Week two: 16th August on

I will be meeting my mentor the beginning of September. We have set the dates for the second weekend of each month. My studio plan is due Aug 30th. This exercise provides needed discipline. I am earnest to define the scope of my work. My interests include questions as the exercise of observing. I want to do some video, but I want to continue the 8x10 portraits and audio interviews of Moosehead Folk. I need to learn the software for audio editing. I also starting shooting with the holga again as I walk. It is a journey I carry as a pause to reflect during my day. This began in Vermont. The elusive image and experiences of place connect. Thinking about my ambitions and working out what is a challenge and what is doable in five months. I am walking the nature trail at the camps reflecting on all the going, being and actions of my day. How busy the mind is connecting the roles, duties, activities and passions of the day. I started reading about and looking at Roni Horn's works. The personal and abstract blend and pop. Close intense observations present us with our role in observing and perceiving the works. The encyclopedia of identity is a brillant set of works—very inspiring! Rereading Everyday-everydayness everyday to set it seep and be distilled in my unconscious.
