REAWAKENING TO LIFE

Let Go. (Collage, 2007) – Self-explanatory. I love doing spur-of-the-moment collages, as I feel my mood, the strength of the elements, the available pieces, and a train of thought all mesh together to form a composition. Part artistic endeavor, part therapy, and part giving up the drivers seat for chance and experimentation to take control all play together.

Bike race + fast camera + fast lens = 1600 images to sort through. Digital is great (for this purpose).

So I have been following the PSU cycling club around the east coast on the weekends. The past one in Philly was great. Rain on Saturday and high winds on Sunday. Lots of crashes on Saturday in the criterium, which is an aggressive eight city block circuit. If you’re lucky, you might see a few.

I have processed a lot more concerning church since last post, and this website has helped me out immensely. I was like, wow, this is exactly what I am feeling and can highly relate to this. Agh! The great and wonderful news… Life has become so enjoyable and I feel like I am getting back a lot surrendered vision/passion. Even in simply traveling with the cycling team and taking images and riding and going to work and watching Lost with a few friends… all these things have become so enjoyable again. I don’t feel guilty doing them anymore.

God has already paid the price of my guilt, so why live under it? No more rain clouds here and sunny unreachable horizons there.

Okay okay, this is not from DC. Agh – I forgot a card reader, so no up-to-the-minute updates…

BUT I have a few that I will be posting anyway. This is using my LCA with a cheap-o wide angle filter on it backwards. I don’t know how the scientifics of it, but it has a similar effect as a tilt-shift lens or like a peephole. This was the only good one that came out on the whole role.
