buxtehude play the organ.</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIqj5KArUDvNJ36q6wGtslSprjZpW4ekQPw2SFwxv0bksREFOD74u4UAXSete_z_25SBTlZmgeRdIp2f-_LZazeRY_vx3C8K6W32BougP2XrQ9v6UyMJoMnFj3o1bPb5KhZmQKI7AsqnMWV6FeeFzotLigzJSOcFyF-Ix790rsBz0c7Sa_aICx/s2358/Infinity%2001.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1575" data-original-width="2358" height="306" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIqj5KArUDvNJ36q6wGtslSprjZpW4ekQPw2SFwxv0bksREFOD74u4UAXSete_z_25SBTlZmgeRdIp2f-_LZazeRY_vx3C8K6W32BougP2XrQ9v6UyMJoMnFj3o1bPb5KhZmQKI7AsqnMWV6FeeFzotLigzJSOcFyF-Ix790rsBz0c7Sa_aICx/w457-h306/Infinity%2001.jpg" width="457" /></a></div><br /> <p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The group that played the music of the night, including
Schmeltzer (his fame never quite made him catch up to Bach, as un-Zeno like, he
died before Bach was born) was a stellar ensemble of young luminaries.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The masons that built the medieval cathedrals, with their

</xml><![endif]-->Going into my small Kitsilano deck garden at this time is
like meeting up with my Rosemary. I can imagine her smiling and telling me, “<i>Look,
Camellia ‘Donation’ is in bloom.</i>’ Or she would have said when I write this, “<i>Alex
what a nice primula you bought at Lougheed Garden Works.”</i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The garden is returning to the company of a woman I loved
for 52 years and nothing now can make me not think of her when I wake up, when
I go to sleep, when I dream and during the day. Every object in our little
house connects to her. And most of all, Niño and Niña, who are extra loving and
attentive to me.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">These cats showed me something that I did not realize
until after Rosemary died. When a cat wants affection this means that the cat
is affectionate. How was I ever to know that to want it is to give it? </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Rosemary was coolly standoffish with me but she had her ways
to show her affection and love. She would make sure I had extra tubes of
toothpaste, razors and shaving cream. When I smoked my pipe she put breath
mints on my night table. And she always made herself up and dressed to
perfection knowing that would please me.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It is funny how these plants almost have her face and
presence. I will put them in the ground tomorrow ( March 19 as it is supposed to be the last day of sun) knowing exactly where.
Rosemary taught me that.</p>

<p></p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">With friends and with social media I keep my political and
religious beliefs to myself. I don’t understand protest art. Some years ago I
went to an opening at the Museum of Anthropology of Indigenous artist <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas. In his
presentation he told us that one of the principal objectives of art was to make
us smile. I was astounded by his honest lack of hocus pocus.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://blog.alexwaterhousehayward.com/2007/07/michael-nicoll-yahgulanaas.html">Michael Nichol Yahgulanaas </a><br /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I rarely take photographs that are ugly or show ugliness.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am illustrating this blog with what might seem an odd
combination of people, my Rosemary and Arthur Erickson.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">While I will place this blog to fill a hole on15 March I am
writing it at 12:30 tonight 19 March.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When I turned off my lights and my cats got close I did what
I do every night which is to think that Rosemary is “not here” and she once
was.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Both she and I knew that we would never see each other again
after our deaths. If there will be any relief in me not thinking or grieving of
her loss it will only happen when I am dead.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I believe (me) that while I do not fear death I fear the
impossibility of not being able to think about not thinking, about not feeling
to feel, about not seeing to see. To think of nonexistence is perhaps against
our genes.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">At the same time I understand that while I am alive my
thoughts and memories of Rosemary make her somehow to be alive in my presence
by the very absent presence of her not being by my side when I turn off the
light.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">All that made me think of Arthur Erickson. I photographed
him so many times that we became friends. At a function hosted by Diane Farris
at a second location of her gallery (much smaller and down the block) I noticed
that Erickson was sitting alone at a table. It seemed that nobody wanted to sit
with a man that had Alzheimer’s. I sat down and said, “Arthur it seems to me
that your architecture had some inspiration from the Spanish/Mexican architect Felix
Candela. He smiled and we talked for close to an hour. We discussed Candela’s
pioneer work in the hyperbolic paraboloid structures <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>called hypars that featured curved roofs that
were thin but strong. We discussed that because of the calculus and and a
varying slope, straight lines could produce curves.</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><a href="https://blog.alexwaterhousehayward.com/2007/10/hypars-leibniz-newton-flix-candela.html">Felix Candela </a><br /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For as long as I am alive and thinking I will never forget
that intelligent conversation I had with the man. Tonight, just like Rosemary
was alive because of my thoughts of him. I can remember his radio voice, his
perfect diction and that smile of his.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Yes, Erickson and Rosemary are with me tonight.</p>

<p></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing">The Musicality of Seeing</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Music has always been central to my artistic practice. I
work with headphones on all day long. Music keeps me moving.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">I like all types of music although the improvisational
nature of jazz really suits my love of chance and experimentation when I
create.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Over time I have become very interested in synesthesia:
how one human sense can come through as another. I’m drawn to the idea of
interpreting music in visual terms and vice versa.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">I aim to create compositions that keep the eye restlessly
roaming all over the work, in the same way that the ear is pulled along through
the peaks and troughs of a symphony. </p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">I call this the musicality of seeing.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">This relief wall sculpture is a series of paper-cut
collage forms and drawing elements mounted on 3 layers of plexiglass with a
slight gap between them. I’ve translated the ubiquitous pandemic protective
barrier of plexiglass into a window into our contemporary moment.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">The work is activated by the position the viewer takes.
Forms come forward and others recede in a type of breathing.</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"> </p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"> </p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFleV5VkfWVsam6LBTywLKaVrFNdVlxM46uGTQi-uY_iL0biKZ5fVkHRJqjLnwkGDrPW_bL6Z9iNbwwYE6N3KFVLMiFZXuYCxWBbZMj_uQN3Ut-tD210kbfneEZdEFQwvIH8R8v2BLXTt1BUGL19pHJ_GgiGETTHIOp3Mys10E3KtMLGzTjWeI/s2281/Tiko%20Illustration%202024.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2281" data-original-width="1575" height="389" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFleV5VkfWVsam6LBTywLKaVrFNdVlxM46uGTQi-uY_iL0biKZ5fVkHRJqjLnwkGDrPW_bL6Z9iNbwwYE6N3KFVLMiFZXuYCxWBbZMj_uQN3Ut-tD210kbfneEZdEFQwvIH8R8v2BLXTt1BUGL19pHJ_GgiGETTHIOp3Mys10E3KtMLGzTjWeI/w269-h389/Tiko%20Illustration%202024.jpg" width="269" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Tiko Kerr - 2024<br /></td></tr></tbody></table> <p></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"> “Schwitter’s Symphony #8” (above) is my homage to the incredible

I have very little memory as to why I have this 9 exposure b+w contact sheet in my Tiko Kerr file. But I know that the young woman seen holding the painting is our mutual friend Anne Macauley who worked at the Dianne Farris Gallery.

