This is a random activity

For me, this blog is about finding an opportunity to be inspired. It is really a blind search. What is it that interests me? What might I find visually appealing?

This is a random activity.

This activity can take place when browsing a magazine, looking at the ads or examining a layout. It also takes place when I find myself discovering some new computer application, or a new feature in an application I have already been using.

This activity takes place when I "mess around" with the camera in my cell phone--sometimes casual or accidental shots. Other times something that "catches" my eye.

This blog is about finding a way to immerse myself in a new creative process and a new medium. The medium is the blog. It is a journal.

The blog presents a rather structured format--the organization of experience via specific dates. It is chronological. The essential experience for the viewer/reader is sequential. Secondarily, there are also opportunities for hypertext "jumps" among the archives.

I have worried that some of the posting I consider pivotal will be lost in days gone by. For example the image of "Image Not Available" and even this very post. I will work to create a listing of pivotal postings to address this problem.

Today, I am excited by this activity. I feel inspired. (This may be rare for me.) Can I say that it is like learning to paint for the first time? What is the medium? What will this brush do? Loving the smell of linseed oil.

I think that accepting the exploratory nature of my engagement with this blog will reveal overtime the CONTENT behind the activity.
