Regarding Ryan





A couple years ago I started receiving postcards from the hard-working artist Ryan Wilson Paulsen - it was a mail-based project he was (Is? I still get things from time to time.) doing and I somehow got on the list. I was really depressed at the time - my Grandmother was dying at our house, so I spent Christmas break watching her go in and out of consciousness and then finally pass away. I was taking pictures on fairly desolate section of Lake Erie coast the moment she died.


When I began getting the postcards I tried to make thoughtful responses out of them but ended up generating little rectangles of bipolar communication instead; some of them are "remixes" of his cards and some of them are whatever was currently on my mind. Anyway, I just came across the "Ryan" folder and thought I'd put my side (well, some of them) of the exchange for humanity's amusement:

Oh, and this letter.

I am still using the keyboard missing the CAPSLOCK key.
