new visions created by going east, old man...
just want to spout a few comments and ideas about what is going on now. no new breakthroughs about life's purpose or dreams for the future, but i am feeling refreshed here in the Chicago area. the excitement i felt last year and the year before has diminished, as now, i feel more established here, more like a regular. although i still raised eyebrows yesterday because of the shirt i was wearing. got into a discussion about death metal with a christian lady as a result.
today i am going to a cemetery i have not visited before to photograph a model i have not met before. she is very familiar with this cemetery (Mount Carmel Cemetery in Hillside) and is a very striking redhead. i am quite excited as she is my primary model for this tour. i almost thought i lost her too as communication started to break down over the past month. the one other model i had scheduled for this visit DID flake out on me. still waiting for some sort of explanation from her.
anyway, i feel more rooted in this project now, than i did a month ago. when autumn comes i feel an automatic drawing inwards towards wanting to work on my novel, again. yet this year my imagery, and the excitement it stirs in potential models is heightening in power. i have at least a dozen models in negotiations for shoots over the next 2-3 months. as long as my physical strength stays strong i will just plow forward with the work.
come November i feel that i will use the month to finish the editing of last year's nanowrimo novel and finally get that mother sent off to blurb to be published. there is not that much more work to do with it, if i will just sit down and do a little bit every day.
ok, thats all for now. watch for more on my brightkite and posterous accounts as i document things throughout the day.
