Such a Square

I know, I know, this project that just won't go away. Well, get used to it, only the beginning, early days my friends. All these pictures were made at my home. I can only see the rest of the world by turning on the TV that I don't really have. Have I mentioned that? I have a TV, yes, but I don't have cable, which in today's world is like saying you have a car but it doesn't have an engine.
Not having cable means you get about four channels, all of which are just horrific, but I do get channel 23, which seems to only broadcast one show. Luckily this show has everything you could ever want in every episode, such as women in bikinis holding signs, a little person in a Spiderman costume, several guys in cowboy hats, and an audience shooting fake cheese at the commentator.
What does any of this have to do with photography? Well, when you only get shows like this, you tend to not watch much television. So, I walk around the house making pictures.
So far, I think I have about 30 pictures in this series.

Photo Project: Homework

Wanderlust.

How many of us photographers are saddled with this burden? The grass is always greener. Passport stamps. Yep, you know what I’m talking about. As my mother says, “Some of us in the family are born with wheels for feet.”
Well, this is all fine and dandy, but for me, there are plenty of times when I have the wanderlust but can’t really do anything about it.
Responsibilities, finances, etc, etc, there are as many reasons not to travel as there are to travel.
So, when you are stuck with this reality you find ways to satisfy your needs. I realized after many years of going wherever I could whenever I could that there was another unknown land right under my nose.
My home.
All these images, and many more like them, were all made in or around my house. These are just the tip of the iceberg and this body of work will continue to grow whenever I find myself “stuck” here.
I’m starting to like being stuck.
