Heading to Photo LA tomorrow night. What does it mean? The excitement of sharing "Searching for True North." The hope that people will like it. The interest to see all the inspiring art and be part of the event. I must remember to pace myself. Photo LA is just too much. Too much photo. Too much talk. Too much information. The first time we went, we ran away and returned home to process film in the darkroom, convinced that if we stayed one more minute we would never take another photograph, so over loaded with images - - amazing images - - were we. "Why make anything else?" was answered by the smell of fixer and the rhythmic mystery of making something.
Now I feel like a long distance runner. I won't fade. I will go the distance. Giant Avedons and breathtaking Starn twins exhibits and exquisite minature Kertesz's will not overwhelm me. I will breath. Enjoy. Thrive in the company of greatness...
I will celebrate the medium that I love and am so glad to be a part of -- Photography.
