LIFE ON BLUR

Same Spot.
Different Day.
Rinse Repeat.

Life On Blur V_Post.jpg




It seems like I’ve been on the same day for a year and half now, or maybe it’s been longer than that and I just noticed in March 2020. Everything is grey and blurring into a stream of unconsciousness. Am I awake, or am I dreaming? I don’t see a difference between either anymore. So maybe this is some kind of simulated awake dream and I’m sleepwalking life in a trance state. Am I dreaming this dream or is it dreaming me? How would I even know? There’s no instruction manual for this “world”. It’s an inward journey to search for answers.

Late in the day, an all-day state of rain, I decided on impulse to go take photos. I grabbed my gear, got the camera ready, and tucked it inside my jacket. My camera is not water resistant, let alone waterproof. I never take it out to shoot in rain, so this was going to be fun (not really) trying to keep it out of wet.

First stop was just outside where I live and I ducked under a balcony to protect my camera while I shot photos in the rain. I was not really convinced this was a safe adventure at all for my camera. I shot a few, then heard voices and realized a couple people were in the process of walking in front of my camera. I almost stopped shooting but continued and thought, I’ll delete them later.

Surprise, surprise, they turned out to be my favourite of the photos I took that day! I shot a series of six photos showing a progression of movement in the rain, through puddles. The image in this post will be minted into an NFT, three editions only. A downloadable MP4 file of the entire series of photos with audio will be included with the purchase of the NFT. I created the audio from a selection of sounds I recorded and compiled to make it.

I hate to be that guy. Just kidding, I don't hate it at all and I've never understood beginning a conversation like that. Lame. Anywho..

You should get a waterproof camera. 😉

I'm not quite sure what you mean, would you mind to clarify further, in terms of what you're referencing?

Yes, I am thinking about a waterproof camera, haha. I haven't checked costs because I know it's out of my budget until things shift and allow for it.

There's a type of person who begins sentences with "I hate to be that person but...."

Example: You ran out of gas. You're probably alright.. time to handle it. Well, there's people out there who look forward to those situations so they can be all dicky, "I hate to be that person but I never allow my gas to get below 1/4 tank.. Just sayin."

Them.

Waterproof. Wrap it up in a plastic bag and cut a hole in the front like a Halloween mask.

Tada!

LOLOLOL! Gotcha, thanks for explaining further! I've thought about doing that and I may try that out. I'll have to check to see if my camera will "consent" to being wrapped in plastic 😜😁

Where have you been all my life, pro financial advisor??? I've been missing out!
I'm enjoying immensely, me and my twisted sense of humour, not quite of this world, LOL! Besides, I've completely gone to the DOGS recently, so this just adds fuel to the furry, but I'm not setting dogs on fire, LOL!!!