<p></p><p class="MsoNormal">I bought these Narcissus a couple of weeks ago at Phoenix
Perennials. I wrote about the hellebores I got there in this blog.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://blog.alexwaterhousehayward.com/2024/03/rosemarys-corsican-hellebore-napoleon.html">Rosemary's Corsican Hellebores & Napoleon </a><br /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Rosemary had planted similar naricissus to these, but after a
few years, sometimes they do not come back. One (very lonely one) did, so I
wanted to cheer up the garden with a bit more yellow.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In her later years Rosemary got over her distaste for
yellow, orange and red in the garden. I know that had she been around or had
she accompanied me to Phoenix Perennials she would have smiled at the bright yellow
colours.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In this day and age of memory loss few might know that the
narcissus is the Easter Lilly.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i>In Norway and other European countries, the traditional
Easter plant is the Påskelilje, literally meaning “Easter lily. “The Påskelilje
is what we know as the daffodil (Narcissus spp.). In fact, early common names
for daffodil included Easter lily and Lent lily. Wikipedia<br /></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When I scanned the two blooms I was not too impressed and I
realized I had to do something more. Adding the two green stalks, I believe,
fixed it.</p><p class="MsoNormal">In the last couple of days with the better weather I have managed to do some gardening. If the nicer weather persists I will put into the ground tomorrow the two narcissus containers and the two hellebores I wrote about.<br /></p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><i><span style="mso-ansi-language: ES-MX;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span lang="ES-MX">FABULAR. v. a. Hablar sin
fundamento, o inventar histórias o cosas fabulosas. </span></span>Latín.
Fabulari. RAE (Real Academia Española)</i></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><i>Hablar</i> (Spanish for to talk) comes from the Latin Del
lat.<i> Fabul<span face=""Arial","sans-serif"">ā</span>ri</i>. Another
Spanish word <i>fábula </i>translates to fable which injects magic to the very act of
talking.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">To this day I can remember the voices of my father, mother
and grandmother. I can also remember the voice of my Rosemary. All of them had
an important qualification which made them all teachers (not <i>my father) and
this was diction. My grandmother taught me the refrains from the Don Quijote de
La Mancha</i>. She was part of my education that made me the man I am today.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Because teachers must face a roomful of students they
must learn to talk, and to be understood. Any teacher can face a crowd of
hundreds of people (I have) and have no fear of sudden becoming frozen in
fright.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Since I am a creature from another century, I remember
the first time I talked on a telephone. This was in Mexico City in 1955. We had
arrived from Buenos Aires in 1953 but getting a telephone (the black ones) involved
patience and bribery.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">In 1959 when I was a 10 grader at St, Edward’s High School, in Austin,Texas,
we had a pair of pay phones right outside the entrance to our dorm. Women and
one in particular whose name has receded in my memory, knowing we were boys in
a boy’s school, gave us the run-around. In those years we called such women “<i>prick
teasers”</i>. How were we to have known that we were early recipients of phone sex?</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">I have written before on the difficulty in this century
to converse with people on the phone.</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><a href="https://blog.alexwaterhousehayward.com/2023/09/mr-watson-come-here-i-want-to-see-you.html">Mr.Watson, come here, I want to see you</a><br /></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Only yesterday I was given these excuses after they
answered the phone:</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">1. I can’t talk. Call another time.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">2. A second person warned me that at 9PM I had woken him
up. He did talk and about 10 minutes later I heard a woman in the background
and was told, “This communication is over.”</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Because I live alone in my Kits home with my two cats I
find it important, necessary (I long for it) to converse with a human being. It
helps a tad that I talk to Niño and Niña in baby Spanish. I miss being on the
bed with Rosemary and discussing, our life, books, the NYTimes, the state of
our daughters and granddaughters and her plans for a forthcoming trip
somewhere.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Every day I wait for those two important calls from my
Alexandra and Hilary. When I arrive from shopping I immediately go to the kitchen
to see if anybody has left a message with my landline. This now may happen once
in a long week.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">I cannot understand the reluctance of people to converse.
I like to use this word as it is more often used in Spanish, conversar which
literally means to talk in verse.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">The Spaniards in the 20<sup>th</sup> century had the
tertulia. A group of men (that may have changed now) would sit at a café and
drink coffee or wine and discuss politics and football. One famous gathering
discussed for hours if Magellan had indeed been the first to circumnavigate the
world as he had been killed in Mactán in the Philippines and his second in
command, Juan Sebastian Elcano had finished the journey.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">While handwriting in cursive may be a talent of our past
I am seeing now that the same might happen to conversation. It has been
supplanted by texting on a phone, and no matter how small your fingers, typos are
a legion.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">I wonder if I am in a minority? I want to talk to a
sentient being.</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing">Perhaps I should take my abuelita's advice,"<i>A boca abierta entra la mosca.</i>" or a fly enters an open mouth. <br /></p>

that accompanied Robert Louis Stevenson’s trip through Europe) was held at a
small concert hall much the size (I believe) of one owned by Duke Eszterházy <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>in the 17<sup>th</sup> century. Being on the first

<p class="MsoNormal">Some time ago I called up CBC Radio arts reporter Paul
Grant and asked him, “<i>How would you like to interview a grown man baritone who
sings in falsetto?” </i>I took a just arrived to Vancouver countertenor Matthew
White to the CBC. Grant apologized that he was going to do the interview on a
bench outside as he could not get a sound room. He ran the Wednesday interview
the next day and on Friday the Pacific Baroque Orchestra concert <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>featuring White sold out. Grant retired and moved to Moose Jaw. His position was never

<p class="MsoNormal">It is a shame that in Vancouver, with a moribund media, there is
now no way that the arts, be they painting (photography?), theatre, dance or
music can be publicized. I believe that publicists are obsolete.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My friend, graphic designer Graham Walker and I went to a concert last
night at an intimate venue, Hodson Manor on 7<sup>th</sup> Avenue featuring the
La Modestine Trio with Marc Destrubé on violin,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Natalie Mackie on viola da gamba and Marco Vitale on harpsichord.</p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_eVqJZgu10iKARoyEW-OBnF2a6YqP6nNpz7PrSniqSdGfjmWYaU2c_ElRcq6IgKAC2OzIkwp6Q1deb_IfwYFfokNjtfnyp6S_VcWMR3lAOMqkRPq5Y78oITHPNYUFwiGPBsfKkhJAsnOcN2eA4mtqD8R97ZPoCYtin5LlYbbgYQ7hzNluD2f2/s2358/Microcosmos%2004.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1575" data-original-width="2358" height="261" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_eVqJZgu10iKARoyEW-OBnF2a6YqP6nNpz7PrSniqSdGfjmWYaU2c_ElRcq6IgKAC2OzIkwp6Q1deb_IfwYFfokNjtfnyp6S_VcWMR3lAOMqkRPq5Y78oITHPNYUFwiGPBsfKkhJAsnOcN2eA4mtqD8R97ZPoCYtin5LlYbbgYQ7hzNluD2f2/w390-h261/Microcosmos%2004.jpg" width="390" /></a></div><br /> <p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The room, not very big, was sold out. Why? Marc Destrubé is
smart so he has carefully worked on an email list so he sends announcements of
concerts featuring his La Modestine and another group of his called The
Microcosmos Quartet.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://www.lamodestine.ca/">La Modestine </a></p><p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://www.microcosmosquartet.com/">Microcosmos Quartet</a> They play Benjamin Britten, Bartók and new music.<br /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Now few, if any concerts, get either previews or reviews now.
In the case of last night’s concert there will be this blog. I caution
anybody who has gotten this far that I am an amateur. Yes, I met Marc Destrubé in
1992 and I have attended many of his concerts. But I am an amateur. Still I
feel that this blog has some sort of saving grace in that I include photographs
I took last night.</p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqwT0MqQeAp8dIvB0AJHVDP-WqWG0qsxlRV44c6p-h8Bugh_Ad2yOCBhzhbSkRvKKtsWwdWJcRqS6gO6Qcc4XPnpydYG-pGXxX9fOc0giRFt6pjxQUGSKRpS0UulASdKSOAQPwhlK2gd1-3PexZjbkLQNG20mQTSPhbbzsQfV9W-FO3EjDofGW/s2358/Microcosmos%2005.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1575" data-original-width="2358" height="315" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqwT0MqQeAp8dIvB0AJHVDP-WqWG0qsxlRV44c6p-h8Bugh_Ad2yOCBhzhbSkRvKKtsWwdWJcRqS6gO6Qcc4XPnpydYG-pGXxX9fOc0giRFt6pjxQUGSKRpS0UulASdKSOAQPwhlK2gd1-3PexZjbkLQNG20mQTSPhbbzsQfV9W-FO3EjDofGW/w471-h315/Microcosmos%2005.jpg" width="471" /></a></div><br /> <p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My camera is a Fuji X-E3 that has a noiseless electronic
shutter. I turn off the light of the back LCD screen and the smallish zoom lens
makes the camera almost look invisible.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I believe, the amateur that I am, that when I listen to
music<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>by composers, whose names I have
never heard before, (in last night's rosters they sound like mafiosos) this is akin to going to a concert of new music. New music
need not be music of the 21<sup>st</sup> century.</p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNrk6gUc4ihMQDIh58qFeUE-Ia6OQtzgz3K_Kq5DqrudKeMDD5CzC9Uf97cWBJ4_Q6MPu6ttZ7cFUPIRFtnMaFxblleCatM5uQWwLzxhROnzmHAYnjvqtswUmOjHwCJ8DX5kDvZ8LjuG6Mzfckv7XAw4XTwzFLXDsb_YtrM-B8kfFbb3lkbYRo/s2553/Microcosmos%2006.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1575" data-original-width="2553" height="275" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNrk6gUc4ihMQDIh58qFeUE-Ia6OQtzgz3K_Kq5DqrudKeMDD5CzC9Uf97cWBJ4_Q6MPu6ttZ7cFUPIRFtnMaFxblleCatM5uQWwLzxhROnzmHAYnjvqtswUmOjHwCJ8DX5kDvZ8LjuG6Mzfckv7XAw4XTwzFLXDsb_YtrM-B8kfFbb3lkbYRo/w447-h275/Microcosmos%2006.jpg" width="447" /></a></div><br /> <p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The music we heard last night, baroque music of all Italian
composers of the 17<sup>th</sup> century, was partially what is called <i>Sytlus
Fantasticus </i>and one of its pioneers, Girolamo Frescobaldi (an organist in the
Vatican) was featured in the concert.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Viola da gambist (not violist da gamba perhaps?) Natalie
Mackie gave us an interesting talk on how the composers of the 17<sup>th</sup> century
experimented with swooping changes of time in composing very fast and very
slow. She pointed out that Alessandro Stradella (1643-1682) was an example of
that method. I looked him up, and found out that he was murdered in Genoa by
three brothers called<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Lomellini, whose
sister he had seduced.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I took slow shutter photographs that I hope somehow convey
the idea of stylus fantasticus.</p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGLJbXETwi-AQc4dqt2jqjI_XeWBCXXAGS8CBSSRJONQBxRXLH0NXmVhgS9CDiXmliTpRGwTuOBA8Sec4WjU-Hp8arf3MUq4UHgCAuOGvSPuF0zuSTGGBiDQ1_U6YgazzyVX7T10hPPJ8jcpLRJLqxZM0oZPCJChxnygik_4DEoEeolZU_XFMV/s2358/Microcosmos%2007.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1575" data-original-width="2358" height="299" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGLJbXETwi-AQc4dqt2jqjI_XeWBCXXAGS8CBSSRJONQBxRXLH0NXmVhgS9CDiXmliTpRGwTuOBA8Sec4WjU-Hp8arf3MUq4UHgCAuOGvSPuF0zuSTGGBiDQ1_U6YgazzyVX7T10hPPJ8jcpLRJLqxZM0oZPCJChxnygik_4DEoEeolZU_XFMV/w446-h299/Microcosmos%2007.jpg" width="446" /></a></div><br /> <p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I cannot stop here without mentioning that Palermo- born harpsichordist
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Marco Vitale explained how a harpsichord
works and that its plucking mechanism depends on gravity for the sound to
happen.

