For years, I have been trying to figure out how a WRITER uses a visual medium like Instagram to communicate, and today came the big epiphany: write a mini-blog about an image. Ergo today, May 4th (and may it be with you, incidentally), in this first year of Coronavirus (aka 2020), I began appending messages to my photos that are long as all get-out, numbing my typing finger and bemusing my Instagram followers.
The idea of image-related essays is something I have mulled for awhile now, being the form I hope to use for my long-awaited memoirs, whenever THEY get going. For them, incidentally, I have a plan to do ink illustrations, but that’s another story — though as a result of this demi-plan, I have finally set up my studio, this same week. Amazing what long hours of uninterrupted thinking, as well as flexible sleeping hours, can do fo creativity!
