So, I am actually still making photographs. Instead of getting off my ass and investigating, documenting and experiencing the urban fabric, I’m sequestered in my studio. Here are a few objects of my collection that I keep returning to… because of design as well as their particular place as objects in/out of time.

“I don’t speak Spanish so I have no idea what Marcos Goymil’s Urbanidadesis about – but I like the images.”

This leads me to wonder: Is it actually important to be able to research an image (through language-text)? Or can we just like an image… without being able to follow through with the research and contextualization that supports it?

Holy Björk! What would be more intimidating, having Marina Abromović gaze into your eyes… or Björk?

Day 58, Portrait 22 on Flickr – Photo Sharing!.

In the spirit of Richard Long’s text and sculptures involving the process of walking, I’ve decided that I am going to document each of the times during my day that I merge into walking meditation. Ideally, I’m going to force myself to summarize each walk in just a few images. Superficially, the process of walking is… incredibly boring, basic, and often overlooked. I’ll be the first to admit that I sometimes dread the end of my workday and the ensuing 30 minute walk, almost always following the same path, to my home. I’ve tried wearing an iPod, talking on the phone, and what not, however, the process of walking demands my attention. And so, I’ll surrender to the ordinary again. Perhaps the greatest entertainment isn’t entertaining… it is simply being present.

Here are today’s entries:
