Thank you for this Frances. The craziness of so much water 6 months ago to now so dry, that fires are raging is for me is so indicative of the wild swings of our climate and climate change denial, gaslighting in our collective faces. It’s crazy-making and beyond challenging to consider creative pursuits as something worth doing, no less relevant. Good on you for doing your photography for what my words are worth. I’ve been writing every day for the last 9 months, no matter what and I am struggling to see the relevance, but do it, I must. I appreciate all you do Frances and I appreciate whatever we call this relationship! It’s nice. Paul
I appreciate you, Paul! I think for me photography helps me understand and participate more deeply in relation to the world around me. It’s become something I rely on in order to show up in the world with care and intention-I hope I would still be caring without photography, but having my creative practices definitely help me be a better person to the world around me! I’m so glad that you’ve continued to write, and am always glad to see you virtually!!
Frances - - Thank you for the shout-out! I love your honest sharing of your photographic work and your life as well as how you integrate the details of the projects you are working on. The Appalachian exhibition looks amazing. Congratulations! And I am really excited to see where the next call leads us. It seems strange for there to be a fire just six months after the flooding. The elements are everywhere and active. It seems having a 'go-bag' is a way of life now. Crazy, when feeling settled is so much better for us.
Of course, Lyn! It has been so great getting to know you more and collaborate on the call! Thank you! The Turchin has been fantastic to work with. Absolutely, it feels a little bit like whiplash. Luckily today has brought us some much needed rain, though I hope it keeps coming down as we could certainly use more!
