new york - well, now that i am back i can see the multiple benefits of going away for a while, and to a big city. big cities i am used to. i spent some hours walking and taking pictures. the more pictures i take the better, based on a one decent photo out of 36 rule (i could get lucky, it could be more). more about new york later.
today i was back in the studio. mostly writing and playing with some wall work (see below). it is important right now to record every idea for work i have in case i want to return to it at a later date. i made a start at some scratch poems taken from my notebook. it involves taking original text and crossing out/editing back most of the words on a page until you are left with the bare bones of meaning. i usually do a further edit out of the selected words. (see below)
the next posts will be some excerpts from the illustrated essay mentioned above and, when back from the developer, hopefully some images and text from new york.
don't look away.
