This Side Of The Blue

Holga 120N. Kodak Portra 160VC. 5 seconds exposure on bulb setting.

 

One week later, I'm appalled at how little progress I've made on the book. I am, as Joanna Newsom says, progressing abominably. I'm hanging in there.... but it's so hard. Why is non-work so much nicer than work?

 

 

"Svetlana sucks lemons across from me

And I am progressing abominably

And I do not know my own way to the sea

But the saltiest sea knows its own way to me.

 

And the city that turns, turns protracted and slow

And I find myself toeing the embarcadero

And I find myself knowing the things that I knew

Which is all you can know on this side of the blue...."

 

- Joanna Newsom
