Moab Utah 2017, Andy's house, I had traveled to Moab to gather some StoneNudes and to ask Andy to write an essay for a book that i was working on. I told him about the location (Gold Bend) i had in mind for the StoneNude, Andy immediately manifested everything needed, from the perfect Muse to the boats we used to shoot from, his creativity was on an elite level. We talked about our creative process and the freedom that was needed to make original work. Let’s make a portrait i said (I was thinking about my B&W Portraits) “Yes! I love the idea, let me gather a few props, I know the perfect place” Props? I hopped in his car and we drove to the location. Andy grabbed a bag and began to take out his, “props” He was standing on the edge when he opened his coat and I saw his, weapon. Andy is that thing loaded? He smiled, held up the noose and the paddle to the wind, pushed the g***k into his gstring and said, “ it is now” we made the photograph. . .go easy into your next life big man, you will be missed. . .df

Yosemite Valley, July 2010, The Lost Arrow Spire, the afternoon wind had found the line making it vibrate and sing into the void signaling the sessions end. Dean had been walking for a few hours getting footage and practicing his fall and grab. I was down at the anchors rolling video when we called it. Dean slid back across the line to me, he was still in the zone, eyes wild, the updraft flinging his hair into a tangled mess.

"Winkie do you think I'll always catch the line?

 I involuntary flinched at Dean's question, we had been up here for 10 days, rigging and working the line, 120' of beautiful insanity  stretched over the abyss. It was an epic experience watching as the Dark Wizard worked on his performance,  days were spent practicing his dance with a leash, everything was leading up to the solo/leashless crossing. Dean's inner thighs were swollen from deep bruises after being pummeled by the super tight webbing. 

We had allowed ourselves to be blinded to the realities of what was in front of us, Dean was at his limit. His fear became ours, his mastery pulled everyone into the, Zone. The Dark Wizard thrived on conflict,  his, ours, and theirs, he picked us because we all carried that chip, and we could get the job done.

Like flys on the wall watching him transcend his limits, to walk through fear, to embrace the void.

Naw I said, you'll always catch the line.  Fly Free. . .df
