Thanks. The words created the foundation.

I can’t wait to write about how it hit me as I was curating the images.

This first and last image speaks to me the most! I think it’s the colors! Great pairing of images and words.

Viewing this collaboration on a screen feels wildly unfair. What a tremendous conversation between the two of you.

Joe - really can’t wait to read about your process!

Martin - I particularly love ‘time is no concept, seen it all before.’

It was fun one to put together.

That was an amazing morning in the Adirondacks last fall.

Hi

Given the current unstable economic situation we find ourselves in, I went on and made this piece of fiction, venting out some of my own views and some of other people's views on what economics is like. It's an outsider's perspective on humanity, which, although perhaps not a primary form of observation, can be a valid one to look at from time to time.

The short story is free and completely ad-free, so I invite you to have a look:
