JOURNALS
Thursday started with optimism, hoping to finish my newsletter by lunch. Distractions were waiting but not the usual culprits. I began my day routinely with YouTube for inspiration. A few videos can sometimes spark a burst of creativity. By mid-morning, I began printing some '80s Pop Roxy outputs, a task I'd hoped would remain straightforward.
Around 10 a.m., having wrapped up printing, I decided to shoot a brief video about the outputs. The camera setup went smoothly, but integrating the footage into an ongoing project stalled my progress. My momentum slowed as I worked on updating my '80s Pop Roxy project on ArtBlocks. The excitement for launching it made up for the growing to-do list.
Lunch offered a timely break, a moment to refuel. Back at it by early afternoon, I focused on aligning my camera settings. Again, the dreaded technical challenges returned. I stayed hopeful, knowing the value of a steady setup. The idea of plotting designs for the newsletter remained enticing but slipped farther from immediate reach.
In the afternoon, my focus returned to writing the newsletter. Distractions were rough, but I powered through the urge to stall. The newsletter wasn't meeting my self-imposed deadline, but I kept writing, hoping for breakthroughs. The task needed more than just words; it needed clarity of thought.
On the studio front, I felt the chill. Temperatures hampered the work vibe, reducing the advantage of a full day in the studio. Layers of clothing laden with thick socks helped, letting me intertwine video work with tech issues, and managing warmth with shivers. Variable heating conditions called for creative solutions.
Experimenting with a new camera lens filled brief periods between tasks. The wide-angle lens captured potential well, but I shelved plans for a proper test until Friday. The backlog of small, pending actions blocked the detailed lens focus that I’d planned.
By evening, I chased gratitude in boxes of cameras, filters and glitter pens. Maybe amidst the day's chaos, achieving a narrow focus could count today as a win.
