I’m not quite sure where any of my writing goes any more. So, I’ll just keep writing if you keep reading (and commenting or emailing for the love of God). If it’s rambly or disjointed or unintelligible hopefully we can work together to figure it out. Eventually, everything will find it’s place again and we’ll all be a lot happier.
July 20th, 2006:
background noise
I’ve finally learned to quell a lot of the background thought that seems to run constantly through my mind. I’ve realized over time that the thoughts themselves aren’t unusual in the world. The fact that I pay attention to them at all is. (Some of you will know exactly what I’m talking about here.)
This is mostly a good thing because it allows me to make a little more sense out of the world and allows the world to make a little more sense out of me. It’s got a bad side too, though. There’s now one more piece of me that remains very hidden most of the time. I lost a very good friend not too long ago for expressing too much of myself because I thought I was in the clear. So, if and when this background noise should ever be allowed to the front with anyone other than myself, I’ll have to be very careful about how I do it and who I do it with.
Five A Week: on hiatus
I pulled the plug on “Five-A-Week”:http://revjim.net/five-a-week/. The majority of the audience that I have here just isn’t supportive enough or feedbacky enough when it comes to art to warrant the unimaginable amount of time I spent creating for it.
Those of you that miss it, fear not. My regular photography posting will return soon — even sooner when I learn that people actually do miss it. I’ve got a new place to hold it all that will allow me to better express this art, and to find other like-minded people to share my work with, to support my work, and to better myself from. As soon as I unveil it, I’ll let you know.
