Near the end of 2013 Ben had a conversation with me about composing to a schedule. This being about a song writing challenge group, and how it might help overcome certain hurdles. I wasn't fully comfortable with joining it, but it did inspire me to write a bunch of mostly terrible pieces. Here is a work in progress that I dislike less than most of the others.

Also the images are some of the random balancing of objects I used to do while in public spaces (I mainly just do it with any coins in a tip now standing them on edge). The movie editor required that I have some kind of image content so I used those stills. Feel free to not watch, it's not exciting.
The (working) title is Forever Stops Today, but i suspect that is a bit too ridiculous even for me so it will likely change.
The Manual for Not Quitting
A. Make friends with others who make art, and share your in-progress work with each other frequently.
B. Learn to think of (A), rather than the Museum of Modern Art, as the destination of your work. (Look at it this way: If all goes well, MOMA will eventually come to YOU.) - David Bayles & Ted Orland, Art & Fear

New Photo series.
Howdy folks. No one has posted here in a while and so I thought I would invite everyone to post through their own email accounts so that there is one less signing in step, making it easier. Also we can use this to lock down the site even further by making it available to the authors only (us when we are logged in).
Enough about that, I have been doing some photographitization. The only one I haven't shot yet from this group is Ben, which necessitates a meet up of some kind me thinks. Pictures are below. Steph only shows up in two of the test exports and Anna in none. I will update in a few weeks or so, have taken a pause on this series. Will write more about it after the images.
The original idea was to create an automatic camera process that would create some form of cubist-esque images, as illustrated in the last two in this post. But I started getting more into the images above creating chains of self and combining self with others. There is a good chance I will do some form of singular portrait with all the images I take, but I don't know how interested I am in the original idea.
