SLC to JFK
Planes are good. I've said it before, I'll say it again. I get more done on a single 4 hour flight than I do in days of terrestrial effort. I made an iPhoto slideshow video, designed a poster, and played with a few full-frame mundane images (right) from Salt Lake City. I even got some reading done during the no-electronics time.
This first image of the painted wall is the place from which half the November 6th diptych comes.
I should say I feel like I've come out of my photographic funk. I don't know exactly what it was but I just felt good making those detailed images in the gym the past few days. It was something I had in my head and I was able to make shots that met or exceeded my expectations. That's a good feeling.
The timing is good too. I've got a few jobs lined up in the next ten days and then I'm off to India. Work is always good to offset some costs and India is supposed to be a photographer's dream.
My muse was also helped by the view from my hotel room. It was so spectacularly mundane. Every time I opened my curtain I had the pleasure of looking out at a wall, smoke stacks and mountains. It doesn't show up in the photos but there were also all kinds of cool sounds coming from the other side of that wall. Whistles, voices over loudspeakers, all kinds of strange stuff. I need more of that in my life. The view out my New York apartment window is certainly dull but it's not photogenic.
That's what's up in no particular order.
Take pictures.
