Bright Eyes - First Day Of My Life
Yours is the first face that I saw
I think I was blind before I met you
Now I don’t know where I am
I don’t know where I’ve been
But I know where I want to go
And so I thought I’d let you know
That these things take forever
I especially am slow
But I realize that I need you
And I wondered if I could come home
When our great aunt died I inherited her desk, in one of the drawers there was a number of notebooks, each one crammed with recipes, hints and tips and cuttings from magazines. I have since copied out lots of them and made a booklet called 'Aunty Addie Says'.
Each day, I get a little better. I cough a little less and I feel less sore. I can feel my body healing and I'm managing to ween myself off of medication. It's difficult to go outside so I'm staying indoors and resting.
This morning, I laid in bed and read Paul Auster's The Red Notebook. I love Paul Auster and this was the perfect book for my friend Herb in NYC to send me a few weeks ago. It's full of stories of life's coincidences that happen between New York and Paris. In each life, there are so many things that add up which can't really be summed up...things that seem so random and things that make us who we are. I really enjoyed reading about Auster's life experiences.
I wish I could photograph him.
My large-format notebook, and a new piece of inspiration.
The coloured tapes (artist's masking tape) are from my film-holders; 'exif data' written on in pen at time of exposure, colour-coded according to film stock (orange for Ektar, Grey for ∆100, Green for Velvia 50) and replacing rubber bands as extra safety measure. Notes in book on side indicate when processed and whether a technical success.
Image is of course 'The Great Piece of Turf', an extraordinary Northern Renaissance watercolour by Albrecht Dürer. Gave me an idea for a 5x4 nature project, possibly using Provia 100F or Kodak Portra (Velvia too saturated for this, but think I'd still prefer slide)) - a possible plan for some local Oxfordshire nature reserves. Will almost certainly need to rig up some kind of light box, but shooting with natural light only and no macro photography flash tricks might be a challenge.
A new, smaller journal. I hand-bound it myself and added the tabs for a little bit of fun. They're more like placeholders, so I can get to where I'm working easier.
In November of 1993, my work was getting ahead of me and so I decided for the first time to record everything in notebooks (before that I used Day-timers). In the UK they had these nicely bound blank books call Black n' Red, and I bought the A5 size (210 x 148 mm), which is a very handy form factor to take with you everywhere. Since then, I have continued to use bound books of one design or another for taking and keeping notes.
I write everything in my notebooks, meeting notes, phone numbers, to-do lists, part dimensions, phone messages, addresses, etc. Everything that might ordinarily get scribbled on a piece of scrap paper goes into the notebook instead. That way you never lose anything you wrote down, it's always available (though it often takes a fair bit of digging around to find it).
I used A5 Black n' Red and OSTAline notebooks until I moved back to the US, where they were no longer available. Then in June 1996, while I was working at Cisco Systems, I started using cardboard composition books.
After I left Cisco in 1999 I used a couple of A4 sized blank books (not shown), but then by September 2001 I had procured another Black n' Red book and used it until August 2005 (the time I was taking in getting my current company started). After going through a couple of no-name A5 blank books I found in France in 2003, I was finally able to source a handful of Black n' Red books here in the US, through an internet supplier. Google tells me they are now widely distributed in the US.
Shots of my planner for my blog and all crafty things for this year! part of an old notebook I am determined to fill up this year.
January 24th - Saturday. Second day of strategy residential. It was a very good meeting although I was pretty exhausted afterwards.
Not too tired though to celebrate Burns Night. I had haggis and drank scotch and attempted to read some Burns and toast the haggis. Not everyone joined in!
Reasons to be cheerful
1. My first whisky session in at least 9 months. Nice.
2. Haggis.
3. Successful 2 day meeting.