<p class="MsoNormal">In Girolamo Frescobaldi’s Toccata per Spinettina e Violino
F.8.49 from Cansoni Libro 1 (1968) he apologized that it would have been imposible

<p class="MsoNormal">As for my stellar moment with a harpsichord, some years ago
at a<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>rehearsal of the Pacific Baroque
Orchestra held at the St. James Community Centre on 1O Ave I asked Destrubé if
I could lie on my back under the harpsichord during the proceedings. Imagine

<p></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With my Rosemary
gone on December 8, 2020, my constant grief is ameliorated by three females and
a male. My cats Niño and Niña are two of them. The other two are my daughters
Alexandra and Hilary.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">The former, Alexandra keeps me up-to-date on my banking
as I am not swift as Rosemary was with financial matters. With an ever-smiling
Hilary we go to see fine films every week and a half. Just a few days ago she
came to my rescue.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">With Rosemary we had for 20 years a daily breakfast in
bed. I have kept the custom and while I read my <i>NYTimes</i> and <i>Vancouver Sun</i> I
have the company of my two orange and white cats. I always drink a large mug of
very strong tea. </p><p class="MsoNormal">A few days ago I dropped the tray and broke the cat mug I drink
my tea from. It is the third made-in-England mug I break. It had the image that
was an almost exact likeness to Rosemary’s beloved cat Casi-Casi who died when
we moved to our present Kits home.</p><p class="MsoNormal">The last mug I found at a store in Prince
Edward Island. I came to the conclusion that as I get older (I am 81) I need not
be attached to the many objects and stuff in my house. I told myself to buy a
large clear glass beer mug at my nearby Dollar Store and not worry ever again
or experience the grief of the loss of a valued object.</p><p class="MsoNormal">I told Hilary.</p><p class="MsoNormal">She
ordered a new mug from the store in Prince Edward Island and told me that I
should keep it downstairs and use it only at the table with guests. For my
daily breakfast she suggested I buy that clear glass beer mug. And this I did.
Bless my daughters (and my cats, too).</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">In our Kerrisdale garden we had plants that simply could not
move to our smaller garden. But there was on plant that Rosemary adored that
she simply called the Corsican Hellebore (<i>Helleborus argutifolius</i>). Rosemary
did not like bright coloured flowers. She appreciated the light,
yellow/green/white sober tones of this hellebore. When that plant came to my
memory one evening in bed I knew what I had to do. I went to Phoenix Perennials in Richmond. They stock the
best variety of hellebores in the Lower Mainland. When I arrived, I asked to
pleasant women who were surrounded by hundreds of hellebores, if they had any
Corsicans. They pointed at some. I then noticed some more elaborate versions
which happened to be of sport of a different species called <i>Helleborus x
nigercors</i><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><i> </i> </span>‘Honeyhill Joy’. I bought it, too.<br /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I like going to Phoenix Perennials, owner Gary Lewis is friendly and (important) has lots of botanical knowledge. They have lots of new
hosta cultivars (perhaps in a month ) and small, not aggressive clematis.
Rosemary and I discovered that for our many roses in large pots on our deck,
these smaller clematis worked nicely with roses and did not compete for
nutrients.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As for these hellebores in their pots I look at them and it
is no different from looking at my smiling Rosemary.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">I will plant them, and in my head, St. Luke’s
citation from the gospel, “<i>Do this in remembrance of me," </i>will there.<br /></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing">Napoleon and<i> </i>Corsican hellebores came from the same island.<i> <br /></i></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing">Phoenix Perennials 3380 No. 6 Road, Richmond, BC 604 - 270-4133</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><a href="https://www.phoenixperennials.com/">Web Page</a><br /></p>

</p><p class="MsoNormal">In my two years of studying philosophy in Mexico City in 1962
under Ramón Xirau, it meant and means that my thoughts about death are always there
and particularly because of my many years of living in Mexico. I can quote Epicurus. <br /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Three years after the death of my wife Rosemary on December
8, 2020, I constantly remember her and note her absent presence all day, every day,
at home, in our car, in the garden, and all the places we went together in
Vancouver.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I give no importance if anybody cares about my usual
subject in my blogs about how I miss Rosemary. What is important is that my
constant thought, while a sad one, helps me figure out death and my forthcoming
one. And yet it is impossible for me to grasp how someone alive with me for 52 years is not around, not present, not alive, not there. My peripheral vision notes the empty spot on the bed where she always was.<br /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Last night the thought on the different kinds of death came to me
when my lights were out.</p>

