From start to 2/3rds finished, the World Tour photographs are piling up and the song ideas are a' churning...
The state of my World Tour is well, what is has been from the get-go, its a works in progress. Originally planned for April, it began in July. I thought I would be finished with the Louisiana portion by October, instead I'll probably finish in December/January.
All along the way I've been asked what I was going to do with it, what was my end result. The only definitive answer I could give is that being in the midst of the journey, I wasn't, am still not, sure of what the final outcome will be. But I knew along the way I'd chronicle my interchangeably international journey in a music/photo performance piece, a la
Nattie at the DMV.
In keeping with that spirit, I will be presenting a short performance of the tour complete with ditties that are somewhat witty, and photography that is relatively sharp.. If you are in the New Orleans area next Wednesday, December 7th, come check out
The State of My World (Tour) at
Buffas Bar & Restaurant. Its a works-in-progress as I hope to develop a show for more international travel in the future. I'll sing a few ditties about my creative journey and experiences with
Transylvania Bats and
Waterloo watering holes. Sorta. In addition to the performance I will have a photo exhibit on the walls featuring my (experimental) liquid emulsion prints.
I've enjoyed playing around with different photographic formats and techniques during the World Tour, using 35mm, Holga, digital point and shoot and even camera phones to capture the ever changing landscape in the state of my world. It's nice to know that through all of the wide variety of photographic apparatuses we have available to us these days to capture a diverse and evolving world, the true essence of photography: capturing, recording, and controlling light, remains a constant.
Musically, well, the travels have provided me with a few tunes. The ditties remain the same, but I am pleased to report I finally put a B minor into one of my songs, haha.
So I hope to see you December 7th as I celebrate the World (so far), the Journey (so far) , and my B minor.
Also, you can check out lots of photographic works this month as December brings with it
PhotoNOLA, a celebration of photography in New Orleans. Check their website to see a long list of photographic happenings all over town.
