It's perhaps only because I'm on deadline at the office, working part of the weekend, not thinking about much else. Maybe it will pass after Tuesday. But there's no particular desire to pick up a camera at the moment. I'm getting residual messages from models, one local and one in San Francisco just recently, and I just can't get real excited about it.
Next week is Burning Man, which I'm looking forward to mostly because my cell phone doesn't work on the playa, and while there's e-mail at center camp, I'm never tempted to use it. For a week, I cut all ties with the outside world. They can't find me. Whatever it is, it has to wait.
This year I'm feeling a desire to bring a few political philosophy books along, and a notebook and a pen, and go back to basics, sort through core beliefs. We'll see how realistic that is, because the heat of the day tends to sap motivation. I don't deal well with extreme heat. And at night... if you've been, you know.
I do bring a camera to this event each year, and my style tends to go even more minimalist than usual. There's so much visual overload, it becomes essential to edit out almost everything, find very precise things of interest. Things, more often than people.
Maybe I'll deal with the models after I return. Right now, September feels like yesterday.

it's sort of weird to prepare to go to burning man with the intention of avoiding people, but that is my intention. my favorite part is also that i'm cut off from email/phones/contact, although i do make use of the BRPO.
i'll be there the 23 through the 29th. if you can find me, it would be great to shoot out there, the earlier in the week the better. i'll be @ 4:30 and esplanade - False Profit.
