Living in Minnesota for the last three years has been a period of intense upheaval sprinkled with moments of lucid stability. This morning was one of those moments. I decided to go for a walk, before the blizzard sets in and take some photographs of this place that I actually have started calling home. 

Did I end up here by choice? Is this as good as it gets? Can this locality actually be MY locality? And, if so, how? How am I to inhabit this place? Materially? (Through owning property, things, images?) Socially? (Through interaction with other inhabitants.) Spiritually? (Through ritual, religion, beliefs of this place).

Or is there a course of action that will take me away from here and somehow make me a better person? Is that other person the one I should be striving to be? 

Good questions for an afternoon of being stuck in my house.

In keeping with the “EMO, I reveal too much” facade I’ve had going for quite some time, I thought I’d post one of my daily images. So, basically: I try to summarize each of my days with a photograph/text/drawing… something to make it seem like I’m still an artist and not an “artist type”. They’re always lo-fi and harking back to my days as a printmaker.

(although a good halftone still turns me on)

Here’s today:
