i had a packet of salsa tell me it collected straws:

[autumnsunset]

the most important thing i have failed to collect is connections with people. something my grandmother told me was important. and something i should have done instinctively over all the places i have rendered myself in.
instead i acqured the following progressive collectives:

negatives of film
thoughts: logged in digital form
music: loops - sounds
vitamins
old cameras
traces: art to which i have contributed: as fuel for this fire.
tools: software and art supplies