attack in your sleep. What is death to a soldier in battle not knowing if he
will die that day? What is death to someone alive who has been given a couple
of months to live?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My Rosemary was told she was going to die. She sent a lovely
message to our eldest granddaughter telling her she had little time and wanted to
have some moments with her. She even asked her when it would be convenient for her.<br /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And lastly what is it like when you feel and understand,
while in bed, that you are going to die that day, that hour and even in those
minutes?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I had the experience of being witness to that twice. My
mother was a hypochondriac, even though she had plenty of reasons for feeling
sick. She had Meniere’s Disease.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In
our family we called her Sarah Bernhardt because of her constant telling us how
sick she was.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There she was in her bed in Mexico City in 1972 in the presence
of Rosemary. She told us “<i>This time I am going to die</i>.” Minutes later she
breathed in and died. We could not find a doctor in the neighbourhood so a veterinarian
declared her dead.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The second death I witnessed was that of Rosemary. My two
daughters and our eldest granddaughter Rebecca were there by her bed. She
asked, “<i>Am I dying?</i>” I could not answer and minutes later she was dead.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Can we ever know what it feels when you are about to die and
you ask people around you if you are in fact dying?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In the middle of the night last night I Messengered my two daughters
as to who closed Rosemary's eyes. My eldest daughter asked why I was asking. I told her I was going to write a blog about Hollywood beside death scenes. The nurse
who was supposed to treat Rosemary arrived after Rosemary had died. According
to my eldest daughter it was she who closed her eyes.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">All the above is a reality that is as far removed from all
those Hollywood films deathbed scenes.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And so I think about death every day. As my lymphoma-sick
male cat Niño sticks to me like glue I wonder if he does not need to ask me if
he is dying. He knows.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">He and his sister Niña as they lie on me during the day
and at night on the bed are direct live routes to my Rosemary. In the first few
months after Rosemary died I would loudly say, “<i>Rosemary.”</i><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They would look up at me. Now, it would seem
they have forgotten her. They are lucky. Am I?</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I felt my life with both my hands – Emily Dickinson</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I felt my life with both my hands</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">To see if it was there –</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I held my spirit to the Glass,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">To prove it possibler –</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I turned my Being round and round</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And paused at every pound</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">To ask the Owner’s name –</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For doubt, that I should know the sound –</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I judged my features – jarred my hair –</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I pushed my dimples by, and waited –</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If they – twinkled back –</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Conviction might, of me –</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I told myself, “Take Courage, Friend –</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">That – was a former time –</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">But we might learn to like the Heaven,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As well as our Old Home”!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I will not argue who might be the best Canadian photographer
still alive, but I can assert I am the best in the country with hands. It was my
Rosemary who in the late 70s pointed out a little finger that was sticking out
in portrait that I was going to take to the <i>Vancouver Magazine, </i>for art director
Rick Staehling.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I pooh-poohed her
opinion. Shockingly, Staehling noticed, so from that point on I always made sure I noticed hands and fingers in my portraits. It helped that I shot many ballet and modern
dancers.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In my memory, I know a man who had and probably has the best
hands I ever saw in a man. His name is Jim Cummins and he is still known as I,
Braineater from his 70s and 80s punk days.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I came up with the idea of taking his portrait at his studio
that happened to have a white wall (or was it a black one?). I made an 11x14 inch print and then asked
Cummins to do his then trademark art work on it. The photograph ran in
<i>Vancouver Magazine.</i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When Staehling returned the print, I had it framed. It is up
in my guest room. My only concern is that the photographic paper, <i>Ilford
Ilfospeed</i> is not archival. I may in a near future have it scanned and printed
in archival inkjet paper.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">One of the pleasures of writing my blogs,6031 including
this one, is finding poems that go with my photographs. I have used at least 100
poems by Emily Dickinson. This one is one more. But in a past blog I used
another Dickinson poem on a hand. </p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><a href="https://blog.alexwaterhousehayward.com/2017/03/i-took-my-power-in-my-hand.html">I TOOK power in my hand </a></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"> </p><p class="MsoNoSpacing">More Emily Dickinson</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><a href="https://blog.alexwaterhousehayward.com/2024/01/peter-breck-that-clarifies-sight-emily.html">That clarifies the sight </a></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"> <a href="https://blog.alexwaterhousehayward.com/2023/08/nature-rarer-uses-yellow-emily-dickinson.html">Nature rarer uses yellow</a><br /></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><a href="https://blog.alexwaterhousehayward.com/2023/06/rosemary-white-and-bit-of-yellow.html">Rosemary white and a bit of yellow </a></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><a href="https://blog.alexwaterhousehayward.com/2022/05/nature-rares-uses-yellow-emily-dickinson.html">Nature rarer uses yellow </a></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><a href="https://blog.alexwaterhousehayward.com/2023/05/luck-is-not-chance-emily-dickinson.html">Luck is not chance </a></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><a href="https://blog.alexwaterhousehayward.com/2023/05/t-is-iris-sir.html">T is iris sir </a></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><i><a href="https://blog.alexwaterhousehayward.com/2022/08/and-that-white-sustenance.html">The white heat</a><br /></i></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><i><a href="https://blog.alexwaterhousehayward.com/2022/08/the-gentian-it-tried-to-be-rose-emily.html">I tried to be a rose </a></i></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><i><a href="https://blog.alexwaterhousehayward.com/2022/05/nature-rares-uses-yellow-emily-dickinson.html">nature rarer uses yellow </a></i></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><i><a href="https://blog.alexwaterhousehayward.com/2022/05/my-neighbours-turkish-turban.html">The Tulip</a></i></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><a href="https://blog.alexwaterhousehayward.com/2022/03/nor-would-i-be-poet-emily-dickinson.html">Nor would I be a poet </a></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://blog.alexwaterhousehayward.com/2019/11/november-left-then-clambered-up.html">November left then clambered up</a><br />

</p><p class="MsoNormal"> For an explanation on the why of the two pictures above scroll to the end.<br /></p><p class="MsoNormal">Today I gave a Powerpoint presentation – <i>Photography Inspired
in Art</i> at the C41Café. The café is not big so the 28 people that
showed up was a crowd. But I have an idea that Saturday is not a good day for
this sort of thing.I called many people to invite them:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">1. I am going to the Wine Festival, sorry.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">2. I have a bad cold and so does…</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">3. I have a bad cold and so does…</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">4. Sorry I have covid</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">5. I had a leg operation, sorry.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">6. I am going to the Vancouver Symphony.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">7. Andy asked if Joaquin Pedrero was coming. <i>“No, he is in
Mexico.”</i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">8.<i> “Is Charlie Smith who wrote the lovely piece about you on
Pancouver coming?” “No, he is in London.”</i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">9. And so on.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I almost took this personally. On the positive side, the
projection worked flawlessly and Andy Wang is an expert at setting up. The
people were interested and a few questions were asked. Andy asked three
questions. He knows how to work a room.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For this experiment to work we will change the day and even
the hour of the next one. Because the Café needs to make money some sort of
payment at the door will have to happen. I know at least four photographers who
could give lectures. Could they be called <i>Photography & Coffee</i>?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Now I will diverge to point out that Diane Arbus had a show.
On the next day of her show the world was still the same. She popped some
barbiturates, got into a warm bath and slit her wrists.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">While I am not suicidal, I discovered not “<i>Post Opening Blues</i>”
but something I call “<i>After the Hanging </i></p><p class="MsoNormal"><i>Blues</i>”. It seems to me that it is never
better than the moment before you put that last framed photograph on the wall.
I have had many of these. It is downhill after that. And especially as a couple
of days after the opening I might run into a person who I invited and did not
show up. The person will ask, “<i>How was the opening?</i>” I think but don’t say ----you!
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I spent to weeks (they were awfully pleasant) working on my
flash drive PowerPoint. But after tonight, with nothing happening tomorrow,
Sunday, I feel empty.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The reason is that I must be a melancholic Argentine. </p>

now not feel so empty. She would have pointed out all my mistakes and offered

Some years ago, when I was teaching at Focalpoint on 10th Avenue, the bookstore next door, Book Warehouse, was closing. Most of the books had been sold but there was an Edward Hopper booklet of his sketches. I bought it. Inside I found Hopper's self-portrait. It was then that I understood that my artist friend Neil Wedman had been hiding from me for many years that indeed he looks like Edward Hopper.</span>

<p></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing">Today has been an up and down day that sort of finished
as an up one. It was not until early morning that I found out where my very
large files of Arthur Erickson had wound up. They had been stored at Leap
Creative (they celebrated yesterday!) and both they and I had forgotten them. I
don’t know how I could have handled the loss as I am the photographer that
photographed Erickson more than anyone. We were friends.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I cannot possibly forget how a few months before he died he
was sitting alone at a table in a function run by Diane Farris. Nobody wanted
to sit with him because he had Alzheimer’s. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I went to his table and when I sat down I
said, <i>“Arthur I believe that you may have been influenced by Mexican/Spanish</i> <i>architect
Felix Candela</i>. He smiled.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://blog.alexwaterhousehayward.com/2007/10/hypars-leibniz-newton-flix-candela.html">An example of a Candela hyperbolic paraboloid. blog</a><br /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We then had an intelligent conversation for about 50 minutes
on the hyperbolic paraboloid. Think of the old TWA bulding in the John F.
Kennedy International Airport in NY></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A hyperbolic paraboloid is a three dimensional; double ruled
surface that is generated by two sets of parallel lines that are in turn not
parallel to each other. All cross sections of this paraboloid along the axis of
symmetry yield parabolas. Study.com</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I will treasure our conversation until I meet my soon to
happen oblivion.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Tomorrow I am giving a lecture at the C41 Café 2948 West 4<sup>th</sup>
Ave from 6 to 8 on the theme Photography Inspired in Art.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am not int the least nervous so until the
lecture I really have nothing to do tomorrow.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As I lay in bed tonight with Niño (my male cat) on top of me
I felt guilty about not writing my blog. I was also hungry.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Many who may have read my blogs in the past might know that
with Rosemary now gone everything I do every day is in her memory. I like to
sort of quote St. Luke where Christ is parting bread at the last supper and
says to his apostles, “Do this in remembrance of me.”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Rosemary had curious eating habits. She had a fondness for
eating tomato sandwiches in the evening. So I made myself one and as I ate it I
remembered the love of my life.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">She will be proud in my mind tomorrow when I give my lecture

