Albany Bulb

  • Albany Bulb
    These photographs are just a few I have taken over the last ten years at The Albany Bulb, also known as the Landfill, the Waterfront and just The Bulb. It is a place I feel passionate about. That much is obvious. There are many of us who believe that this piece of the much hyped Eastshore State Park should have been left untouched and unmanaged - because it is a unique example of what happens when a place naturally and organically self regulates. But the dogma of 'preservation' and 'conservation areas' 'resource protection', 'habitats' and 'liability' overrules all individual identity. They cannot leave anything untouched, un-designed. It is as if if they (the park planners) didn't make it, it has no value. Rules, guidelines, regulations, interpretive signage, fences, safety, sanctioned art - it leaves nothing to the imagination. That is what the landfill meant to us - a place of unlimited imagination.

Deb in Minnesota

I'm chuckling as I read this because the movie line I love (oops, used that word) to hate is: "Love means never having to say you're sorry." I'll never forgive "Love Story" for it. Grrr.

Anyway, perhaps we do need many different words to describe the various feelings we feel for people and things.

I know for sure that the word love wasn't used often enough in my family growing up. So we make a point of using it now. It's nice.

Like Deb in MN Love the word, was not a constant in my growing up household either. I don't however, bandy it about or rather, I should say, I try. Sometimes it's hard--one can get wrapped up in the frenzy of it--there it is over-head on billboards, it's everywhere, as you point out.

I'm going to try harder...I am truly, madly deeply in....awe.

Barry

i really and truly LOVE you, Jill!

Exclusive love IS overrated,
but not love itself.
I´m sure I would love your mechanic (even though I don´t even have my driver´s license)
...I try to just tell everyone I adore that I do so- without to expect a positive respond.

Just because I love to love, and I know it´s nothing more than a fullfilling moment but nothing less than the motor of Life.
And I really love my aunt, and felt it even more after reading her last blog-entry.

Jill

I always think - who the heck is she talking about, when my niece calls me her aunt...and then I remember.
And 'awe' is a GREAT word - but misused too. Being in awe of someone has been used to indicate some sort of hero-worship, whereas it seems to me, to be about a unique kind of wonderment. Like seeing something familiar and noticing it - as if for the frst time. An awe at the possibility of love, of beauty, of a leaf opening in spring, every year. Of a kitten newly born, moving quite naturally to the mother's teat for milk, a sort of amazement that another person could feel strongly for me. Awe. Love it....

the synic (not a typo)

as far as the words go yes they should removed, but that does not mean you can not feel that amazing in awe, fucking butterfiles in your stomach can't friggin breathe feeling.. is that the L word?? how bout you just burn a cd that blows your mind and hopefully it "moves" them as much as it moved you when it was made..
I think on another note what if we just disclosed what our true intentions were when we hook up with the person.. like i think you are better than my previous, and i just want to have a fun time and use you a bit.. you would probably not sighn up for a repeat date would you??
but the truth is you rarely feel that crazy feeling with most.. or at least with many i have been with..thoug i can be a "love em leave them" type..
