i have neglected to take photographs for a long year and one season now. that's not to say i haven't made a sorry attempt from time to time, but the sad fact is my momentum has gone. what's sadder still is my inspiration hasn't left at all, reminding me there have been thousands of wasted or forgotten fragments i never did put to picture or even think to jot down.
i'll make a conscious effort to get back into the swing of things now, if for no reason other than to stop being wasteful.
seattle is such a tease though. the places and kinds of people i want to explore all hide themselves very well, and unfortunately, uncovering anything here isn't as safe as it was back home. it's not the kind of environment where i can go at it alone, happily strap my camera to my back and meander solo through the woods, nor is it the kind where i can dress / undress one of my brave friends (assuming i had a single one here) and send her up a tree.
i'm not complaining about urban life because i do, in fact, enjoy the sense of anonymity this city allows me, but i am a have-my-cake-and-eat-it-too crybaby.
and, well, i miss my friends and my forests.

ReplyDeletei didn't know you were back! i should have 'followed' followed followed and had more faith that you'd return. for here you are.
it's hard to imagine you inside the cities smokes. are you okay? you sound lonely and i worry for your dreamy bee eyes. but then i suspect you are also a cool cat with cigarette dangling lips. more than capable of everything in the world.
oh but forests and friends.
crybaby. in the laundromat. cities are strange places. i live in a tiny one and i don't think i could do any bigger. make sure you go to the park as often as you can. visit ducks and goldfish if you have no friends.
pack your camera again.
you are gold xx
