“Eggs Whale.” Alma at the Waffle House. By Paul Goldfinger 2013 ©
This portrait was taken at Waffle House #314 in Weldon, North Carolina. Eileen ordered her eggs well done, and the waitress called out to the chef, “Eggs whale.”
As she was making change, I made this photo. I said, “..took your picture.”
She said, “Thank you.”
The Waffle House is our favorite restaurant when traveling on Route 95 through the south. See our prior post (link below) regarding the Waffle House chain. —PG
BILL FRISELL: “One of These Days” from the Nashville album. The vocalist is Robin Holcomb (b. 1954 Georgia)

Stonehenge. If you think OG is old, consider this:

Paul used Kodachrome 35 mm slide film for this image, and you can see why Simon and Garfunkel wrote a song about it.
The International Center for Photography says this about Paul Caponigro’s famous images of Stonehenge: “Caponigro is best known for his interest in natural forms, landscapes, and still lives. His subjects include Stonehenge and other Celtic megaliths of England and Ireland; the temples, shrines and sacred gardens of Japan; and the deep mystical woodland of New England.”
I met Caponigro, an American photographer, while attending a course at the Maine Photographic Workshops. He is a poet and a pianist, and I got to meet him in his studio. He kindly signed a book of his poems, and I was able to purchase one of his Stonehenge prints. If any of you want to see it in our OG home, just email me.
As for dancing at Stonehenge, in the 1980’s a dance festival was held there, and there are photos to prove that.

Plant a radish…

Did you see the show “The Fantasticks?” We did, twice. We took our two sons when they were little and then when they became men. The show was still playing in Greenwich Village, so we went and sat in the same seats.
Why am I telling you this? Well, today Eileen took a picture of radishes. She didn’t grow them, but being a Wegwoman, she bought them at Wegmans.
And all of this intersects in this post where we have her photograph of radishes and we have a song called “Plant a Radish” from the original cast album of “The Fantasticks.” It’s about raising kids and gardens. Carl Swenson of Ocean Grove performed all over America in this show. See his comment below.

Morning light. Fayettville, North Carolina. by Paul Goldfinger. click for full view.
By Paul Goldfinger.
The light in the morning, soon after the sun comes up, lets you see after the darkness. It is soft and new. It has promise.
You hold a cup of fresh, hot coffee and you breathe in the cool air. The sky is partially lit, and there is one area that is especially bright.
What piece of music would fit best to capture a mood that a new day may bring something wonderful? Since the mood contains some uncertainty, I think it needs to be a little sad, just to avoid too much optimism.
This does it for me: Paul McCartney with Irving Berlin’s “Always.”
