Regarding the content of this site

Despite any initial intentions, this blog has become heavily photography-centric, and I find that disappointing. Superficially, the reason may seem obvious: photography is by all observations the hobby I’m most actively pursuing. If the content of this blog is any indication, I’ve all but given up on any musical or poetic endeavors.

Thankfully, that simply isn’t true. While my lyrical and poetic output has slowed from the trickle it was last year to an occasional reverberating drop, my musical work is anything but dead. In fact, I’ve started collecting song ideas and riffs that will hopefully make it onto an EP or full-length album. I’ve been debating even telling anyone about it, as I have a history of working on musical projects—sometimes to the point of completion—and then abruptly abandoning them. While I can’t promise this time will be different, I’m making some changes to my process that will hopefully help avoid that. Right now, there are four or five songs that are coming along nicely, and I hope to write four or five more before I start recording. I have no idea if any of this will actually pan out, but those are the plans.

In the meantime, I’ll try to post a little more music-related content to this site, be it in the form of new recordings of old songs; demos from my last (abandoned) EP The Awakening; or just recommendations for records I really like. I’ll still write plenty of photography-centric posts, but hopefully the additional music-related entries will make the site a tad less one-dimensional.

In any case, those are the plans. All of them are subject to change according to the direction of the winds and the fickleness of my overwrought brain. We shall see.
