can i call you? some questions about the S2 … i am sure you have the answers….email me your phone if it is proper to give you a call…david@burnmagazine.org

cheers, david

oh yes!! a very similar experience which i had all but forgotten about….i think i spent three days in the Milan airport hotel….proves again as always things never go in a straight line…at least not for me…i wish often for an easier way, but surely not to be…art for sure does come out of chaos…dammit!!

great story…the ultimate serendipity story….thanks for sharing…in a totally different way i have discovered some things here in Vegas that have totally surprised me….i like surprises

knowing when to pick the fruit is a full time job….and worth it!!

AKAKY

figuring out hotel showers is a full time job….and not worth it!!

oh yes, just be is right….turning in a rental car does not mean the “trip” is over…that is analytical thinking…my project is not over at all..only beginning….i am firmly hanging on to the Leica S2…when i am finished with Family Drive , then it will be time to give it up….again, the very best thing i could ever offer any one i mentor is not to get caught into the trap of thinking so narrowly right at the time when magic needs to happen….it is not what you think but how you think it…process is all about being open….and the details of the technicalities do not matter….once you can escape this gravity of process then you can fly…doesn’t mean you will always be in the air, but it does mean you can fly at least sometimes…sometimes for anything that is an attempt at greatness is the very best one can do…..otherwise you will not be able to get off the ground at all…a little bit of ecstasy is better that a whole lot of efficiency….

when the book comes out nobody is going to remember any of this “process” except those (maybe you ) who were really really paying attention…this whole online revelation of process bit will really only be absorbed by very few…i know that…this is not a mass distro kind of thing..nor is my personal mentoring…nor are my books…nor my prints….

cheers, david

well put…and totally right on…and yet the group trip does yield its own reward..as does Burn which is a very similar experience…i do Burn, i do my own books….not conflictive in the long run…we learn things we do things both ways…

again, thank you Sidney for being so helpful to us on this trip…it was really quite funny and yet so so helpful when we were literally getting weather conditions from you right from comments here…

high fives, and gratitude

cheers, david

ripeness, amigo, ripeness

Remember?

“staccare la spina”.. unplug.. and heaven helps what you will come up next ;)

What a blessing that can be.

Solitude… freedom… space… quiet… and with those, pure possibility. A meditation.

Some people seem to need little of those things and are accustomed to lives normally filled with noise, other people, agendas, lists, programmed activities, goals.

But there are people who crave aloneness, and with it the real freedom of aimlessness, in huge quantities, the way others crave food, money, power, cigarets, sex, drugs, recognition, sensory stimulation, human warmth.

A road trip with others along is an ongoing set of negotiations, compromises, accommodations. People may confuse obstreperous, eccentric, radical, or exuberant behavior in such circumstances as being “free,” but you’ve always got people and situations reminding you of who you’re supposed to be, who you were, who they want you to continue to be.

The road trip that may become a real vision quest seems to me best undertaken alone.

Me, I’m heading off the grid to Lasqueti Island for the weekend to recharge.
