time flies

the time is zipping by... and i'll be back in Louisiana in 9 days. we did the cd in the first days i was here; then listened and mixed and edited for several days before Michael went back to the states. now my gigs have begun, but will soon be over. as always just when the time comes to leave [wherever i am] i want to begin a lot of projects...

i found some collages i had begun a year ago, and left- as well as some 'sample' music projects i'd begun and left... as well as having brought cameras with me to make photos [and i have only been shooting snapshots with the digital cameras]... i found some great lenses in several brocante... but i have NOT been making any real photos. the plan is to go out and shoot some today when i get up...but it's 4.30AM and i have been burning dvds from the sessions, making clips, as well as from the MIA show... all night... so... i fear i wont be getting up early. but then, the magic hour for shooting is never "en plein jour" [in broad daylight] ... i missed an opportunity today as it was very cloudy, which could have made for some dramatic shots... but got lost in digital media land. voila!

i have a few days off to play around- have been interested in doing some transfers, ala' rauschenberg... but then, i'd do better to do that at home when i have more time. right now, the focus is on the music... and photographs, of course...
