"Here's Mitchell. He was in my spirit group during ISW. An exciting young man he is and a good friend he could potentially become. He moved in to Dan's room back in E4, very coincidental.
Seems to be pretty decent with that 6-stringed instrument he lugs around. He might very likely score my next short film."

I believe my current readership now extends to two real people! Hoorah!
So, in my attempt to:
1. Have regular updates
2. Get my work out there more with (1)
3. Improve my trait
4. Lead a visual life
.. I plan to take at least a photo a day and put it up on here, my Facebook page, my Twitter page and perhaps in time a new Flickr page.
A visual life, creative living, expressing yourself.. whatever you may want to call it, seems to be essential to being a creative. An "artist's" relation to art/creativity is believed to be something lived out, in it's entirety. It shouldn't just take up a portion of your life, like a switch you can flick on and off, I think it ought to be evident and visible in all areas of life. That evidently is not a very simple task. The average 21st century kid is overwhelmed with things to do or accomplish.
As a realistic compromise, I think that I will take maybe an hour out of my day to walk around, live life visually, capture and image and share it with the world. I think that's a healthy practice to adopt as a hopeful visual artist of the future. I suspect a high degree of discipline and commitment will be required. Perhaps this will be a good indicator of whether I ought to be doing this in the first place.
365 projects are extremely popular with photographers. But if this is something that I am going to live with, how will I ever justify stopping? Project entirelifespanfromthispointonwards? My father has wrote an e-commentary (almost without fail), every week for the past 11 years. He loves writing and will keep doing what he loves. I hope I too truly love image making, as an ends to itself.
Today is the 22nd of September and this is day one.
I was wondering when you'd get started on your 365 project. This should be interesting, I look forward to it. I expect great visual things.

ReplyDeleteHow in blazzers did you find this abandoned clump of words!? Guesses are a link on Facebook. How does it feeeeel to conform!? Hahaha. Nice to hear from you. When are you coming to Canada?
Well, better late then never, as they say. I really hope I'll have the discipline to carry through. Not sure how long I'll last. I'm not very consistent with these things. I am not sure about great visual things, but I will do my best to create inspiring images.
ps. Thank you for commenting!! My first ever comment! Hahaha. Sad, but true.
