Instagram Daily Mail

The addictive, pavlovian, Instagrammatic deus ex machina app lurking in my G4 phone has vacuumed my attention & time away from this primary blog.
Currently under the influences of Alex & Rebecca Webb. Friends keep telling me my images remind them of my old poems…its all one’s mind’s eye witnessing isnt it?. All one-mind’s eye..?Lately updates look like (in print a tiny tin type size magazine of images screaming for eye contact):

Cleaning up my phonography files. Square format Instagram edits- filter paintings would be a good description for these digitally mediated images. Thinking about creating a squarebook to see what language suggests itself as a narrative. Slicing light and putting it to paper now has an entirely different measure of process than in did carried out in darkrooms. And using a phone for capture…facility and facile have the same root. I find myself constantly measuring the weight of my intentions and quality of my focus (not just the lens’) as the fluidity & diversity of digital photographic media makes the significance of all images slippery. And the quantity immense. Thousands of instant images. Transitory. Unrooted, non local, a-historical, protean. Meaning runs off the surface, deliquescent, Daliesque.
