Luke from Hatfield

Luke the Footballer 
Hatfield 
Hertfordshire, UK 
circa 2015











Hatfield is 35 kilometers or so north of the City of London, or about a twenty minute train ride.  There are more of these photos, close to thirty in all, probably taken over a period of a few weeks and likely for the purpose of attracting and impressing a young lady.  I make the assumption that he wanted to hook up with a girl based on the last displayed picture above, which clearly is meant to show his willingness to lick clit (and a very gentlemanly gesture it is to my way of thinking, however roughly he may be putting it.)  I certainly hope that he achieved his goals in sending these self portraits out into the world to be circulated and that they brought him no embarrassment. (I think he has nothing of which to be ashamed.) They’ve certainly brought me considerable pleasure in looking at them, which of course is an ancillary achievement on his part.















Audrey’s Dance

Twin Peaks: the return part 16 
No Knock, No Doorbell 
David Lynch & Mark Frost
Los Angeles CA 2017










Audrey’s Dance is both the name of a piece of music by Angelo Badalamenti and one of the iconic moments from the original Twin Peaks television series.  It’s also one of the highlights of the current season of Twin Peaks: the Return.  In it, one begins to get some of the much desired clarity regarding the current circumstances of this widely beloved character.  It seems, after this recapitulation, or recreation and elaboration, of the iconic dance that Audrey is at last forced to abandon the imaginary realm, in which she has so far been shown dwelling of late.  What place or state she appears to wake into is not yet so clear, though it is very brightly lit.

Apotheosis of Richard Horne

Twin Peaks: the Return part 16 
No Knock, No Doorbell 
David Lynch & Mark Frost
Snoqualmie WA 2017



As luck and Lynch would have it, the most spectacular sections of last Sunday’s part 16 of the Return were the opening and closing ones.  The images here are culled from the opening, Richard Horne’s electrocution on top of a great rock in a trap set for his father, Mr C.  In response this doppelganger of the story’s hero, Dale Cooper (who, later in part 16, finally comes fully awake from his half woken state after twenty five years confinement in the Lodge,) simply says Oh and Goodbye my son, thus confirming his long suspected full parentage.  The actor playing this youthful son, Eamon Farren, bears a striking resemblance to the young Kyle MacLachlan, which only partially explains his casting, the other explanation being his fine work previously for Lynch’s daughter, Jennifer, in her film Chained (opposite the very gifted Vincent D’Onofrio.)  I have so far seen it noted by only one other than myself that Richard disappears, as he is being electrocuted by this celestial blast, gradually from the feet to the head, much like the Woodsman in the Buckhorn SD lockup in part 2, which suggests that he may have been transformed through his electrical burning into yet another of these blackened guardians of the Black Lodge.
