Some - what - all over
Marina series
All these endless shots i call the marina series came about because i had no money, no car, no friends to go anywhere else with. The heat here is so intense six or seven months of the year i went to the only places i could go that had some cooler air, some quiet, some space to breathe, some distance from the 7 million people crammed into this area. The entire time i've been on steemit has been maybe the hardest time of my life.
I'm really excited and proud of the photos i've taken. They are my best work. Not everything i post here. I'm talking about the really odd and abstract ones. I feel a sense of peace and joy while i'm doing it. I can't explain. I'm pissed off at myself for even attempting to do so. What the F--- is an artist? Well I can't come up with anything for that. It's my way of being or something...
I had an infamous art teacher in when i was a junior in college. Everyone was super nervous around him and he had this huge reputation for being really hard on people. Actually he was much more than that and funny as hell too! But i digress. Anyway one day he asked everyone - in a life drawing class - What their major was. Most people were BA art majors which is a general no big deal major that you don't have to get approved to be in. A few of us were Bachelor of Fine Art majors which meant more units and you had to be voted in by the dept. He just basically asked everyone else what the hell they were afraid of and why the F--- were they not committed to doing it? Most of the room just collapsed in fear.
I was in and have been since.
I continually forget that 99.9999999999 % of people have no idea what the the hell i'm talking about or that commitment to being all in.
And it shouldn't matter because it's your life and you're probably having fun so there it is :)
This is why i don't blog. My thoughts go in too many directions and it mostly makes me feel like shit doing it. I could talk and tell stories but that's an old time thing that doesn't transfer to typing for me. I miss the days when i had no cellphone and no computer. I thought those things were going to be great! And maybe they are for everyone. Not me
well, another failed attempt at blogging. My apologies
