A Founding Post

Many times since the outset of this school year friends have asked me to establish a flickr account, or a tumblr, or to maintain a regularly updated website; until now, I resisted. Today I inaugurate this blog as a place to post my visual and textual trains-of-thought. It will be a space for me to react to photography, imaging, video, writing, music—whether my own or created by other artists.


I must be honest: at one time I would have argued that there are few things more vain than the construction of self-importance through a blog. By this I mean to suggest that a blogger may fail to recognize his own triviality; his limited audience, expounding with tedious self-obsession. At this time, I expect little or no readership and perhaps this experiment will only reveal my own vanity.


Semi-regular updates should provide a sense of my own works-in-progress or of items that I feel deserve additional attention.
