I thought I send this link to a news story about photography.
I wonder is it easier to start a business when you realise you have a lot of followers, a more natural leap?
Sometimes people have asked about my photography and where am I going to make something more of it, either to improve my skills, run a business or start exhibiting.
But I think it needs to be known that this is more about my obsessive behaviours, that documenting something on camera is about soothing my fears of a moving-decaying-regrowing-reinventing world. Perhaps it has something to do with my childhood, where belongings of mine were removed without asking me. I would come home and because I didn't clean my room, the cleaning fairies had done so. There are so many things I wish I had photos of, because I remember them vaguely in my mind and they are never coming back.
So my photos never need to be crisp or well set out. They are not particularly for any audience, save the audience where they also are longing for a memory jog about something they once had or saw.
Having the smart phone has been magnificent. I feel connected to my world, as in a feedback loop. No longer is something I see something I have to share when I finally get home. This is our new world - where you are here with me now (in so far as you also have a device that lets you see what I am seeing right now and not when you finally get home).
Today I go to chiro, and I am so looking forward to that too!
