I feel like doing this project is making me over-think and just totally overanalyze day to day events.
I posted a picture from Halloween on Flickr and went to describe it. It started out as just a picture of an event in my life. Then as I wrote it got completely picked apart, I started discussing Halloween itself, the escaping of reality that comes with it, the teenage love for the event and why we are all so obsessed with augmenting our reality for the Halloween weekend. Not just with costumes and acting out a character but with drugs/alcohol and everything else that goes along with the celebration its like on Halloween we can totally get away from reality and make our own.
That’s not my point though, It could have just been a picture with a caption “Haley on Halloween” but with this flickr account I feel like I examine every little thing and every image to its core. I follow up on it and my mind just goes rampant with analysis. It’s an interesting effect, blogging makes me think about life more, the meanings of events and I find that pretty cool.
What is the URL for your Flicker? I would love to take a look at these photos!!! I am sure they are great. Such a big part of life is just letting yourself live it for you. But this project kind of works against that idea and that is why it can be challenging. Living with the intent of being immortal means that we are living for those who will live after us and that makes everything a bit harder to process.
