5 Things I Heard Last Night...

1. The portraits and the fragment photographs may be/are reading as related, as the same time or place, or tied in some other way. There is a natural inclination to associate and to try to create context and narrative.
2. The optical style of the portrait photographs does not go unnoticed and needs some kind of explanation. Am I trying to create a portrait that makes the camera's presence so known?
3. Information is someone playing a guitar. Their fingers come over the strings and the sings send reverberations into the air and back into the fingers and then the body. Information is the thing you let your eyes go over to reverberate you.
4. Should there be a shift from information to sensation?
   
5. I need to address the portrait work and if it is more than an emulation of Avedon, and if it is something unique to me and my artistic vision and what I'm trying to achieve. I then need to consider how, if and should those issues tie into the already resolved issues of the non-portrait works.
