i ordered some pocket sized books containing the images i have been making the last 6 months

many of which i posted on the blog. there are 50 images included. it turned out great and everyone loved it! 

here is the intro of sorts that is printed on the first page:

Landscape Without

There is a drain without water

There is a room without a man

There is a shallow dirty puddle

And a pile of soggy wood

I found myself reaching out 

Empty spaces to dwell in for a moment

Abandoned objects, feigning replacements

I found myself immobilized 

Remaining without

one of latest post on ASX was a brief and enjoyable read, of course its easy to write on most every post. The post brings up and interesting concept involving Katsumi Watanabe. Watanabe is quoted "I decided to devoted my life to being "the drifting photographer of Shinjuku."" The idea presented here: devoting your photographic life to a specific area, being its record keeper, its voluntary documentarian, being a "drifting," undetected presence in a place in time. And perhaps its is only 30, 50, 100 years later that your work is significant. Devoting your life to being a photographic time capsule.
