Nervous thinking
Back in June 2003, I started what I thought was going to be a small, simple digital storytelling project. That project branched off into a photographic adventure that has left me changed for the better. However as with all circles you eventually come back. In this case I was renewed by the release of Flickr video which allowed me to create with a fixed 90 second framework and publish to a community of people who were familiar with my body of work, some for almost all five years.
Slowly I have become focused on ths "new" thing. It has re-invigorated my photo-image making but had subtly allowed me to re-define myself as a "recording artist": images, video and spoken word. This is the longest of the pieces I have produced.
The text was adapted from a forum posting on Craig's List, I recorded and mixed the voice over and the sound track. I wanted to use as few images as possible within the video with movement and frame transitions adding duration and ambiguity. I am still in the craft stage. No technique comes without repetition and so this is still early days.
