4:31pm, W 23rd Street and alley parallel to N Howard Street, Baltimore, MD

Had to catch the daylight today. Gym was good. I did not have a destination in mind when I left the house. The brick/stone wall is what captured my attention. I strategically placed the camera and tripod in the electrical pole shadow. Looked and listened to the environment. Allowed passerbys to shift my momentum and choices. I've already danced today (at the gym). I used to dance faster. I'm enjoying what my slower work is yielding but it often feels monotone. Still thinking about audience and performance. Where does a project like this lead me? I want to apply to Roar Berlin this year but I also want to finish this vein of inquiry. These daily dances are the path. Destination? Sometimes I think I want to stay mostly in Baltimore for this year... This still feels like a love poem. Turning has become a bit easier. My turning is a pattern... it often comes about when I go from controlling a balance hold to falling out of one. Turning, spinning, etc transfers the energy and allows me to keep moving without the loss of control greatly shifting. I've got more cooking prep to do for the week. Back to the kitchen. Day fifty-four.
