Recipes for the Mind: Photo Book Review

Charles Lindsay is a geologist, adventurist, and photographer. Recently Charles published a new photography and poetry book titled “Recipes for the Mind”. The book is an exploration behind the vivid imagination of Charles as he delves into concepts of art, technology, consumption, and near-death experiences. Charles is a Guggenheim Fellow and AIR Program Director of SETI Institute. Currently, he is represented by Margery Newman (NYC).

Excerpt from the text:

“Recipe for the Love Handles”

My elevator speech
Missile guidance system
$150,000
For art
Is too cheap
Pony up
This train is leaving

@SpaceX
Offering Elon
The Rocket Brain
With laser focus
He requests a design
For a desk

Almost but not quite
Mortality
A game changer
At species level
Lets go
The Rocket Brain
Doesn’t need to know
Where its going

Curious how things
Go or don’t
A hero

On the playa
Invisible
Must be wonderful
To be invisible

Sunny day blue sky
bitcoins, corn syrup
Love handles
Sweet
