So, I’ve been cheating on photography


 
 Regina Spektor - Blue Lips [3:34m]: Play Now | Play in Popup

I’ve been pretty much bursting with artistic energy in the last couple months, but have surprised myself by not really wanting to deal with my photographs (case in point – 500 Costa Rica pictures that I have yet to edit or share…) and have instead been craving getting my hands dirty. I learned awhile ago not to question these instincts and so I signed up for a painting class. I spent this evening by myself, the new Regina Spektor album playing, trying desperately to keep the kitten’s tail out of the paint while I worked on this – the very beginnings of my first painting.

I could hardly pull myself away.

I may be married to photography, but I think perhaps I shall have to take a lover.
