wisdom i
ars longa,
vita brevis,
occasio praeceps,
experimentum periculosum,
ludicium difficile.
life is short,
(the) art long,
opportunity fleeting,
experience treacherous,
judgement difficult.

explain your purpose
so this site was a long time coming but only just conceived a couple short weeks ago. well not altogether "short" weeks to be honest (but more on that shortly).
i had been wanting a forum to put up some photos and perhaps get back into writing on a more regular basis. primarily a selfish need to put some thoughts and images out there - if only to get them off my own mind. a few weeks ago whilst in conversation with my friend dariusz (displacedmontrealer.blogspot) we shook hands on us both committing to posting an image a day over the course of each month. perfect. the impetus i had been too lazy to locate myself.
but this was all before...
things then proceeded to turn upside down a few days later when i was let go from my unfulfilling finance job and tracked down by a long-lost love in the space of two days. the proverbial rug had been most certainly yanked out from underneath.
with regards to the job: great thing, poor timing.
with regards to the long-lost love: inconclusive, emotionally charged, poor timing.
with regards to my general emotional state: MELANCHOLIC.
this blog will perhaps be nothing more than the rambling words and photos of a man caught between life's chapters. i hope it will be more. at the very least it is a document of a definitive time.
(...and if you were wondering, Take Me From Behind refers to an ongoing series of photos taken between 2002 and the present)
