I wiped my computer thursday night and installed mountain lion. Man, there was something wrong with my last install. Probably something I downloaded; for a while there, I was using a lot of semi-sketchy software. Who knows. There’s not really a theme to these photos, other than the fact that they were next to each other chronologically, and vaguely performance related. More when there’s more to tell.
But I’m sure you know what the working title of this post was.
This is one of the different veins I’m exploring: how we move around, how we get places, the shapes and structures and devices that enable it. This is one of those sets of work that needs to be made 60 inches wide, needs to be seen writ large. It may end up that way, or I may never get anything else done on it ever. I say ‘exploring’ but really, I’m just taking pictures of things without much conscious discretion, letting my subconscious guide the work. A photographic version of automatic drawing, if you will.
So, just after we got back to the US, I got on another plane to go to Denver for RubyConf. It was actually a really good conf, where I learned some interesting stuff (as opposed to many of the other confs I’ve been at, where I did the hallway track the whole time). Denver herself is a beautiful city, great sunrises, good walking, if a little cold after the Mediterranean.

I have more pictures than words, sorry if these get a bit terse. It’s a bit harder to connect the dots when themes are spread out over the months; I’m thinking I might start working on another book soon, though. Working title: ‘Matt Mills turns over a new leaf (photographically).’
