I'm a hapless Gen-X fuck all. I'm
grateful for both my identity and my world view which are both
colored by, partly anyway, my generation. I believe there should be
nothing but art. I believe that the pursuit of art is the only
worthwhile endeavor a person should have. Art. Not money, not jobs,
not god, not government, nothing, just art.
All that said, I think this SoFoBoMo
program was a great thing for me to do. First, I got to think about a
project as a whole, theme, tools, product. I got to learn flickr.com,
Open Office Draw and that in itself was worth the whole process.
I also think that I was completely
unencumbered because of my lack of experience and my lack of
education when it comes to photography and the whole process of
putting a book together. I feel like this lack of experience made me
more fearless. Sometimes it's the fearlessness that is so meaningful.
Once we get more education and more experience, we become more afraid
of making mistakes.
Even now, many weeks after finishing
the project, I am still pleased with my results. If nothing more, the
book is a tangible piece of my labor. Evidence of my work.