<p></p><p class="MsoNormal">As an 81-year-old former photographer I tell people that I am
obsolete, redundant, retired and inconsequential. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">C41 Café (2948 West 4<sup>th</sup> Avenue) owner Andy Wang
has made me feel useful. I will be giving a PowerPoint lecture this Saturday,
march 2 from 6 to 8. What is C41? (explanation below)</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For a long time I thought I was going to die with what I
think is useful information in my head. Thanks to Wang’s enthusiasm for
photography I will be able to unload (impart?) some of it.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My grandmother, my mother and I were teachers. I did not
become a full-fledged photographer until 1977 when I got an assignment from
Malcolm Parry’s <i>Vancouver Magazine.</i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am, then, a teacher who became a photographer. As a
teacher it is my obligation to inspire and not to disapprove if someone does
not know that C41 is the Kodak chemical system used to this day, around the
world to process colour negative film.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The problem with many photographers, in this century, is that
they do not have the direction, nagging of art directors and designers that I had. These new photographers must
find their own way. On Saturday I hope I can help them find a direction to
better photographs.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The write-up that <i>Pancouver</i> Editor Charlie Smith did on me
is lovely. I worked with him when he was a writer at Harvey Southam’s Equity
Magazine (it was a business magazine). It was then that I noted Smith’s
astounding memory for facts, tiny facts that escaped most people. He became the
Editor of the Georgia Straight when it was still a journalistic force in
Vancouver. Smith’s ability to draw out information from, to us, unknown sources
makes him, in my opinion, the best investigative reporter of this city.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://pancouver.ca/legendary-photographer-alex-waterhouse-hayward-reveals-how-art-can-inspire-anyone-with-a-camera/?fbclid=IwAR23synEaiFNqFa6H3i_Ahd7qjSK6A0pWVMPauUpezDqKruzoAMGgOP8HWY">Charlie Smith - Pancouver </a><br /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It will be interesting to find out how many people will show
up at this Saturday’s lecture at the C41. Besides my PowerPoint I will have a
show and tell.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><i>New York Times</i> (now gone) columnist <i>On Language</i> for the
New York Times, William Safire said that any person giving a PowerPoint and
reading what is in it, would be defined as “<i>Death by Powerpoin</i>t.” You will all

</p><p class="MsoNormal"> When I was 8 in Buenos Aires I became obsessed with anything
that had to do with Leonardo da Vinci. I was particularly attracted to a red self-portrait
which I copied many times with red pencils.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I had no idea what an artist was. I was interested in da
Vinci’s experiments like his parachute.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When we arrived in Vancouver in 1975 I could not get a job
anywhere as a photographer. I remember going to London Drugs and talking to
someone behind the photo desk. The man behind the counter asked me what I did.
I answered, “<i>I am a portraitist.”</i> Aghast, he countered, “<i>I got a master in arts
at Queen’s and I don’t call myself that!”</i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">By the time I became a successful magazine photographer in
the 80s I always answered the questions on my profession, <i>“I am a photographer.”</i>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I quickly discovered that photographers who said they were
artists quickly became bitter at not being recognized as artists. In the many
times that I went to the Presentation House Gallery, Diane Evans and Miss Love
would introduce me to people there as the magazine photographer. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">One day I asked a curator if she would pose for
me. Her answer was, “<i>I posed for Manuel Álvarez Bravo. Why would I pose for you?"</i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">By the end of the 90s I was participating in group
photographic exhibitions and in a couple of solo ones. I never sold anything
and my Rosemary told me I was spending a lot of money on matting and framing.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And so it went until I met Argentine painter Juan Manuel
Sánchez who at the end of the 90s was living in Vancouver. He gave me an art
education as I had never known that El Greco was a Mannerist. I had no idea
what Mannerists were.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Sánchez was the first person to tell me, “<i>Alex sos un
artista.</i>” I don’t worry to much about this definition. I keep taking my
photographs, portraits and scanning the plants in my garden. With my Kerrisdale
darkroom gone 6 years ago when we moved to Kits I have been perfecting (I am
really good at it) printing my photographs as inkjets in good archival paper.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Of late I have taken to task a friend (he is an artist) who
in his conversations with me often says, “<i>Artists and photographers…</i>” It seems
that we photographers are in another category. My friend counters with, “<i>Must I
say engravers, painters, sculptors, etc?”</i></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">More than anything I just like to pull his leg. I don’t
have delusions of grandeur about being an artist although I suspect I will be
rich and famous when I am dead. </p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><i>For example, a car's motion is measured relative to its
starting point or the road it is moving over, a projectile's motion is measured
relative to the surface it was launched from, and a planet's orbit is measured
relative to the star it is orbiting around.</i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">I remember as a young boy in Buenos Aires being in a train
while another train, on the other track, was going in the same direction. If it
had not been for the vibration I would have affirmed that both trains were stationary.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It was Einstein who said that reference points were
important in order to determine motion.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As a budding magazine photographer in Vancouver around 1977,
I had little idea of what a good photograph was. The first art director I
worked with at <i>Vancouver Magazine,</i> Rick Staehling, bought many American
magazines like <i>Esquire </i>&<i> Sports Illustrated.</i> He would show me photographs
in them and would then assign me to take pictures inspired from what I had
seen. His inspiration and his treatment of my photograph can be seen in this blog.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://blog.alexwaterhousehayward.com/2008/03/bill-evans-makes-it-to-festival.html">Stanley Park - Rick Staehling</a><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgx9DVqMqclETreJHdXUA-JQdhc1WZBKCZMnEEETRMZihyphenhyphenv4D768Mzbvh8aml-OZqLcy8PUZdUFK5Bng6Z1W9KtUoOS9Gnl8FhZD-hXzr6RpFQJxknENlxQf-ujQqexFaipfN2G4hKNBi0mSbvRMbcHJBvmCzRlmsqWMR4rKxucS0Usd2JEeS-K/s2358/K%20blog%2002.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2358" data-original-width="1575" height="423" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgx9DVqMqclETreJHdXUA-JQdhc1WZBKCZMnEEETRMZihyphenhyphenv4D768Mzbvh8aml-OZqLcy8PUZdUFK5Bng6Z1W9KtUoOS9Gnl8FhZD-hXzr6RpFQJxknENlxQf-ujQqexFaipfN2G4hKNBi0mSbvRMbcHJBvmCzRlmsqWMR4rKxucS0Usd2JEeS-K/w283-h423/K%20blog%2002.jpg" width="283" /></a></div><br /> <p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">I believe that in this century and it today’s date of February
25, 2024, that I know a good photograph when I see one. In Vancouver,now, that is
almost an impossible as I have lost my reference points. Journalism with
magazines and newspapers is just about dead.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">One of my steady references is the <i>NYTimes.</i> I have had a daily
delivered paper subscription now for 25 years. That helps. But few of my peers
are “still” (I hate that word) taking pictures. The days of looking at a
<i>Saturday Night Magazine </i>(I worked for 3 of its incarnations) and being wowed by
a photograph are gone.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://blog.alexwaterhousehayward.com/2006/09/perfect-day-with-wp-kinsella_16.html">Saturday Night </a></p><p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://blog.alexwaterhousehayward.com/2007/02/gillian-guess-secret-weapon-maureen_13.html">Saturday Night & Gillian Guess </a><br /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And so I must trust my own knowledge of what makes a good
photograph a good one. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Today I photographed a former student from 16 years ago
called K. She contacted me through Messenger (I had not seen or heard from her
since I taught her portrait photography) and said she wanted to meet and
perhaps take some pictures. This I did today.</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuhXlNsHKnnUn3ULvfKGUswa2pyGBcITqqIuqyvaiC06ot5BENbOIEVR1Tkh1keryg4UWE7zs4EB2tp-yoZTt8ZPRooo5Jhbc1xRd65621aLc3nmHTDXivo16Squfd_2qWOiTrZI4r79DDOmSkkfxMzu4SFC0qIBmtOtl-rP4_Guklj5oWVNim/s2149/K%20blog%2003.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2149" data-original-width="1575" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuhXlNsHKnnUn3ULvfKGUswa2pyGBcITqqIuqyvaiC06ot5BENbOIEVR1Tkh1keryg4UWE7zs4EB2tp-yoZTt8ZPRooo5Jhbc1xRd65621aLc3nmHTDXivo16Squfd_2qWOiTrZI4r79DDOmSkkfxMzu4SFC0qIBmtOtl-rP4_Guklj5oWVNim/s320/K%20blog%2003.jpg" width="235" /></a></div><br /> <p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">One of the techniques I used, besides taking 120
Rollei Infrared film with my Mamiya (Will take the one roll to the Lab tomorrow), is
the ½ second slow shutter, at 800 ISO, with modeling light but no flash from a
small softbox. I further make the shot more complicated by focusing that Fuji
X-E3 on a large mirror at the end of my small Kits studio.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This is the second time I have used this method and it
almost seems too easy. Important to this process is the work I do in levels on
LAB with my 19 year-old Photoshop 8.</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjm5MLJbAqX7KHloBAlH11oHg7ChDEsdbJReA61rzqpWWxvMrNTHIIx5SLIYRqWSEvsUsT58U6CxQnLu1pvnwdtkxeKH7oP6URSFwicGCRHU3PgynoC0eiPMBKE5pnWKt5TkcPN3z6GrL5sidy7U6jrqqxBUHT9kk-t90ndgl1NP6r1RjJYP6_o/s2468/K%20blog%2004.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2468" data-original-width="1575" height="454" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjm5MLJbAqX7KHloBAlH11oHg7ChDEsdbJReA61rzqpWWxvMrNTHIIx5SLIYRqWSEvsUsT58U6CxQnLu1pvnwdtkxeKH7oP6URSFwicGCRHU3PgynoC0eiPMBKE5pnWKt5TkcPN3z6GrL5sidy7U6jrqqxBUHT9kk-t90ndgl1NP6r1RjJYP6_o/w290-h454/K%20blog%2004.jpg" width="290" /></a></div><br /> <p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I particularly like using the mirror as it includes me. I
thank K and hope that she will be persuaded to pose again. I find her most
interesting as she is 56 years old. As the old man that I am, I can no longer tolerate
the perfection of youth.<br /></p>

