My Blog from this point is intended to be of reflection, while combining new directions with Fotographs from the same period last year I intend to build a retrospective diary account of the year; this should theoretically provide an apportunity to both revisit and rephotograph with an ongoing and continual photographic evoloutionary depiction.
the Wier - Dec 2007
In addition, it will provide that, while keeping a watchful eye on the progression both of self and of my working practice, my working practice being of course my career progression and not my creativity, my art is not work, it is my vacation from life. It is said that an artist is never ahead of his time it is only the people around him who are behind the times, I dont know where I heard that or even if it accurate, it matters not, progression must take place and, while there exists no manual for any individual artists life one can only work similarly to the previous year.
Within an artists personal belongings there must a record of bodies of work, for me, the evidence is maintained in my sketchbooks diaries and photograph albums should anyone wish to view the personal working of my artistic mind, viz a viz my sketchbooks, please do not hesitate to contact me for details of where and how to access, my door is, as they say, always open, I would however prefer to add, at my convenience, it is the only way I can control and maintain my solitude, my space, my work, it is the only way I can remain in that special little place where I go when I am creating, so I apologise in advance for the delay in getting back to you.
I have waffled enough so in keeping with the old (THE WIER)and the new theme of my BLOG I leave this Mantra from the Dalai Lama as a little bit of new in my life, announced with the description;
Just a short Buddhist outlook on life.
1. Take into account that great love and great achievements involve great risk.
2. When you lose, don't lose the lesson.
3. Follow the three R's: Respect for self Respect for others and Responsibility for all your actions.
4. Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.
5. Learn the rules so you know how to break them properly.
6. Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship.
7. When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.
8. Spend some time alone every day.
9. Open your arms to change, but don't let go of your values.
10. Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.
11. Live a good, honorable life. Then when you get older and think back, you'll be able to enjoy it a second time.
12. A loving atmosphere in your home is the foundation for your life.
13. In disagreements with loved ones, deal only with the current situation. Don't bring up the past.
14. Share your knowledge. It's a way to achieve immortality.
15. Be gentle with the earth.
16. Once a year, go someplace you've never been before.
17. Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other.
18. Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it.
19. Approach love and cooking with reckless abandon.
I also know that dreams really do come true and you have my Best Wishes and my best efforts in those.
