Revisit and refix, try again and again, all while running away. ironic and frustrating

here
post swimming, post book reading (Chuck Klosterman), I ended up at the space needle. While wandering around I ended up hearing Sugar's "Changes" being played over the speakers by the EMP, I was happy about that.

This is how I felt all day and I wasn't happy about it.

New favorite, might trump bridge
Much like the bridge it will take me a while to figure it out. So I don't much like these images, but they are a start.

Riesling influenced sloppy crappy photo
Maybe I can do a whole series of drinking then driving around looking for something to take a photo of, finding something, then doing it very poorly. High concept art!

prickly or not is always up to someone else to decide
There are always different ways to evaluate anything that happens. It seems that so often we all base those opinions on things that have happened in the past instead of what is happening in front of us. I get pissed when it happens to me and yet I do it all the time. How do you base your action on what is happening in the present instead of the past without getting walked all over. Wasn't that the problem with Nick Carraway in Gatsby? He wasn't passing judgments and so he got let down. Where is the balance between judgment and action?

Tuesdays are Innerspace days
I grew up skateboarding, then gave it up when I became an old man and stopped doing anything fun. After some people ( I and L) made me start snowboarding Bret made me start skateboarding. Funny that these things don't make me feel like a kid, but they do give me time to not think about anything, if you think while snowboarding you fall. Once a week I try to roll around. It doesn't work like it did when I was a kid, I still can't do half the stuff I did as a kid, but it's fun, and mostly like most fun things it' a chance to stand around and talk to people that I like. In this case that includes 11 year old Austin. While I was shooting photos of him he kept telling me how to do it better, which was funny, but clearly made me roll my eyes a bit too. I really did forget how to take skateboarding photos. The digital thing is way different, or I just spent more time at it when I was a kid. Or I'm more critical now. Or all the crack I as doing when I was a kid clouded my judgment (sarcasm, I had a crack free youth).
The last photo is by Bret of me a month or so ago.

Gone
These are my favorite shoes the ones I always want to wear, but they are falling apart, so out they go.
I'm not good at letting go of things, and always regret it. It's nothing new.

washing
I think that the washing just moves the dirt around. I always want to be washed clean, but I think it's like the bubble int he carpet, you just move the dirt around.

Over and over and over
I was in lower QA again and had a minute to shoot the bridge again. I'm there again tonight, so maybe tomorrow will be the same thing. The plan is to repeat as necessary until I get one I love.

Donald Hall Poet Laureate!
Go read Donald Hall's Without, it's the most amazing paean to loss and love, and one of the few poetry books I really care about. I feel guilty about that, I should love and embrace poetry but instead it seems less than prose. Instead of being whittled down to it's core it seems more fluffed up and on display, peacock like than simple prose. Carver's short stories are so much cleaner than his poems.

More or Less?
I'm still working on photos of this bridge. I missed the perfect light by abou 15 minutes. it was too dark when I got there.
Sometimes I start thinking about typing more here, spelling more things out, and yet I always back away from it. It seems like sharing too much. The photos expose enough.

Discovery park
See the mountains ins the back, peeking above the clouds? That is a different question than asking if I can see the sun light behind the clouds, because I rarely can.

Not what was there
When I first saw this it was dusk and the window behind the slide was glowing it was amazing. I shot this to remind me to get back to it.
