Just in time for the end of a year: another culling, removing a vast amount of the social media stuff, knocking unwanted emails out by ruthlessly unsubscribing, and deleting saved links to sites that either cannot be trusted or want money for their nonsense.

This year was supposed to be my start fresh year: I had lost weight, was managing health problems reasonably well, and was increasing the amount of creativity on the day-to-day. Then health problems spun out, weight was gained back, a domino effect of meds vs. management, and my creativity dropped as fast as my reluctant time on the web increased. So now, where my hope was that 2025 would be the start fresh year, it’s starting to look like 2025 will be 2024 all over again as I seek new solutions for problems old and new.

So…I’m going to at least try to recoup my creativity, not just the photography and paints but in how I post here. This page, for example, has become 90% Letterboxd links, which is not what I intended.

Bear with me…which I say to myself as well as any of the seven people who might actually see this.

I’ve gotten so far off-track with the page; I meant for it to be a rambling, cinema-centric replacement for social media. Now, a year later, it is 90% Letterboxd links and I’m on three sm platforms.

To ease back into the thing, here are images from the year of my birth, and if I posted them a year ago, oh well…no one’s looking anyway.
