Project 52 Update

It's been keeping me busy. I thought at the onset that I might have trouble keeping things going. Then, my friend Steve Morse suggested that we go off every once in a while and do some photography. I jumped at that and it's been a blessing in disguise. I've had some fun with the images I've captured during our treks and they've helped fill out some of these early weeks. I had thought that most of my efforts would revolve around music. I haven't abandoned that but photos have been the main thrust. I think that's because, for me, photos are more immediate and more easily manipulated. I'm not so creative that I can think of a photo in my head and go off and recreate it. I can sort of do that with music. The problem is that, when I get a musical idea, it's harder for me to evolve it into a finished state. For prose and poetry, to the extent that I dabble in those, they fall between photos and music, but are more like photos in how quickly the evolve.

The good news, for me, is that Project 52 gives me a target, a deadline, a commitment to be fulfilled. Even though it's self imposed, I take it seriously enough and it gets done!
