What a strange vintage we are. Constantly needing to photograph each thing, each moment. What other species demands to self archive everything? The same information, experiences, places visually captured over and over again. What do we expect to learn from it; from taking a picture of it all? No Coining - All Rights Reserved

Technical Limitations

Subtraction. Since leaving America nearly 10 years ago, the things controlling me have been reduced nearly down to what can be contained within my pockets. 

I still have piles of physical stuff both here and at home, but its value continues to outstrip its cost. While it has taken a decade. My identity is now intimately tied to only about what can be contained in a large suitcase; the rest continues to occupy my life merely as a commodity.

However tonight it became clear though while I wish to reduce my possessions further, the time has come to purchase a proper camera. For while my phone can do a lot, its camera leaves a great deal to be desired.  

2/2/2016- hindsight being 20/20 to hell with a better camera.
