Son had to write some small essays to attach to his photography projects (it's a 400-level class, so expectations are high). A few days ago he showed me his work, plus the professor's feedback. One of the photo projects revolved around different views of my late father's old Frick Sawmill. The photos were wonderful, no surprise there. The essay, though. I got to the end and started crying. He started by writing about his process of moving around the mill, finding good light and interesting composition. Then he went on to draw accurate but distrurbing parallels between the conditions of the mill, (deadly electric panel, open driveshaft), and my father's creative but wildly chaotic personality.

It was. uh. it was. he wasn't wrong, is the thing. Hit hard, tho.

(this isn't one of his photos, it's my drawing)

Thinking about the relationship between garmonbozia and the trees. How Bob and Mike trade in pain and suffering, and the slow deforestation of Twin Peaks is just another form of that. I’m thinking about how the trees have souls, and the sawmill exists to chop them down. It’s a loose connection, but I really do think the sawmill is thematically important to Twin Peaks, particularly considering the wood’s connection to life in TP. In the penultimate episode of season 2, Cooper says to Annie “Our forests need saving because of how people regard them.” She replies, “expendable.” The treatment of the trees as expendable reflects the way that Bob’s victims are regarded. The whole town will turn a blind eye to their suffering if it means preserving the status quo. The slow deforestation of Twin Peaks is reflective of the town’s corruption, both literally and morally.
