Five shorts, with images, in a new format I’m playing with
You don’t really realize just how many there are unless you specifically pay attention to them.
Let’s begin with a question. What happens when you let the aspiration and vision of a project far outstrip the resources you have to give to it?
I don’t know what they will build here, only that it will be different, and that I want to see what I can see here while I still can.
I can think of at least a dozen nearby houses and other structures that have been demolished within the last few months.
While looking for plum blossoms to photograph, I began to receive news alerts on my phone.
Spend enough time in the woods and you develop a sense of whether it’s a bird or a deer or even a snake, and it happens before you can even turn your head to see.
You admonish yourself for having neglected them until you needed them and wonder why you have also for so long put up with a job in which you are forever making up for the incompetence of others…
Even when the weather is bad, I go out to wander and make pictures for thirty or forty minutes. Every working day, this is my lunchtime habit, a recursive practice that is exercise for both my body and my mind.
