Response To Youtube Video

I watched the video twice. I decided to do some brief untimed writing about it, because the video gave me the sensation of something both planned, and unplanned.

moment captured, exposure, blank honesty, a question, devise, a plan, expose slowly, reveal, unveil, smoker to share, shyness, between my selves, underneath, a pose, breathing, quality, juxtapose the indoor and outdoor setting, sitting, wherever, a studio time/ space. suspension, green eyes, and thick lashes. hiding feet. cold floor. skitter. open. time spans itself. here with me now. taken. space between alone. today. yesterday.

I must say that today was one of the best times I have had in a long time, and I want to thank everyone for sharing it with me. I wish it could have lasted longer, or could happen more often, but since these things inevitably can not happen I am glad for the time had. It was really nice to interact with everyone outside of a structured classroom setting, and I felt I learned alot more about everyone from this experience.
I love play it keeps you young, and doesnt happen enough.

from our discussion

All the things we talked about:

going to marion prairie on tues... drawing names and creating a word association bio for that person... maybe sending this and an item that is important to that person in a snail mail package (this would arrive at the completion of the project)... giving them the address to our blog so they can see what we have been doing and/or creating a blog with them... i think that was everything...

i totally forgot to post the words, that is, until now.
