Georgia O’Keeffe

Yousuf Karsh, 1956

“I decided to photograph her as another friend had described her: ‘Georgia, her pure profile calm, clear; her sleek black hair drawn swiftly back into a tight knot at the nape of her neck; the strong white hands, touching and lifting everything, even the boiled eggs, as if they were living things - sensitive slow-moving hands, coming out of the black and white, always this black and white.’  This portrait hangs in her Abiquiu home, now a museum operated by the Georgia O’Keeffe Foundation.”

The late 1800s and early 1900s were periods of profound change, with the Industrial Revolution reshaping economies, societies, and lifestyles. Urbanization surged as people migrated from rural areas to cities in search of work and new opportunities. This shift led to the development of infrastructure, such as roads and public transportation systems, that facilitated movement and connected communities like never before. The unpaved street depicted in the photograph represents a transitional moment; while many streets were still unpaved, the burgeoning transportation networks would soon revolutionize travel.

Bicycles played a crucial role in this transformation, becoming symbols of freedom and mobility during the 19th century. With the introduction of the safety bicycle in the 1880s, cycling surged in popularity, providing individuals with an affordable means of transportation. Women, in particular, embraced cycling as it afforded them greater independence and mobility, challenging traditional gender roles in the process. The sight of people riding bikes in the photograph reflects this newfound liberation and the societal shifts that accompanied it.

Hot air balloons, meanwhile, captured the imagination of the public, representing the adventurous spirit of exploration and the quest for flight. The first successful human flight in a hot air balloon took place in 1783, and by the late 19th century, ballooning had evolved into a popular recreational activity. Events like balloon races and exhibitions drew crowds, fostering a sense of wonder about the possibilities of human flight. The presence of a hot air balloon in your photograph serves as a metaphor for the optimistic vision of the future that many people shared during this time. It signified not just technological progress but also the aspiration to transcend earthly limitations.

I would love to be lost in a dark circus of freaks at 16th or 17th century. To live few years with them, hear all their stories and inmerse into their worlds.

Just a thinking.

AMY THANKS: First of all, I'd like to thank Terry. I am so grateful for you. I never thought I would find someone who could finish my musical thoughts like you do. Thank you for your creativity, your patience, and most of all for supporting and encouraging me- as a writer and a friend. Dave Fortman, once again you've made the dream come true. Thank you for believing in me, pushing me to be my best, and cracking me up when I thought my brain might explode. Bro-tools forever. :) Jeremy- thanks for ruling it again! Its always a pleasure hanging out and working with you. A big thanks to the Record Plant- you were all so good to us. Rose, Mike and everyone- I miss you already! Dave Campbell- you are so gifted, and I will always look forward to working with you. You take our music to a whole new level, and it wouldn't be Evanescence without you. Thank you DJ Lethal for giving this record spooky, sexy thump! :) Also thanks again to Susan Youngblood and the Millenium choir for another beautiful job. A very special thank you to Baldwin Pianos for all of your support and for all you've given me. It's been wonderful! Thank you Diana Meltzer (my big little sister!) for your endless support and friendship. Thank you to everyone at Wind-up records for all your hard work, and for all the time and freedom I was given to create this album. Thank you Gary, Patty, and everyone at Haber Corporation. You've changed my life! Andy- you have listened to me, supported me, fought for me, and laughed with me. You're a good friend and a great manager- Thank you goodnight! John, Rocky and Will, you all did such a great job in the studio. Will, I can't imagine playing without you. We've had so much fun together and I'm gonna miss you so much. This sucks! Good luck and much love (special thanks to John, Rocky and Terry for staying in the band). I want to thank my sisters Carrie and Lori for singing background vocals on 'call me when you're sober.' You guys were awesome and it was so cool to have you hang out in the studio with me. I want to thank my girlfriends for always standing by me (and sometimes helping me stand) Beth, Faith and Tiff- I love you! (you too, Kim and Patty!) And Beth- I couldn't do this without you. You keep me sane and somehow make anywhere in the world feel more like home… Even Japan. (See-ma-sen!) Josh, you are my muse. Nothing inspires me the way you do. Thank you for all my missing pieces. Thank you for your strength and love. Thank you for letting me see myself through your eyes, because only then could I know that I am good enough for you. Thank you to all our wonderful fans and friends at the evboard. Thank you God, and last (and anything but least), my family for loving me, supporting me, accepting me, and always being my sanctuary. I love you!
