A decade ago, most of my photography focused on overgrown abandonments. Today, there's less emptiness and more survivalists on vacation. It's the same drive really. A decade ago, a camera was helping me consider how we *would* deal with major climate and economic change in my corner of the world. And as it happens around us, I am slowly starting to document how people *are* dealing with it, and continuing to look forward.

The mid-apocalyptic focus is also why I gravitate to the film processes that I do. There is a future where they'll last longer than an inkjet printer or affordable electricity, and I'm not sure we're not heading for it.

This is partially to say hopefully I'll have (at least the digital, not the Holga) pictures I owe performers at Spoutwood (organic CSA) farm's May Day Fairy Festival up soon. Also crap I think I accidentally found the beginnings of an artist statement. This is partially to angiereedgarner's credit for asking about what art buyers want to see in a bio (not statement) and making me think. So there's that.

anachronism, navel-gazing
