Order

I find myself sitting in my study, and all around me are papers, books, notes, pens, paint brushes, magazines, cables, envelopes, rulers, and boxes with strange stuff in. They are not neatly tucked away, but are scattered all around, on my desk and on the floor, even the printer became a surface handy to place stuff on. Sometimes I find this mess, as some would call it, quite liberating because everything is accessible immediately. But days like today I just wish I had an hour or two to just clean everything. The funny part is that I theoretically have an hour but that time is already planned for something else. What I'm trying to say is that normally we look for opportunities like these to escape from the actual things we need to complete. I believe the word is procrastination. But I am now experiencing quite the opposite, so does that mean the stuff that I actually have to do in that hour today is a form of procrastination in the context of cleaning my study?

Today I'm going to create a photogram, and I'm quite curious how it will be. And what the final result will look like. Theme for today: Take the old and make it new.

Reflection

I realised after going through my latest posts that I found myself becoming a little lazy. What I mean by this is that posting images and information relevant, I neglected the personal approach of just writing down thoughts I have.

By reflecting on this site and where I am with it now showed me that once a way is found to simplify things it is followed. This is of course not the point, the point is to reassess and reinvent new ideas and thoughts that can be inspired by things, but should not be those things! That is unfortunately what I've been doing, which will change now. I find that every external influence presented on these posts need to be personally drawn into context of why it found a space on my blog... why it inspires me... or how it is a key to my photography.

The reason I write this here is that I don't what this blog, this effort to be associated with my personal procrastination, but rather my hard work to stay creative and explore topics that contribute to the inspired and somewhat excited K. Also, it should function as a guideline of how to systematically tackle inspirations, in case I would find myself feeling creatively blocked and need step-by-step instructions.

I hope that by putting my thoughts into words they become real (they normally do...). I just upped my own level of expectations... of not putting down the obvious but making an effort to explore depth... this makes me feel excited about what will follow... and more truthful.
