How do we choose to live our art? June 16, 2009
It’s easier to say we love art, than it is to create art. I have a fabulous camera, and live in a city that is dripping with photo opportunities. I mean it – I walk to work, I run in the morning, I see such pictures that postcards are made of… what’s the problem? I see them when I am oriented on another goal. I take the snapshot in my mind. No end result.
I just got the book, “Ignore Everybody” by Hugh MacLeod. Halfway through. He’s already ribbed me for everything I am doing. Put in the time. Don’t worry if it doesn’t seem like the “next big thing”, do your art. I have a week off work right now, but I am spending it with family visiting in town. I’ve noticed how easy it is to “go with the flow” by default rather than planning and giving yourself the best opportunities. Is it an excuse? No one reads this blog. I am writing this as a self accountability thing. What can I do with this week?
