Living in SB has me thinking differently.  

As Instagram continues to fall apart we need to focus on driving interest back to our personal sites. The access that these platforms provide is immense and immediate but we are starting to see the downside. Twitter vs. the typewriter in one form and the print vs. the post in another. As we evolve as artists, new interpretations of how technology can help will be formed.

 

DAY TWO BOOGALOO

20140308-174244.jpgToday was so NY. I walked from the hotel to Harlem and then over to The Upper West Side and down toward The High Line. It felt so neurotic walking to nowhere, but I had fun. The Garment District has a lot of "dressers" which makes total sense, I'm kinda mad I didn't stop anyone for a portrait. I don't think I am eating enough and get a little weird around 3. SOMETHING TO WORK ON

DAY ONE DONE

Two boroughs down, three to go. Trekking through The Upper East Side into East Village. I was on my way to The Aperture Foundation when a close friend wanted to link up, so I left Chelsea and took off to Midtown. We then crossed The Williamsburg Bridge to go to his house in Bushwick (if you wanna sound cool). Talked to some loke- dawgs (yes the West Coast slang is necessary) and heard some cool stories.

Still Watching

Lately, I have been shooting more and more. I am acquiring a lot of data. And I feel, once again, that I dont know what to do with it all. The difference? I'm ok with it this time. I dont care if all my images have METADATA. I dont care if they get catalogued or even set for web viewing, let alone printing. I had high hopes of getting back into printing, but what? I dont know if I could cull my work into a show. Meaning, I think anything attributed statement wise from a "show" of mine would be contrived. Im just watching the world. It's pretty out there. I wish more people truly looked "out" more.

I dont meen to sound so dreary. I am shooting better and better work every day. Hopefully this, whatever it is, will help me to edit more. Maybe something WILL come of my view on this life I live. Maybe a book is due...

WATCH OUT
