A few little bits

Tonight I will dance. Just thinking about it makes me happy. Even if the music isn't that great (which I'm sure it will be, Luke). Even if there aren't very many people. Regardless of how little or how much I've had to drink. I will dance.

These last few weeks have been a strange combination of busy and slow for me. On the one hand I had the time to obsessively watch the first season of Joan of Arcadia (who knew this show was so good - really, I thought it sounded pretty terrible, but I actually kind of loved it). Plus read two books (You shall know our velocity by Dave Eggars and Mr.Vertigo by Paul Auster) Yet, I also printed some work for a restaurant who I did photos for, shot some new photos of the Fairgrounds, had drinks with friends, was miserable at Miserable Monday and spent a day editing JD's new acting reel.

Lately, I've been listening to NPR and realizing that I am just letting it wash over me - totally incapable of absorbing it all. When I actually stop for a minute and listen, I am just so horrified by everything. I can't give it my full attention, or it's just overwhelming. Yet, I feel responsible to listen, so I leave it on.

I'm working on a photography project of the Great Barrington Fairgrounds that I'm really excited about. I put one of the new images up on dusklight if you want a little taste. Next up - Ghost cowboys. Yea, you heard me.

Also in the works... a collaboration with the great Max of the North Country. Photos and words inspired by little american lives. And by little, I mean miniature.
