holiday

The first of four days off... I slept late (9:30), rode a bike down to Main Street, which was mostly deserted. What few locals were out were in a mood to talk. It took a couple of hours to make the rounds. Then some clean up, I've found the bare surface of my desk, gotten those last few rolls of negatives put away. I'll probably do proof sheets later tonight. I'm caught up on processing, still have quite a bit of scanning to do.

For the first time, I'm feeling that doing something with existing work is more important than creating new things. I can no longer look back and just know what to pull off the shelf... because one entire shelf is now filled with binders of negatives, and the four binders from 2007 won't fit on the same shelf. There is now, officially, too much. I'm glad I'm back to shooting film these past few years, because trying to organize and file a similar quantity of digital images would be a frightening task. Film is just more tangible.

I'm in the early stages of a web site update, part of a new gallery ids actually already uploaded although still blind for now. Lots of tedious coding to do on other pages before I'll be ready to take it live.

I do have several ideas floating around, concepts. But it's not feeling urgent yet to go out and create. Yet another turn in the path, maybe. I'm not really sure yet.
