"expression is the need of my soul " - archy the cockroach, a former vers libre bard.


Name and Date etched into a Concrete Wall of a Belltower.

This was left by my father who had just become the Maintenance Director of Saint John's Catholic Church. He retires this year and I went to the Bell Tower once more and for the final time as my access will soon be severely limited by not having an 'in'. The opposite wall has older names of some of the prominent Irish Catholic families in the parish.

This is the first of a short series of photographs on the non verbal communication of the most primal of messages: "I Was Here."

Other photos are here, here, and of course, here.
