I am lucky enough not to be able to have much or, usually, no control over my imagination. This labels me as a forgetful, distracted, preoccupied, inattentive, vague, absorbed, abstracted, unheeding, oblivious, distrait, lost in thought, pensive, scatterbrained, miles away, an absent-minded boffin and as a head in the cloud type of individual.
But.
There is a silver lining.
Combine this with me not actually seeing very well (see the glasses), and having a heavily visually orientated mind.
The result is that I live in a world of wanders. My daily routine is surrounded by snippets of utter beauty and horror. Imagine being able to live, from time to time, into an impressionist surreal painting. A moving impressionist surreal painting.
Mad. Both me and idea, I admit.
So, I have decided to try to duplicate some of those moments on camera. I am a photographer, by the end of the day.
This is how Out And About #1 came to be. The project spans over 2 years, and is, or will be, to be more precise, part of a series, out every two years.
