personal meditations in older photographs

what one may find for comparison between work now (san francisco era) vs. last year (western massachusetts era) is a different kind of concentration. there is a quality of light that i was able to achieve that i have not found in recent photographs. then again, a lot of my attention has been dragged away by day-to-day living. if i recall life before now, it felt like i was living in bursts and i think that was illustrative in my work.

on the contact sheets, in between the images that i felt were significant at the time, i have sweet fillers/sweet memories. i've put them away all on external hard drive. but together, i think they compose a sense of personal meditation. yes, it is personal and for that very reason it is a different kind of speaking that is unfamiliar and uncomfortable to share.
