Ah, the artist trying to find himself. Bad idea. Astronomers use a "Standard Candle" measurement for evaluating the brightness of stars. There is no standard candle for me. But I've been doing digital self-portraits for years, not because I think I am so great looking, but because I'm interested in how I change--not only due to the ravages of time, but also because I'm interested in how I choose to reimagine myself from day to day. So this is the first in what will likely be an ongoing series in which I will--well, in which I guess I will be trying to find myself. ME! (12.15.2019) is my view of myself on this day. I am fractured. Shattred. The noise of my life overwhelms. I split. Artist. Old man. Poet. Web designer. Bookkeeper. Boyfriend. Now ever so much closer to the end than the beginning. But really--REALLY I AM trying to hold things together. I wonder what or who I will be tomorrow?
