Welcome to my studio blog.
I don’t mind that blogging is already out of style, because my thoughts about it are rooted in an even greater antiquity: the ship’s log, essential data recorded for the operation of a vessel during its journey. Course, speed, location, et cetera. Actual wind.
Predating that was the chip log, a simple device used just to record a ship’s speed through the water. Basically a rope with knots at regular intervals attached to a log that was thrown out into the water.
I like things that are old, weathered, that have their own stories. Things that are rooted in time but seem timeless. I believe the past is not the past but it is alive within us (and within things). I look for the long arc.
The purpose of this log, therefore, is to be a record of journey. A notation of wind speed, points of interest, location beneath a field of stars…without being long-winded.
I expect that within the small details we’ll happen upon things that are thought-provoking, or at least entertaining.
