I can't seem to remember

shifts

Today has been spent enjoying the absolutely beautiful sunshine in Tucson! I had a lovely yoga practice this afternoon, along with an epic 7 minute headstand, and am now gathering my thoughts for an up-coming thesis review on Friday (I'm hoping to come up with something a bit more tangible than the ditty I posted a few days ago.) A lot of things are shifting in my life lately... I'm trying to stay balanced and fully open to the changes that are ever present.

making sense in a room full of clocks



Excerpt from my notes/ how to make sense when it's barely a Monday: 
The use of binaural tones is employed to induce a state of wakeful meditation. The 4hrz oscillation  is associated with out-of body experiences; much like one assumes they are walking in a straight line, yet when the blindfold is removed, the subject discovers that really, they walk in circles. The viewer is taken to the location of the subject in the video; their brainstem is activated, and then set to the oscillation of the stimulus in the audio. This functions in a similar response to the way grandfather clocks re-set the ticking  in a room filled with smaller clocks.
These auspicious obstacles are manifest
Within the boundary of the internal

Ghost and the external wanderer

With no pint of reference
No direction but our internal compass

We won’t ever be lost

Circular as the universe

Like the tiny inside
The simplicity of a straight line is due to false reality.
 This is a cautionary tale of that reality

That is to say

Unreal/impostor
 Impostor as within
OR
Impostor as without sight

And then I walked in circles...

Over the weekend, I spent a few days exploring the Phoneix area with a dear friend of mine. My main priority was to shoot around the outskirts of town for a new project, however, during our adventure we managed to hit up a used record shop and a candy store complete with a photobooth device! It was a Saturday of epic proportions.

this isn't helping


With two months until thesis and a lot of things on my plate, my studio is not the intellectual haven it once was... I kinda just looks like my bedroom from high school.

spelunking

 This past Sunday, PixPix, Camden and I went on a lovely hike west of Tucson. While attempting to find the King's Canyon trail we ran into our spirit animals and also found this cave. Interesting things began to align after our brief encounters... Today however, I have successfully broken my glasses, popped a bike tire, cracked the screen of my ipod, and forgot to pack a lunch for the studio. I'm thinking I may go back to this hole and hide in it....