</p><p></p><p class="MsoNormal">There is a strong possibility that this blog will be a
surprisingly positive and pleasant blog about my Rosemary and it will bypass
any melancholic moments I might have had today that were exacerbated by today’s
grim weather.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am firmly a person who is a product of the last century. I rarely find anything in this one that can compare in positive quality.
But I did today.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I will begin by citing the origin of the word <i>intimidad</i>
(intimacy in Spanish) which is from the Latin <i>intimus</i> which means something
that is at the bottom of something, situated in its most inside. Dictionary of
the Real Academia Española.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Rosemary and I were married for 52 years, and before that, we
knew each other for two months. In those 52 years we constantly surprised
each other by stuff that we did not know about each other. It took Rosemary 51
years to tell me she did not like my “famous”
cucumber sandwiches. It wasn’t until we spent a whole day at the Metropolitan
Museum in NY that I finally knew that she had a tremendous interest in art.
Because Rosemary was internal in her thoughts, it took me by surprise.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Now let’s go to that 21<sup>st</sup> century wonder that
I discovered today. In my Messenger lists I found 1. Rosemary, 2. Rosemary and
Ale, 3. Rosemary and Ale, 4. Rosemary and Rebecca,5. Rosemary and Hilary.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Her conversations are much too intimate for me to place here
but the photographs! Many times when we travelled she would hand me her
phone and ask me to take her picture. Or there are pictures taken by Alexandra
of Rosemary when she visited her in Lillooet. There a few selfies and many
pictures that Rosemary downloaded from my blog.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In short many of the photographs I have never seen but important,
too is her choice of my photographs from my blogs that she sent to our
daughters and granddaughters. They represent a facet of Rosemary I had no idea
about. The act of choosing a photograph is in itself an intimate choice.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thinking about all this today with my two cats on top of me
on the bed I had the idea that in some way looking at these photographs is
similar<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>to riffling the drawers of a
wife’s underwear.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Rosemary kept notes and a diary when she was in Mexico.
Important is the loss to me that she never did write about how we met. I will
never be able to ask her, “How did I pick you up that day I saw you leave that
school we both worked for? I saw you from the back and I was dazzled by your
lovely legs and your miniskirt. What did I say to you?”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I will never know.</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

</p><p class="MsoNormal">Today was a fairly sunny day so Niño and I went for a walk
around the block. Even with the weather being pleasant both my cats do not want
to stay outside and they opt for getting on top of me when I am on the bed
drinking a mug of tea and knowing I have to do nothing. And philosophically
that is unsettling.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I had noticed that <i>Helleborus </i>‘Wedding Crasher’ was in
bloom. Rosemary adored her hellebores because they bloomed early in our garden.
What this also means is that I can no longer postpone the cleaning up of the
garden. This was fun activity when Rosemary and I shared it. Now I avoid it but
I must begin to at least partially prune some of my roses before I do that in
March. I will be slightly cheered up as when I prune them the Nick Lowe song
Cruel to be Kind meanders in the soundscape of my brain. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I wonder if any of my over 3000 plant scans (I started in
2001) will ever make it as part of my legacy that anybody might appreciate.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Originally my scans had the purpose of documenting with
accuracy a plant on a given day scanned at 100% size and being watchful that
the colour was accurate. When people visit me and they point how they like one
of these images (big on the wall) they rapidly lose interest when I tell them
that it is not a photograph but a scanograph and that I am a scanographer.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What keeps me sane and mostly cheerful is that I keep in my
head what Garry Winogrand once said, “I photograph things to see what those
things look like photographed.”</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">My scans of my plants brings me close to them with an
intimacy that makes me feel that Rosemary is near. She was the person who
noticed the details of plants as she comfortably sat on the garden lawn or our
Kits deck without and visible discomfort. She was most flexible.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And so this scan of the hellebore I dedicate to my Rosemary
and I promise her that I will start the cleanup perhaps even tomorrow if the
nice weather persists. </p><p class="MsoNormal">The Corsican Hellebore was Rosemary's fave. I no longer have one. I will try to find one this Saturday at Phoenix Perennials in Richmond.</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsHvstUCmxXkAJ3-60FvLgT-5-l6bv_JgrFajxQnj1SYOwQ4VaU5f6vkD6v3qXVX1dau3myNU-ahYwluzzzONAA9oFlWLkyPky_7my7n1nTZNTpbp0zy4blnBRow1FbLqW5nekaPvMu3yW0XxSFTOohZwhvrgRYvW6Wq-icvN7Ci3D43YiWrnB/s629/Helleborus%20blog-748701.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="629" data-original-width="500" height="387" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsHvstUCmxXkAJ3-60FvLgT-5-l6bv_JgrFajxQnj1SYOwQ4VaU5f6vkD6v3qXVX1dau3myNU-ahYwluzzzONAA9oFlWLkyPky_7my7n1nTZNTpbp0zy4blnBRow1FbLqW5nekaPvMu3yW0XxSFTOohZwhvrgRYvW6Wq-icvN7Ci3D43YiWrnB/w307-h387/Helleborus%20blog-748701.jpg" width="307" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Corsican Hellebore - 2007<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><br /> <br /></p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">On
Monday Hilary and I went to the Fifth Avenue Cinema to see <i>The Taste of Things</i> directed
by Tran Anh Hung and with Juliette Binoche and with her former paramour Benoit
Magimel. The icing on this delicious cake of a film is young actress Bonnie
Chagneau-Ravoire. In the film she is given a spoon to taste and she is able to identify all the ingredients and spices with an incredibly lovely but serious face.<br /></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The first
30 minutes puts you into a kitchen where you rarely see faces but hands and
lots of cooking. I suspect that vegans could not possibly watch this film as
there is a lot of disembowelling of animals. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Because I
worked for many years as stills man at the CBC I know excellent camera work
when I see it. This film is stellar. In the closing scenes the camera rotates
360 degrees 3 times without wavering up or down and surprising images show up
that I will not reveal here.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">My daughter
Hilary inherited from my Rosemary,and perhaps even from me, her father, a good
quantity of snobbishness. I enjoy <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>almost
weekly our companionship where we see good films in real film theatres.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">After our
film we like to go to a pizza joint on the corner of Howe and Davie where the
staff is Filipino and Latin American. This combination of a fine film and pizza
has become a comfortable tradition. I drive Hilary to her home in Burnaby and I
drive back knowing my Niño and Niña will be waiting for me.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Firecrust Neapolitan Pizzeria - 808 Davie corner with Howe.<br /></span></p>

</p><p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Mezzo-soprano Jean Stilwell has been in my thoughts for
days.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It all began when I remember my session with her in my
Granville and Robson studio. Because I could not remember her name I could not
find he in my alphabetical order files. This happens with age and I am 81.
Googling did not help. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">But there was this that happened and I did remember. At the
time Stilwell came to my studio she was 49. After I took her photographs she
asked me to photograph her bare chest. I was shocked and asked her why. She
told me that she had a good friend in Vancouver, an actress called Babz Chula
who had breast cancer. She wanted to have the picture taken in solidarity. So I
took the picture but began with a Polaroid. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Then I made a rude mistake (now with age I would know
better). I told her that I had problems shooting her chest as her breasts were
droopy. She did not quite get angry but put me in my place in that her breasts
were what all breast do at her age.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I then told her (sort of making up for my rudeness) that I
would take the Polaroid and find a nice Seagull pewter frame (then made in
Pugwash, Nova Scotia). There was a Seagull store on Robson. That evening
Stilwell smiled when I presented her with the framed Polaroid.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I put Babz Chula into my internal Blogger search engine and
found the two blogs I wrote about Stilwell and how that date of March 20-27

<p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Before my Rosemary died on December 8, 2020 we went to theatre,
dance and all kinds of concerts. Since then I have refrained from going
anywhere or even turning on the TV. I stay on my bed with my two cats and read;
write my daily blog and, now that spring is around the corner, I will clean up my
Kits deck garden with its 45 old roses.</p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1usOfZg-SbVow0dWQRdplgYls32H6tu6RwQl8l4h4gSe-FVMkywignDXEh4H8SBOWpkpRMCDGLzgCrYDA6hExAN8FKsk53qcD-PjLSPo7Rah_CSdtJ7XkOdDtdCNLDW95pewq3hcRiFrbxYepK1j0MXLKtRkC35TyqKseoOoifibxUabp9c3d/s2358/Dangerous%20Times%2001.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1575" data-original-width="2358" height="289" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1usOfZg-SbVow0dWQRdplgYls32H6tu6RwQl8l4h4gSe-FVMkywignDXEh4H8SBOWpkpRMCDGLzgCrYDA6hExAN8FKsk53qcD-PjLSPo7Rah_CSdtJ7XkOdDtdCNLDW95pewq3hcRiFrbxYepK1j0MXLKtRkC35TyqKseoOoifibxUabp9c3d/w431-h289/Dangerous%20Times%2001.jpg" width="431" /></a></div><br /> <p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">But on Saturday I didn’t have to put much effort to go to
the Yarilo concert <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Creating in dangerous
times</i> at the Orpheum Annexn on Seymour.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Rosemary did not care for dissonant new music so I usually
went alone to the Yarilo and Turning Point Ensemble concerts. But I may not be all that correct. I remember going to fabulous Turning Point Ensemble concert that featured the symphonic music of Duke Ellington and another where pianist Jane Hays performed Stravinsky's <i>Tango.</i><br /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Because I am a fan of the Turning Point Ensemble I am a fan
of the Ensemble’s pianist Jane Hayes.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And so I went. </p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYEWUWSALMreuRcinY-PXlKXQo0ZZJpJ_3cvuCdWfnc1w5kQG8p7JYGjTdlFhexc0-yentaEQfutIvA7vYt5AajKxWNWsHNDDHuyj3W7tykigQH2paLkHkjqoOij60TxJlvpODryVLSb1rY2YByJt78FKWHmFLry09ms5sDxmrR3zyu0zaTv0J/s2358/Dangerous%20Times%2002.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1575" data-original-width="2358" height="271" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYEWUWSALMreuRcinY-PXlKXQo0ZZJpJ_3cvuCdWfnc1w5kQG8p7JYGjTdlFhexc0-yentaEQfutIvA7vYt5AajKxWNWsHNDDHuyj3W7tykigQH2paLkHkjqoOij60TxJlvpODryVLSb1rY2YByJt78FKWHmFLry09ms5sDxmrR3zyu0zaTv0J/w405-h271/Dangerous%20Times%2002.jpg" width="405" /></a></div><br /> <p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The program featured composers of the 20<sup>th</sup>
century I had never heard of (all alive except for Jocelyn Morlock and Charles
Koechiné). Each composition was preceded by a poem and dance by performance
artist Celese Nazeli Snowber.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">One standout work for me was <i>Épitaphe de Jean Harlow Op. 164

<p class="MsoNormal">Another was Jocelyn Morlock’s <i>Petrichor</i> in which by the end
I could imagine little drops of rain falling on the dry pavement.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">But for me the real treat was bassist Jodi Proznick’s <i>Ancient
Yearning and Storm</i> in which she enthusiastically banged her bass and pounded the
floor with her high heel shoes.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I enjoyed the short poetry (good and brief twice as good –
Gracian) of Celeste Nazeli Snowbear as well as her dance.</p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKNCM8eArUxiF5kdHYrrz-LBhqDiJsZt1pvo1QA3gUaAHmYArgYstiUKwMS9Nfm7gAWMNIut_K5PH-eyUluNJdcg4OS7sfsRePtS8TLvLikIjwjkvlKnzc9enh0gEqZhWYpk9GSodDlD0GfqsFJTbmGGd0lVdg-ArQOimLc8IJW5xfrxBqWafp/s1887/Dangerous%20Times%2004.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1887" data-original-width="1575" height="369" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKNCM8eArUxiF5kdHYrrz-LBhqDiJsZt1pvo1QA3gUaAHmYArgYstiUKwMS9Nfm7gAWMNIut_K5PH-eyUluNJdcg4OS7sfsRePtS8TLvLikIjwjkvlKnzc9enh0gEqZhWYpk9GSodDlD0GfqsFJTbmGGd0lVdg-ArQOimLc8IJW5xfrxBqWafp/w308-h369/Dangerous%20Times%2004.jpg" width="308" /></a></div><br /> <p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Julia Nolan played two saxophones, an alto and a soprano. I
dislike the soprano because few can ever get a smooth sound. Nolan did this in
spades.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Jane Hayes managed not to demolish the piano. I was happy
with that. I enjoyed my cababayan Jimuel Dave Dagta's <i>Kensington: Diversity and Long Walks </i>(World Premiere). My guess is the he came in his Cadillakat.<br /></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhmMwuaU5IESYp2PMXSSaJN7RVvJU7JXwsxK0l6pCGuIhcUQAKVC-I7WHpYlQ6zObMb64K8vVYV9vn-HOl8iNLluvRaOy6ZUokTTEtsPABtuxSpLkpEjVNfs6rvJutuXX4X75wsloTfhmFG_5hmtbvKMyix86a8MXVTUegLqZwF45BcMzVhCms/s2219/Dangerous%20Times%2005.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1444" data-original-width="2219" height="250" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhmMwuaU5IESYp2PMXSSaJN7RVvJU7JXwsxK0l6pCGuIhcUQAKVC-I7WHpYlQ6zObMb64K8vVYV9vn-HOl8iNLluvRaOy6ZUokTTEtsPABtuxSpLkpEjVNfs6rvJutuXX4X75wsloTfhmFG_5hmtbvKMyix86a8MXVTUegLqZwF45BcMzVhCms/w385-h250/Dangerous%20Times%2005.jpg" width="385" /></a></div><br /> <p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">But I want to close here to point out that violinist Joan
Blackman (not hidden in a large orchestra but standing up front, and sometimes
hiding Hayes behind her) was the second dancer of the evening. Her movements
were sinuous and with her red hair my eyes were on her lots. </p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjfP5OHd69G6EW78uPwBwqWhHTluBFXwhga9so1b2MCerNLNBaiyjkOpKg80qjhmwX9tE2NRtste4snvm-F5xa3yUO7sDso7mm7LIMjV6kkVhpwABthEL8cIcrFyVrlcAjHXT2ioYQ7yxm3v2quPOAZKGWlLO6aS5CaUXa4lSJ6SCThD9-hTDf/s2150/Dangerous%20Times%2006.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

