Can't Fix It
This blog is like a sketchbook of sorts, with jots of related thoughts and images. Nevertheless, the word, "sketchbook," recalls for me a lack of focus with so many in the past left unfinished. Perhpas the novelty of this online variation will keep me engaged.
The use of the cell phone camera is rewarding for me. It is an awkward device. It is hard to "frame" the picture, square things up and keep my hand steady. There are artifacts of these difficulties in the images. When I view many of these on my computer screen, I want to fix them. Rotate the image to square it up to the frame, or crop out sections. This uneasyness/ obsessiveness leads to unnecessary scrutiny, and in the past, the loss of the image itself.
