civilized ku # 821 ~ strange

It should come as no surprise that I have made no pictures (other than gallery documentary stuff) over the past 2 1/2 - 3 weeks. And, for whatever reason, that fact hit me like a ton of bricks today.

When it did it me, the result was a rather weird feeling of ... well ... emptiness. Something was missing. The feeling was almost physical, like I had forgotten to put on my pants or something. It was, in a word, weird.

Time to get back in the saddle.

In other words… "something was bugging you."

I find that I go almost 2 months (1 prior, 1 after) without shooting at exhibit times. No clue why, besides obvious preparation times, but it's bizarre that I don't miss or crave it. In 2009 the year I had my most shows, I only completed 8-10 exhibit worthy cinemascapes, compared to the 20-25 I tend to create in the other years before and after 2009. That's why a good 2 year break between shows is essential. They're mentally and physically draining.
