With all this laying about I’ve been doing........

[Tom dinning]

I’ve not not been so relaxed since my last divorce came though.
Must be the easy life. Barely a visitor. The only disturbance is the new Friar bird chicks Chirping all day and the pee wee family attacking me if I step onto the lawn.

Spent an hour doing some images I haven’t seen for a while. Funny how I miss them first time around.

Such an ordinary shot. Too ordinary really. Neat and tidy. Not like me at all? Not sure. Oils be a secret part of my brain working to get things organised. The bloke looks content. Does he know I’m here?

That’s better. A bit of chaos. Shopping trolleys in the wood pile. Where else would you put it? Back at the shop? Not likely.

I have no idea why I do this. It’s me in a hurry? Doing something unusual? Being a pervert? Or just interested in the pole?
I seem to do it often enough to find a reason.

See what I mean.

Tom, the first one with the old bloke on the tredley, brilliant! The composition (amongst everything else) is immaculate. Not a wasted pixel to be found.

Maybe your subconscious was trying to capture a drawing of a sick prehistoric man?

I wish I was as neat with my wardrobe and office.

I’m at this moment re-reading Doisneau PARIS.

“If I’d have set myself a mission I might have collected millions of images, methodically, but it would have cost me endless days without pleasure”

he combines the simplicity and complexity of imagery so well. Im never quite sure what is important and what is not in his images.

I can’t work out whether I envy him, emulate him, channel him, admire him, want to be him.
I must be satisfied with myself and enjoy the imagery of others.

Sub-conscious?
I’m barely conscious most days.
Maybe I like poles.

Be satisfied Tom.
That is absolute top shelf.
I showed my artsy daughter. I said ‘what do think of this composition?’
“ ooh!, ooh wow!, aw shit!, whose is that?”
‘Tom, mad old bugger from Darwin’
“Oh yeah”