<p></p><p class="MsoNormal">In my two visits to Westminster Abbey it was on the second
time that I went with a mission. I was with Rosemary and our two daughters
Alexandra and Hilary. I located the tile with H.G. Wells on it and I stepped on
it and said, “<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">How are you H.G.?</i> “</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My interest in death began when I first found
out of its existence. I was 8 or 9, and our next door neighbours on Melián
Street in Buenos Aires, had a son that had crashed his motor scooter onto a
train at a level crossing. I have no idea why my mother decided I should go and
see the young man in the open casket. His face was all in bandages.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">From that point on and for many years I thought that the
only people who died or won the lottery were our neighbours.</p><p class="MsoNormal">When Eva Perón died in 1952, Argentines mourned her loss with great ceremony. Her open coffin was called a "capilla ardiente" or burning chapel. It was then I began to recognize the funereal music of Chopin. For over a year the time of her death interrupted all radio programs with, <i>"It is 20:25 the hour when the spiritual head of our nation, Eva Perón entered immortality."</i><br /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The second death in my life was when I had to deal with the
1966 funeral of my father in Buenos Aires. He had died on the street and his
friend, a police sergeant, took him to the nearby Hospital Pirovano, where my
father was declared dead. The sergeant took the liberty of emptying my father’s
pockets as he would have been robbed at the hospital. He called me that evening
to tell me that my father had been saving money so he could bribe a general to
get me out of my stint as a conscript in the Argentine Navy and I would be sent
home to my mother in Veracruz, Mexico. My father had enough money to pay for
his funeral. I was a penniless conscript. I purchased the coffin but I was not
able to secure at the Chacarita Cemetery a grave in perpetuity. It meant that
after 7 years my father’s remains would be disinterred and thrown away. I have
no memory of the funeral.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My second death was that of my grandmother. She died in
1970. Rosemary got to meet her. A friend, Raúl Guerrero told me when I
mentioned that I had no memory of the funeral, that both of us carried the
coffin.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My third death was that of my mother who died in bed in
1972. Both Rosemary and I watched her breathe in and not out. The only doctor
in our neighbourhood who was able to come to pronounce her dead was a
veterinarian.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I made all the arrangements for her funeral and bought her
coffin. Rosemary and I were so poor that her parents helped us. Again I have no
memory of the funeral but I do remember that when I ordered her tombstone it
read “<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">sursum corda</i>”. My mother often
would say this to me when I was depressed. It is from the Latin Mass and it
means “lift up your heart”. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What these three deaths in my family have in common, is that they were
all buried. I could go to Mexico and I would be able to locate my
mother and my grandmother. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It is my Rosemary’s death on December 8, 2020 that changes
the equation. It has left me troubled. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I watched her die and a few minutes before she did die she
asked, “<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Am I dying</i>?” I could not
respond.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">From my hanging chair in the living room I watched her shrouded
body being removed by the funeral people. That was the last time I was aware of
her corporeal existence. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Alexandra took her ashes and spread them in her garden in
Lillooet. I understand fully her intention. Rosemary loved that garden.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">But something about my old-fashioned beliefs has me grieving
even though I know I would never go to a cemetery had she been buried in one. </p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Because Rosemary and I believed we would never see each
other again, I find myself almost in delight to be alive as she is in my
constant memory all day. An oblivion, a total one, will mean the end of all
that. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And yes, H.G. I know where you are. I also know where
Rosemary’s beloved cat Casi is. His ashes are here in my scan.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Two things came to my mind about 20 minutes before I sat
down in my oficina to write this. I was thinking on my bed with Niño and
Niña asleep on my side. One is that because I have so much spare time to think
I sometimes remember Captain Beefheart who in his <i>Ashtray Hearts</i> lyric he has
this : <i>Somebody’s had too much to think.</i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Two: Jorge Luís Borges famously wrote that in order to
remember you have to first forget.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I had just returned from my daily walk with Niño around the
block. I dress warmly but most important I wear a lovely and soft cashmere
scarf that Rosemary gave me not too long ago.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thinking about the scarf, suddenly in my memory, there was the
word <i>bufanda </i>which is Spanish for scarf. I may not have used, or thought of
that word, for many years. Yet there it was popping in my mind. How does that happen? I have no idea but the word made me
think that I would go down to my office to write.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Rosemary had a penchant for scarves. Hers and mine are
inside a metal hoop in our entrance closet. Every time I see them I grieve as I
can remember which ones she wore when and where.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In this photograph which I took a few blocks from our house
in Arboledas, Estado de México perhaps in 1973 with a young Alexandra touching
the water in the pool designed by noted Mexican architect Luís Barragán in what
was then called Los Bebederos, Rosemary is wearing a scarf. Alas I cannot
remember it except that since our youngest daughter has that dress she might
also have the scarf.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Meanwhile I will glory in accepting the I keep remembering
what I forget in Borgesian style.</p>

<p></p><p class="MsoNormal">I often quote to friends what Spanish/Mexican anthropologist
Santiago Genovés said at a lecture that Rosemary and I attended many years ago
in Mexico City.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">He said that when we read about history that we should be
aware that objectivity is a subjective invention of man.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I think that this concept plays an important role in how we
as individuals choose our music and our opinion on what makes some of it interesting
and some not.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">My thoughts on this started when I told my friend Art
Bergmann that of all the songs he ever composed my favourite is an early one
called <i>Data Redux</i>. The melody sounds like 21<sup>st</sup> century new
avant-garde music. He laughed it off yesterday when he and my friend Brian
Stevenson were having coffee at the Contintental Café on Commercial Drive.</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If there is one feature of the internet, Google in this
century, is that if you know of a piece of music it can be found almost always
on Youtube. Because of that I can place a link here to that amazing song.</p><p class="MsoNormal"> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-PJP60MZm0o">Data Redux -video </a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">After listening to <i>Data Redux</i> (unfortunately on my phone and
I somewhere I have the record with it) I thought of other music that I
subjectively like.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">First on my list is the trombone part in Ravel’s<i> Bolero</i>. In
my 10<sup>th</sup> grade at St. Edward’s High School we lived in a huge
dormitory with a Gothic ceiling. Brother Rene Lenhard, C.S.C. was our man-in
charge prefect. At night he would play classical music so that our cultural
education would continue into the night.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6uQg0j_P38"> Ravel's Bolero - Trombone part</a><br /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Because I bought records in my youth I still have
Tchaikovsky’s <i>1812 Overture</i>. To me the other side Beethoven’s <i>Wellington’s
Victory</i> is far more exciting as it has his orchestration of <i>God Save the King.</i></p><p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vx-sYGR-dA">God Save the King - Beethoven<i> <br /></i></a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Another record in my collection is Gershwin’s <i>Rhapsody in
Blue</i> played by his pal Oscar Levant. On the other side is the fabulous but
rarely played <i>Concerto in F</i>.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wePBkW6WMM8">Gershwin Concerto in F - Oscar Levant </a><br /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Just about everybody is familiar with the works of Ástor
Piazzolla. I have a preference for a most different <i>Vayamos al diablo</i> (Let’s go
to the Devil).</p><p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qo3CNMV_qn8">Vayamos al diablo </a><br /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It was through Early Music Vancouver concerts that I became
addicted to listening to chaconnes. My favourite is by a lesser known baroque composer
called Tarquinio Merula.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yMcXPcilPo">Tarquinio Merula -Ciaccona - Giardino Armonico</a></p><p class="MsoNormal">In the late 60s when Rosemary and I had been married on Feb 8 1968 we would go to the movies in Mexico City where we had two options. If we went when the film was about to begin the seats were all taken and we had to be separated. If we went 50 minutes early we were subjected to government propaganda of the president cutting ribbons for opening hospitals. More often that not the background music was Aaron Copland's <i> El Salón México</i>. It grew on me and it is one of my fave 20th century compostions. A couple of years ago I discovered on Youtube Leonard Bernstein introducing Copland on Copland's birthday and then Copland conducts (I believe in Carnegie Hall with a luxury of TV cameras) his <i>El Salón México.</i></p><p class="MsoNormal"> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qj-98yBfEI0">El Salón México</a><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal">I remember to this day when I was going around 16th Avenue and turned to Granville on my way home. I had a cassette of Pablo Casals conducting Bach's <i>Brandenburg Concertos</i>. My fave has always been the second because of the difficult trumpet part. When it began I thought there was something wrong with my car's cassette player. The piece was being played so fast as if there were no tomorrow!</p><p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQKTTfvYDCs">Bach Brandenburg No2 - Pablo Casals</a><br /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I could go on but I must stop and only cite one more and
that is my prized CD <i>Money Jungle</i> with Duke Ellington, Charlie Mingus and Max
Roach. I found out in this CD that Ellington was not only a great pianist but
that he sounded a lot like Thelonious Monk before Thelonius Monk sounded like
himself.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CuMgLM558s">Money Jungle </a><br /></p>
