Tom Lindsay : Diagnosis: Cancer
Notes
I do want to tell you what the first seven "Omen-Clue" images represent
to me.
- A Jon Boy Omen - This image represented the "crap" I was going to be
running into later that year.
- Surgery - This image represents the surgery that was done to my neck.
It seems almost like the image foresaw the
devastation that was on its way. The concrete pipe that they were laying
is like the main artery that is all that is left on that side
of my neck. I'm so embarrassed by that artery always throbbing and the
way people look at me.
- Karma Police - This image represents that there was no way to hide
from the Cancer that was coming my way.
- Where Am I? This image was a freak-out to me! I knew this was an omen
the second I saw it! That is the image that I
asked the pinhole-disscussion group what they thought it might mean to
them. Some people said it was "just another cool
image", but some saw it as scary like I did.
- Something's Askew at the Big K - This image represents that something
major was about to occur in my life, and we now
know that it was the cancer. I have a handicapped parking permit and
noticed that the parking block was knocked out of
place, and that was what was going to happen to me.
- Camouflage - This image represents that no matter how I hid, the
cancer was going to find me and torment me for a couple
of years. This green army type colored moth landed on the glass screen
door and stayed there even when I had open the door
gently to get my pinhole camera, and also came back out to set up my
tripod. The camera was so close to this live moth and it
didn't move until I had finished. It seemed like it knew that it was
being photographed!
- Ghost - This image represents that a lot of my friends were going to
turn there backs on me since I was sick with the
dreaded "Big C". In fact this good friend has turned into one of the
ghosts and it hurts me deeply.
