Editorial addendum
Red hot on my mind is ‘content‘.. visual and written. What and how – staged or not – to show? What and how – personal or not – to write?
My eureka moment came when I realized I wanted to share my ‘explorations’ – as a big eye wanderer and record the ‘journey’.
That’s it. Simple. No limits – no constraints – no agenda – no schedule – no performance – no imaginary crowd to please.
I am on the ‘move’ creatively – an artistic explorer of sort – this is who I am – so who I am I – I will share.
