process

The Blogger, photographed by Mike
tomorrow morning, i'm going to work on a new post.
it promises to be way too long,
so you can look forward to that.

there seem to be
two general ways
i create a post.

around the house & yard,
i am usually inspired
visually,
and i take photographs
with no particular theme in mind.
just things in my environment
that are pleasing to me.
the story,
if there is one,
comes later.

then there are the times
that are story-driven.
i know, generally, what i will
photograph,
the stepping stones
that will lead me to the end.
then i, later, re-order them
to get what i feel is the best
flow
for telling the story.

with both, i find
that my photographs
drive me & show me
what to say.

the.end.
