Black t-shirt silkscreened in pink and red streaks of ink. It reads "AI ain't it" along the top of a high contrast silhouette of a skeleton holding on to a chainlink fence and having all of her flesh exploding off her body from a nuclear explosion shockwave. Sarah Connor's terrifying prophecy as depicted in Terminator 2 that kept me up at night as a kid.
A black sweatshirt with a silkscreened image in white ink of Woody Guthrie standing with a guitar slung around his neck with "This machine kills fascists" scrawled on it in his distinctive handwriting. Around him the words "Fascists Bound to Lose" are printed on stencil letters.

A view of White Sands Beach on the Minneapolis side of the Mississippi. The trestle bridge stretches across the dark summer green that lines the shore. A few small trees straggle up out of the water edge, a storm-stunted ash with bared roots, and a half-dead willow. Too young children play on the empty white sand under a bright blue sky scattered with white cloud puffs.
Photo of the cassette Bosonnova by Pixies. It is a red saturn-looking planet that reads Pixies around the rings, surrounded by a black and red negative of what looks like the surface of the sun .
Screenshot of a screen a child is looking at in photo from a NYT article. When you zoom in it appears to be a transcript some strange dialogue about women wooing soldiers. Possibly from a novel or play from the early 20th century, completely devoid of context and weird for a what looks like a middle school kid to read anyway.
A canoe is sitting on a trailer attached to a bike. The bike has a bright headlight showing green bushes and a trail ahead. The red taillight shines off the concrete bridge overhead and the limestone footings. The canoe is wood with cane seats and has a red/green nautical light mounted to the end closest to the camera. The ground looks wet and puddly.

The lettering is in yellow over a dark gothic looking photo which shows a woman in black walking down a floral carpet staircase holding a candlestick, while a dredded Bushwick Bill peers out from behind a grand piano wearing a partial white "phantom" mask and old fashioned poofy sleeves under a black tuxedo coat.

A blue sky with white poofy clouds floating and some wispy pale ones too, hovering beyond them in the distance. The sand in the foreground looks warm and khaki colored. The Mississippi surface is still but for a tiny ripple. The cliffs on the St. Paul side shine white in the sun while the leafless trees appear crispy brown like a marshmallow held near coals almost too long. Lake/Marshall bridge steps over the dark water off to the left where cottonwood blossoms intercede.
A wooden canoe slips through the grey sky colored water between the rotten ice and the treeless shore. There are two empty seats, a canvas bag, a ball cap and a couple paddles scattered about the bottom.

The plastic of the case is scratched and dusty. "Contains bonus tracks not available on the LP"
Crossing under the Xerxes ave bridge on the frozen creek ice of Minnehaha Creek. Smooth black ice gives way to crackling packed snow as the studded tire bike the person filming rides faster, taking them from Minneapolis into Edina.

Peak color over on the St. Paul side, just south of Lake/Marshall bridge, as seen from the Minneapolis shore. The water looks dark and cold and there are a few wispy clouds in a pale blue sky. The trees are a riot of green, yellow, orange, and red.
A truly terrifying rubber Great White Shark puppet bobs in the shallows near shore on the Minneapolis side of the Mississippi River, just downstream from the trestle bridge that crosses into St. Paul.
The looking to the northeast through the Mississippi Gorge as it passes through Minneapolis and St. Paul. The trees are just starting to turn towards fall, the Lake/Marshall bridge arches gracefully in the distance, where the river bends out of sight.
A beige wall has some scratches in it which could be interpreted as resembling a cowboy with a big chin, an unexpressive mouth, no nose, and pin-prick eyes resting under a hat with an enormous brim.
A plywood sheath wraps every inch of the former White Castle at the corner of Lake and Blaisdell in Minneapolis. A bunch of fluffy clouds crowd the pale blue August sky beyond and a saggy chain link fence languidly guards the site so none may approach.
8 giant cucumbers lie glistening at the bottom of a sink
White sand dunes in the foreground give way to the occasional willow, with the river, trees, trestle, and blue sky beyond. No clouds in the sky
A white beach, a brown river, and a yellow sky converge in the shadowy willows. The trestle bridge crosses the river in the distance, standing on white limestone legs, the rusty metal marching into the tree-line into St. Paul. Everything is abstracted by the river-glass that covers the lens.
Minneapolis skyline sits off to the left beyond the dark trees on the islands. A wispy white cloud reflects on a still lake lit by moonlight. The bow of a canoe emerges from under the parkway bridge kids love to jump off. It is a black triangle of shadow with a warm red and green glow of a dim navigation light at the point.
A Harry vs Larry cargo bike is hooked up to a canoe trailer on the grass near a sandy beach in the long shadows of a summer evening.
