WHICH ONE WOULD YOU CHOOSE?
John Lee Hooker
CROSSROADS 15/10/2009/00:57 hrs.
WWOZ on the sound track and another night of being unable to sleep. Have an appointment with Dr. Feng at 11:30 this morning. I'm making a list of my ailments and symptoms and will hopefully, find out why I have this lack of energy and re-accuring chest pains and excessive gas at both ends. Coupled with chronic constipation and a constant low grade stomach ache and the feeling like I just have to have a dump, I know, too much information, but that's the way it is.
The fall has set in and I'm about half way through scanning my negs in preparation for the planned show and book publication. I haven't started on the text yet but have some reservations there in that, although in the main I liked most of the artists that I photographed there were some that I either actively disliked or would rather not have dealt with. I guess if you can't say something nice then say nothing at all would be the ticket but sometimes an artists nastiness is part and parcel of their appeal. Somehow though, it seems like telling tales out of school, especially if the artist is no longer with us.
I'm having another period of time when it seems I have to come up with some new plan as August my month of changes dealt me a rather tough hand with my Anna May passing on and the fact that I will soon have to cross that river myself. I have things I must complete and am unsure if I have the determination or the resources to get them completed.
I have made the the inevitable coffee so there goes any hope of sleep at least in the short term. Back to the light table and selecting negs to be scanned and searching the negative sheets for more images. Damn, sometimes I wish I didn't always overshoot with sometimes only a minute difference between shots. It sure makes it hard to choose one over the other. Of course that makes up for all the shots I missed while reloading film,
ha ha.
