oKAY...what do i do with myself when i don't know what to do with myself? I've tried what comes naturally, which is a big pile of NOTHING. That doesn't work. I sink. So yesterday, I got up, showered and dressed before the kids even knew it was morning and got them off to school and started my work day. I should say here, I have no work ethic. I am drawn to the idea that one should follow whatever feels right. Unfortunately for me, what feels "right" may be, for the moment, playing the guitar in my pajamas for the next 90 "moments" and then I check stat counter, e-mail, skype, take a call or two from the girls...and you can see how the days just slip away.
But yesterday was different. I had a plan. So I tidied up a few things that needed attention, submitted to an intriguing call for entries...OH and THEN got REALLY nice news that two of my images were going to be part of a group show at the Griffin Museum of Photography. Jet Fuel.
Carried me through the afternoon. So I threw myself into this project that no one may care about but it kept me occupied and extremely happy while I was making it. The bummer is, since I HAVE NO ASSISTANT...I don't have a clue how to load it properly for consumption. If you are so inclined...click on the link below, take a hot bath, have a snack, read a magazine, make a few calls...and then see if it has loaded. And if it indeed has...watch...this is what I do to occupy myself when I cannot figure IT OUT.
I don't know if it's the music, or the slow motion video, but this makes me so emotional every time I see it. It's not sadness, it's just like the video sometimes looks at me, nods it's head and says "i know....i know".
I just really love it.

It's lovely and fluid, just like a woman.
