The pandemic squashed my desire to explore off the farm, so I rarely leave the property. I literally don't want to encounter other people anymore. (I could quote Laurie Anderson when she talks about life looking better on TV cause it "tones it down")
And so I am stuck. Physically, creatively, emotionally. Stuck. But my urge to isolate rules above all. Surely this is depression??
So I photograph the same things again and again, just to be "doing/making". I've photographed this tree every year for 7 years. Surely it has nothing left to offer?? I polish this same pebble and tell myself it's going to be better every time - but it's not - it's just repetitive. I wasn't even going to publish this. Oh well, wtf.
Zeiss Super Ikonta with Kodak Tri-X, rated at 125 with a medium yellow filter. Film processed in Thornton 2-bath.
