Small world day

I was sitting in class and it was near the end. "All My Life" gets it's introduction and he mentions the light of Northern California. Sweet. I loved living there, so I am super curious. I am imagining all of the places it might have been filmed. As the film rolls out, the scene is so familiar, the climbing roses, the redwood fences. Personal note to Mr. Bogner, should you read this, it's not just the film stock, it really does look like that there. Such a wonderfully simple piece and it captures the memory of those colors in a way that connects with my own. I am certain I lived within 100 yards of where that was filmed. Strange. It was so funny to see "filmed in Caspar" at the end.

This idea of daily practice, that is a staple here it seems, is seductive to be certain. I certainly have enjoyed the times in my life where making is a part of my everyday. I don't necessarily have documents of it. Being offered a reason to do it doesn't much change the way I have been doing things either. I make things. I always have. I think the difference here is how much I make them public.

I could've done without "Data Diaries" today, which I must admit was a little different for me. I usually find something I like in just about the whole program. It just seemed like it didn't belong, like a parody almost of the rest of the work we see. Anti-performance I think is what that was. Thank you for stopping it. It wasn't even a little ru-ru. In a way, I think the video I made for this blog has a little bit of that to it.

Well, as I look back here, it seems the difference that this challenge makes to me is to change my tone a bit. It also seems from the email I just received that I have once again given myself more work than necessary. Which is fine. I will be more conservative for a while.
