i voted for the first time//there is a field

Ivoted for the first time in a presidential election this week, and I went through the wrong door. 

You, too, may feel like something about Tuesday went wrong – or that the polls spelled something wonderfully, wonderfully right. But please join me in this moment of being uncertain. Please join creation in creating, poetry in reflecting, life in living with others. If you voted, you made a choice. You must keep proving to yourself why you made that choice.

a project i didn't complete//make it ironic because of that//bend

This past summer, I quickly became enthralled by an idea for a photo project. Although I can honestly say I usually follow through on my ideas, this one didn't quite make it; I had hoped for it to be a collaborative project, with different people contributing their photos. At this point, there exist only twenty-five photos, all from me.

that can change.

the Project: "One Pose", where each collaborator chooses one yoga asana,


practices the asana every day and,
at some point during the pose,
takes a picture of his/her/their view. The picture-taking part necessitates safety and control; don't choose an asana like the first one I chose, chakrasana, or wheel pose:

thanks Jung, but don't get all psychotherapy on me when I'm just tryna to do a backbend.

you can imagine it would be difficult to take a photo while maintaining a backbend. The first photo in this series is me attempting to do that. 

I changed my "One" very quickly:

My "One" Asana:Padangusthasana (Big Toe Pose) (Google it)
Days: 24 (+1 in Chakrasana) 





Maybe we can continue this project. Interested?

Rochester Fringe//color schemes are found in nature

Rochester Fringe Festival was the goal, and we got caught up in typing. Well, yesterday, we did both.

A few friends and I drove to Rochester to support our college's super-secretive extra-extraordinary Guerrilla Poets. They call themselves guerrillas because they constant disseminate poetry throughout campus. Check the library bathroom; deepen your mind as you do your business.

Guerrilla's exhibit consisted of poetry, as always, and everywhere: as magnets attached to boards painted with magnetic paint and inviting you to manipulate them; as lines chalked on pavement and encouraging you to write each word then step back and read it all at once; and as pages on tables, offering a good read as you sit.

Here's the Guerrilla event page, and a few photos:





Okay, supportive post, we love Guerrilla at Geneseo. Without further adieu, get caught up in this typewriter. Filming him type was majestic. And look at how beautifully the colors complement one another! Color schemes just happen, I tell you:
