A Quick Note on the Shaver Project
Posted: February 10th, 2010 | Author: thomas | Filed under: small opinions | 2 Comments »Don’t expect these tiny stories to be any good, not for a while. Instead of writing a collection and editing out the weeds, I’m interested in linear publication of a thought connected to someone else’s (Sage’s) image.
And re. that. Sage isn’t sold on the idea. It seemed interesting at first, but essentially this project asks her to take the same photograph at the same time every day, with the idea that some small and potentially revealing details will change both in the short- and long-terms. I’m looking for those tiny changes and trying to build a personality around the act of noticing. For Sage, though, one wonders where the relevance lies. Perhaps nowhere. Perhaps this project will die very soon. Who knows.
No, don’t let it die, let it breath. It’s a great idea. If it’s too constricting, air it out a little. Perhaps Sage’s photo should be within 100 yards of your apartment, or taken from the apartment but in any direction.
You’re killing me, Smalls! Give me some words!
