Wake Up

Been working on numerous projects all at once. Some in the head some,others actually with the hands.
At first I thought I would keep them all to myself and then share later when finished . The I thought what would be the point of that,some of these ideas may never see the light of day so I should share and in a way I guess cast my flag.
I have a flag , do you have a flag? I claim these ideas, belong to me.Not really as I am sure they have been done over and over.

Rememebr in grade school when your class did those experiments where you would write your name and address on a postcard along with a little message that read
"this is a class experiment,if you find this please write your name
and where you are from and send back"
Then you would put this postcard in a helium balloon and the whole class would release hundreds of balloons , or in the case of my class 23 students.
Then you would wait till you got apostcard back and whenever anyone would get one back you would take a tack and pin it in the map wherever it came from...remember that?
Well one of my ideas is to send out disposable cameras into the world and ask people to photograph there day and then send back to me .Huh? Huh? what do you think? send me your address, I will send you a camera...

Ok then I had this idea that I would redo cd covers and go into music stores and replace their covers with mine.Cause lets be honest, there are some bad covers out there and I think old Britney needs a new look.Although I could only do this with used cd's I think it would still be something that could be done .This could be a very lengthy convert operation that needs a nifty undercover name. Like : Operation freedom..oh wait that is taken..I will take any suggestions as well as any wing men.

I've started a series on Body Scars,large 5x4 feet images of peoples bodies and the scars they have.
Creating fake movie posters
As well as starting , finally my "Popcorn and Candy" photographs, which is the examining of today's popculture and media, what we see, is it real or false,is a picture really "worth a thousand words".

Had a long discussion last night about how if I will ever become digital. Debate is on and at this time I am losing the battle with commercialism in photography. What pays my bills and enables me to shoot my silly self projects, commercial photography. It's just so damn clean and nice and pretty and flawless...the opposite of me and life.

Film project I am working on is beginning to drive me crazy... all the writing making it seem...well seamless
Taking emails from friends and making then read as one big long conversation amongst strangers at a bar. One long flowing conversation all from the scattered thoughts of emails..

Big news to be announced soon, just have to make sure it's final before saying anything though.Making sure all the T's are crossed and all that.Dont want to jump the gun.But I will announce .

listening to:
The Bravery
Arcade Fire
Keren Ann

Reading:
A bunch of chick lit.for some reason. I need a break from reading heavy things so why not read about woman who are successful in life but not in love..Besides I'm leaving for Mexico in two weeks and bringing with me a huge book..an actually Biography as well.So I need the fluff first to rest my brain...Don't mock me,stop judging me.

Watching:
The world of Apu , the trilogy
The River
Old John Ford Films

Waiting for this film and of course this film and lets not forget this as well and heck while I'm at it , I do want to see this now
