IMAGES (China)

here are some b/w's from china.

(there's a few more that i didn't post here on flickr)




click on the image for large




flickr is doing some changes to their site, and now you can preview how the new site will look like. the plus of this change is when looking at a picture, you can click on it and "zoom" for a black background. this way there is not as much noise surrounding the picture. they are pretty much doing this because of all the third party sites of flickr that allow you to view images a lot better. examples: fludir, flickriver, ihardlyknewher etc.


i have more fotos from china to show you. and i stil haven't developed film from the new york trip!!!! i also gotta find a place in new york soon. gotta capture footage. gotta try and film another short film!!! so much going on, i'm screwed.

LOCAL UPDATE 6/29

as you can see i have expanded the width of the column. now it would be a teeeeeeny bit better to preview the fotos i put on here.


i'll also go back expand previous images.

WRITINGS

like a bad actor

I'm having a hard time walking the lines between observer and participant.

I've gone on trips with friends lately also, having friends visiting me to skate. with all the different people I'm around, I have a constant stream of awareness as I watch my friends do their thing. like a third eye, i see out-of-body, observing their mannerisms, style, speech, ticks and tocks. Yet I end up forgetting that I am a friend, one of them, a participant to their shenanigans, having moments of fun and enjoyment, realizing the feelings of being with people you like. I would however, sometimes accept moments of freedom. Freedom from awareness and consciousness. but like a bad actor, these moments are sparse and never consistent/constant within the "hour and a half", like a play.
My trouble is...
I can't get a(my) grip on the line that tickles both my inhibited, thoughtful actions and my uninhibited, "natural" actions. I find myself nauseated (like Antoine Roquentin from Nausea; a book i should finish) and sustaining my consciousness, or HYPER-consciousness (which in turn leading to judgment). My friend Nikita has told me that Antoine Roquentin ends up learning that this overly strenuous thought, this HYPER-consciousness, destroys a human's natural joys of life.
Unhealty.
With my interest in writing, I end up requiring awareness of the people around me. to take conscious notes of human actions and intentions. But with my interest in acting, I end up hating the fact that i am unable to participate with these interactions a majority of the time. And as a lover of life, I can't quite feel the joys of life if I am not a participant to these interactions.
(But boy, when the moments of freedom hit me, they sure are nuggets of gold.)

Having this HYPER-consciousness ends up holding back my "natural" actions. I end up containing these actions, feelings, in hopes for safety. I almost freeze, staying still, body tense ( which happens to me multiple times). But, we all know safety is boring.

I dont want to miss the possiblities in situations, in interactions and in sharing with others. 
Being too self-contained wont work.

LOCAL UPDATE 6/25

i have a yearning for writing again. i haven't done so in such a long time. it makes me seem like i'm not moving forward by passing the chances not writing on the days i should. its kinda like having a photo album with no photos to fill.

i miss you
