Sometimes several pieces of the puzzle are put together completely randomly. I have long been dissatisfied with my work. I find it completely uninteresting and does not give me or anyone else any pleasure. For the last few days, I've been thinking about what's wrong. And so yesterday I watched a program about Sten Broman. I'd seen it before, but it's never really stuck. But Stone said something that was important to me. "A true artist must always move forward." or something like that.

When I went into the studio this morning, I decided to look through a small dirty pile of slides that I had actually intended to throw away. When I did, the pieces fell into place. These are the most interesting pictures I've seen all year. I don't know when they are taken or where but they have a quality that I really like.

I really think it's time to move forward. Out over the cliff and take that jump that I'm so afraid of.
