SOME THINGS I HAVE MAILED
I am going to think about things I have mailed right now. I will try to compile a list of 5 things. Lets see how it turns out.
- I mailed a polaroid of the view looking south at Hateruma Island in Japan. It's the southern most island, so the view was a view all the way at the bottom. I mailed it from the island in the little post office. I remember this.
- I sent a letter from Japan via air-mail.
- I sent a letter on the same day as above from Japan via the sea. I like to think of both letters leaving my hand at the same point, and having the same destination point, yet the time and place between these two points are far from the same. A journey across an ocean on a boat. Or flying through the sky in an airplane.
- I once mailed dusk from Palos Verdes. I photographed the horizon after the sun went down until it was completely dark. I cut open the envelope and bound the photographs in there. The envelope was a book.
- I once mailed a map (made of photographs) to my favorite place to watch the sunset in Palos Verdes (where I took the above photographs). I mailed 3 of these and gave 2 away as birthday presents.
