“Autrefois, maison privée
Maintenant, poste de police.
Temps de Sihanouk, cinema
Aujord’hui, bureau de la Partie.”

“Before (once upon a time), private house.
Now, Police station.
In Sihanouk’s time, movie theater.
Today, headquarters of the Party.”

“Spoken quietly over my shoulder by my cyclo driver.”
Phnom Penh, 1988

Maybe every other American movie shouldn’t be based on a comic book. Other countries will think Americans live in an infantile fantasy land where reality is whatever we say it is and every problem can be solved with violence.

In the last couple of months, I’ve worked incredibly hard at something that seems incredibly easy to do: doing nothing. Of course it is actually impossible to not do. Human beings are automated machines designed to engage stimuli. However, I’ve been training myself at the timeless art of uni-tasking. Screw multi-tasking and the little high that it has given me in the past. Does a person really need to complete the tasks simultaneously?

There is something incredibly beautiful about doing less and less. Instead of the clenched-jaw feeling of having too much going on, I find myself actually asking myself what I want to do.

There’s nothing more liberating that having that…

What exactly is it I have been doing? Well, slowly but surely, I have accepted a new role as a manager at AIM. I am continuing to photograph (outdoors, thankfully) and am easing my way out of my winter cocoon. When the snow recedes, Minneapolis comes back to something like life. The spaces that were piled high with unappeasable snowdrifts, have now been reclaimed as sidewalks, public spaces, parks, and all the interstitial spaces of a city.
