every time i sit down to write here (and, sorry, i haven't done so in quite some time) i think of Alec Soth's blog and how totally lame mine is in comparison.
Soth, an amazing photographer (see Sleeping by the Mississippi for a start; here's a teaser ~ http://alecsoth.com/photography/?page_id=14) is also an intriguing thinker and writer. i highly recommend visiting the Little Brown Mushroom site and reading all the popsicles so far (he's up to #37 now, i think. i'll let him explain the popsicle part). i also recommend the archive of his previous blog.
he stimulates and challenges my thinking about photography and creativity more than anyone writing today. part of me hates to admit this because i am usually loathe to like someone who already has an enormous fan club... as does Soth. but, he's just too good not to recommend. try this recent popsicle post on for size.
