Perhaps. . . Just One More. . . And Then. . . .

In answer to your queries, yes, there will be a Circus Project.  I just can't seem to get to it.  I don't know how others finish up a project, make selections, print, and put it down.  I'm not there yet.  I keep shooting "Storyland" though I tell myself "this is the last one."  How do you know what the last one is?  But I have begun to experiment with other films and styles now.  Here's another of the Fuji experiments.  It is difficult, much harder and more time consuming than the Polaroid ju-ju.  Truly, it's pretty damn scary stuff.

But is is summer and I can't stay in the studio.  It is too hot.  So I am looking for an outdoor project, something I can document.  I have a few ideas.  I keep thinking to take the bus to work once or twice a week and shooting what I find in 35mm.  I would want to record tales and stories, of course.  I'd do some research, too.  What percent of Americans outside major cities depend on the bus for transportation?  Who are they economically?  Ethnically?  I've ridden the bus here, or tried to.  It takes hours.  Transfers are usually on a major road with only a bench provided.  In summer here, that is brutal.

For now, though, I sit with the scanner and the computer and work on photographs hour after hour.  I spent two hours on a photo I didn't like yesterday.  I kept trying to make it work.  Way led to way.  And then the afternoon was gone and I had nothing to show for it.  What madness there?

The same madness that leads one to post to blog every day for years, perhaps.  It's like gossip.  No one wants to pass it on, but what else is there to do with it?
