The reading is haunting; your work is inviting. I too am curious about the 'homophobic' comment. This is a theme that I find most compelling and beckoning to reflection.

Even in a Betty Crocker cookbook. I like what you've done with the details.Naomihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12208386238252814764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1589722752603511645.post-58685284047003460782009-08-15T05:32:56.295-07:002009-08-15T05:32:56.295-07:00Bill, I was wondering if you could elaborate on yo...Bill, I was wondering if you could elaborate on your observation that the image on the French Toast is homophobic? I could see an observation that I represented God as a male instead of a female and the merits of debating that interpretation, but I'm having a difficult time seeing/understanding your perception of a homophobic image? Hope you can enlighten us all with a further explanation of your observation. Thanks for commenting and your very thought provoking words.William Zubackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02584774871717650028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1589722752603511645.post-79783137107620345212009-08-13T10:14:59.934-07:002009-08-13T10:14:59.934-07:00Congratulations, Bill.

We will attempt to be there. <br />Your God menu is intriguing, especially the homophobic image on the French toast..God certainly is as edible as any other way we accept that presence. Most all religious ceremonies include forms of eating & drinking. Cheese toast accepts God in bas relief .Joe Frank should be pleased by your photograhic interpretation of his bread upon the waters voice.<br />Wm.Schulmanstudioga08@mac.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16498316835284633010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1589722752603511645.post-90649528704652944172009-08-13T05:10:15.074-07:002009-08-13T05:10:15.074-07:00Bill, now this was quite the awesome thing. I hop...Bill, now this was quite the awesome thing. I hope you can have that playing at your exhibits, because this is one far out combination. When I first looked at the photo, before I knew what the talk was going to be like, it felt like there was some sort of symbolizm and I couldn't figure it out quite. I thought that the butter on the toast was like when people see the virgin mary or jesus in a potato chip or a waffle. And then there was the face on the toast in the pan. (how the heck did you do that, by the way?) And then low and behold, it was something like that indeed. Fantastic. So complex, but so simple, so every day. Dang, Bill, these get better every time.Frieda Babbleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11055267289460549990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1589722752603511645.post-69721078490838601552009-08-13T04:43:07.177-07:002009-08-13T04:43:07.177-07:00Very well done Bill.

My mind would have not gone that direction. I like the connection to bread. The body of Christ in communion bread. The face on the bread in the pan is perfect. God is all around us and in our minds and what we eat. Maybe were are made of God. I am not much of a believer in God us less it is that I am the God of myself. Buddhist Eastern View not to be confused with a Western Christian understanding.<br /><br />Bill, you photograph from views from the darker side. It definitely works well with your style. Keep making that shit.Tomnoreply@blogger.com
