Street Songs ...

“The only truth is music.”

             ~ Jack Kerouac

                 ~ 1922-1969

An accordion player shares his songs on a late November afternoon in this infrared street capture I shot in downtown historic Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.

He’s chosen a spot on Main Street between Bethlehem House Contemporary Art Gallery and the 1810 Goundie House.

Bethlehem House Contemporary Art Gallery specializes in both emerging and established regional artists.

In the heart of downtown Bethlehem is the home
of Bethlehem’s brewer, John Sebastian Goundie. This handsome Federal-style brick house has been restored and hosts changing exhibitions that reflect Bethlehem’s fascinating history.

Art In The Alley ...

“Feeling is what I like in art, not craftiness and the hiding of feelings.”

                      ~ Jack Kerouac

                         ~1922-1969

An infrared view of Bank Street, just off Northampton Street in downtown Easton, Pennsylvania as evening looms on a late November afternoon.

Bank Street is the site of “Artists in the Alley,” a tented arts and crafts event, held every Saturday from May through November from 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m.

The sign for “Just Around The Corner Fine Art & Fine Craft Gallery” can be seen at right.

While My Guitar Gently Weeps ...

“I look at you all, see the love there that’s sleeping

While my guitar gently weeps

I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping

Still my guitar gently weeps

I don’t know why nobody told you

How to unfold your love

I don’t know how someone controlled you

They bought and sold you

I look at the world I notice it’s turning

While my guitar gently weeps

With every mistake we must surely be learning

Still my guitar gently weeps…

I look at you all, see the love there that’s sleeping

While my guitar gently weeps

Look at you all

Still my guitar gently weeps.”
