while i hesitate to post a photo of myself on this blog, i cannot help but acknowledge this critical moment. nearly two years of tenacious individual study has led up to this…this breakthrough of a sort. i feel like i have taken hold of something whole-in-itself, finally, finally, finally. although directly inspired by ms. lux, my mind is already fashioning something quite separate from the aforementioned.

the medium of photography has become, for me, whole–no longer a cheap scattered stab at art by merit of its universal commodification by the masses. it is altogether different now. it has become perfection, perhaps. perhaps. it has become that which i can call my own. i can thus proceed to thrust myself entirely into this state of the in-between–a nonplace between the imaginary and the real, between dreams and wakefulness.
