One of those saved links...
Being an artist since I was born and an active photographer since January 2005 I´ve visited all kind of forums on the internet. By an occasion I clicked through the link to Absolute Writer a week ago, one of those saved links from before, and when gradually exploring this forum I believe my conclusions are valid that this is the right place for me for sure. I haven´t been focused on the writing before but now I can see it got the highest priority, as an artist the writing is another way of expressing myself. The brush is all the words I can use for creating an illusion for the reader like painting a picture. I´ll keep in mind to write like a script writer because I see the world like a film, I´m much more an onlooker what´s going on than a partipiciant of it.
I´ve touched down in all kind of art- and photography places and forums but much more like a tourist or a visitor who knows you´re going to leave soon.
To me it´s a totally new experience to find myself a real home on the internet as I´ve never even expected anything like that. And I´m one of those who´s feeling homeless in the world as well, my home is where my body is. Absolute Write let me settle down with a feeling of that I´m just back home and as I log out it´s with a feeling of leaving home.
My genre is and will always be pictures, in spite of all failured efforts being active among those collegues of arts and photography. Being an extremely creative artist I´m very easy going when it comes to make pictures so I always believed and took for granted that my loop is among artists though it never felt comfortable. My studio is where my body happen to be. As a photographer I´m bringing my digital compact with me and I just stop and shoot as I spot a motif, not using neither filters or lenses or tripods and lately the output of work the
photographs are made without cropping or post-processing.
On the contrary, writing to me is hard. That is heavy to work and that is heavy to row and I´m very heavy-footed when approaching the writing-tasks. There´s a power of resistance for me to struggle with when writing. I think slow and I type very, very, very slowly and I´m not even sure if I like it. But as far as I can remember I´ve always been told I should be a writer or be a journalist but it has only made me twist and turn.
Actually, I don´t like writing very much so being online is a big adventure for me to explore this genre of my creativity, a rambling expedition on one of those saved links of mine...
