Tony’s out and biting back already. He filed a lawsuit on behalf of prisoners so they earn more than 60 cents an hour for (productive) prison labor. (Tony Serra, San Francisco’s samurai/poet/lawyer who just got out of jail for refusing to pay income taxes.) I’ve known Tony for over 50 years. Tony’s friend, hunter/fisherman/builder (and lawyer!) Jasper had a barbecue wild duck dinner to celebrate Tony’s freedom to once again prowl the nation’s courts of law. Beautiful sunny afternoon in a funky and charming hand-built house on a hillside, with Tony and friends. Major good vibes. Wild Duck, red wine, and wild rice. Jasper built his house on a steep unbuildable hill site in 1974 and filled it with his woodsman/hunter/fisherman objects throughout. I’d photographed the place before and was once again struck by its right-feelingness and homey charm. A home for body and soul.
