reworking. rethinking. editing. subtracting. adding.
exposing myself to new thoughts and ideas.

i'm taking my time in austin to think about my photography, to begin reading through books that i've own for years and have never picked up, watching foreign films (and countering the required brainwork to do so by watching the OC and heroes), experimenting with writing, and reshaping my creative voices.

in terms of my site, i've taken notes down on photographs i need to remove and selecting new photographs i wanted to add. in reworking the format of the site i'm toying with this following format:

PORTFOLIO - i'm thinking that maybe i should limit myself to a maximum of 15-20 photographs per section (perhaps compiling similar works into a single image), rework the caption and titling of photographs to contextualize things better) and update it with newer photography.
