last spring i took the first pic of franz writing a children's story in peet's coffee house (he never knew i took it), transforming him at home on the computer as i imagined him to be. too long i delayed giving him the pictures. when i came down from the mountains this fall, i found out he'd died suddenly and unexpectedly two weeks before. so i offer these to you who remember, hoping he's sitting in that cloud up there, finishing his book.
