Dancing and joy ensued.

9/11/2001 - Pentagon, 25 years later

I made these pictures near the Pentagon in the immediate aftermath of the tragic attack there on September 11, 2001.

Never forget. 

May the memories of the lives lost ever be for a blessing.

David Fair, z'l

The world is a little less bright today, as I have learned of the passing of artist David Fair of the bands Half-Japanese, Coo Coo Rockin' Time and of the Shakemore festival family. His uniquely quirky humor, music, dance, jetstream of joy, great wit, bouncy energy and talent lit us all up. May his memory and good cheerful work be a blessing for all 

(I made all these photos of David at various Shakemore festivals).
