Going Out of the Wedding Business
Did you notice a reference to thought forms in the email from the dedensified yesterday? Unbeknownst to me, I have been riding one with the person who writes Veiled Conceit , a snappy blog devoted entirely to the New York Times Wedding Section. It's a good thing that I've moved on to political commentary, poetry and Indigo children. I might have been devastated otherwise.
I'm planning to donate all of my entries to Veiled, as well the numerous unpublished photos that I have accumulated in my vast archives, shot with "wedding" in mind. That is, assuming that I possess the technical expertise to do anything of the kind.
Ironically, this week I heard for the first time from both a bride and a groom. Peter Stamberg and Florenz Greenberg Eisman wrote, just when I am going out of business too. (You will notice, I did not say driven out).
Perhaps Veiled has room for a stringer. Maybe the salary will be good. Maybe I'll get to cover the European scene and travel on assignment. Might as well float that thought form.
Photo note: The flower in the picture is a cosmos , blowing -- white for wedding, cosmos for thought form.
Hey D,
You're a really funny -- and insightful -- writer. And one of the best clickie-artists in the b-sphere. I love the way you do this art-form, with all the tensions between photo, text and links.
Today, we see the self-deprecating lightworker giving up on her coverage of the NYT Wedding Section because someone else is doing it supposedly better. Well, they are doing total devastation much better than you, but I would miss your more generous speculations. Meanwhile, under the surface, we have the theme announced by the white flower, always a sign that we are in the territory of nuptiality, and links back to other weddings, which have been discovered by the subjects themselves. I'm sure they would rather see themselves here, than on VC. Will she get to cover the Bavarian weddings? And then the as you would say, denounment and conjunction of the cosmos (the white flower) and the cosmos (Moon over Shiraz) in the thought-form of the sacred wedding, or Mysterium Coniunctionis as we say in the biz.
thanks for this and all the other lovely entries over the past year.

You have convinced me not to give up on the Section entirely. As always, you see much more than I in my ditherings.
Heartfelt thanks, D
