A Christmas Photo Contest

In the West, sooner or later, most musicians or musical groups will get around to making a Christmas album. Sometimes it is seen as a symbol of having arrived. Even Bob Dylan has recently come in line, though he arrived a long time ago and then departed and then arrived…. Well, it is high time that the Crim-Dassler photo contests got in on the act, though it will produce an album of a different sort.

There is $175 in prize money. Check it out!

New like a honey-
Moon birthmark, pale and mottled;
Morning harvest moon.

Winter Cornfield

Shell-shocked stalks still stand
Askew, waiting for the plow;
Soldiers at the Somme.

a fixed, fleeting glance,
polaroid of beauty, it
gives no more, no less

a fixed, fleeting glance,
polaroid of feeling, it
gives no less, nor more

Vaulting yellow, red

Vaulting yellow, red,
And green cathedral the street;
Pillars, wet, dark boles.
