Man in railway station
Drawing with charcoal on the rough inside of the cover of an exercise book when I was in school, aged perhaps fourteen, so the station was probably Sutton or Wimbledon.

Cuzco: church of Santa Teresa
—if I'm reading my scribbled title aright. Or it may have been "at the top end of Santa Teresa Street". Postcard mailed and franked and later borrowed back for copying.
A friend, before my journey to Peru, pressed on me a camera, which I didn't really want, It was stolen from my backpack by one of the children who had gathered around while I was sitting on a kerb in a plaza and painting another postcard. I had to pay my friend for the camera, with which I had tried only one shot, out of the window of a traveling train.

Artist on beach at Eilat
He was sitting on a canvas chair painting a view of the hotels. He told me to paint his portrait, handing me a floppy piece of canvas, a brush, two tubes of color, and a dish of linseed oil. I used too much of the latter, which gave a free effect, but the burnt-umber pigment seeped outward, and the paint essentially never dried. It stuck to stuff in my backpack, and years later nothing could be laid on it without sticking. The cursive Hebrew letters say Ish ba-khof, "man on the beach".

First erarcture

Dyehouse
I worked for a spell in the dyehouse of a bleachery, part of the textile milling industry of South Carolina. It was a backward company, and formidable liquids spilled around us as we filled the vats with dyes. I should have been wearing boots and gloves. The canvas is 16 inches wide and 53 long.
